    Baja from scrap

    King motors are expensive in canada. Pretty sure ebay is the cheapest place you can find them. Its like 450- 500 dollars + another 150$ for shipping just for a roller.

Id love to get a 1/5 but i don't got the budget (well i do but including other expenses not really). Ive got...

    Clean an engine without taking apart?

    Screws are pretty small, ill stop by the hardware store today to get a screw extractor. The plier method didn't work and i don't want to risk using the dremel near the engine.

    Clean an engine without taking apart?

    Thanks for replies, I'm going to try using pliers to back them out and if doesnt work ill try using a dremel. I'm also gonna order a screw set off ebay. By the way it was the factory that installed them and i have removed them yet.

    X to xl 2.0?

    Thanks for the reply. Ill probably just wait until the xl 5.9 has been released and buy stock parts for it or i can maybe buy some octane tvps (if the 2.0 uses the same one) and some other parts before the 2.0 releases. The engine plate for the octane v1 looks similar to the engine plate of a...
