Well glad to help I'm wanting one of these motors aswell for my collection.

Those side ports might be for getting oil into the ring grooves in the piston

It serves a few purposes that is 1 another is relieving pressure during the stroke

My big red runs around 190 to 220. In 80% weather which is our normal temp during summer. 90% tops..very cool running engine

Great info bro.. I love my big red. The pullstart stripped on me during first break in..in a savage25 you can't get to the rear spin start. Which is what got me to start modifying mine. But amain warrantied it right away... now I preheat always and mostly use the spin roto start option.. but the pull starter can be used after. Mine starts right up after preheat. I coukd breath on it. It starts..lol I've never taken mine apart. But it was set way to rich to run. I use an os8 in MIne now. Just over a gallon through it now. Can't wait for spring..it's a tourqe monster for sure. I will get a different engine eventually just to try out a different engine. Maybe some .32 lrp or something. 😎

Yeah pulling it apart I bet it's a monster I'm wanting to buy one for myself as soon I can

Upside is you and get a SH 28P8 piston and sleeve as a nice upgrade for cheap. 😉

@@Nitro_rc_life they are good for that. I find the SH or LRP pull starter to be better quality than the set up on the big red. Sounds weird being they are all made in the same factory by SH haha

My carb is way out of tune and I don’t know enough about them to get it right

Ya you would think they would use a better string fir it but atleast it's a pull/spin combo

Was good sealing till you forced the crank out. Should have heated it slightly
