Hi guys!
I put a new piston liner, piston and Conrod into my hpi 4.6 engine today, I did 2 tanks at idle, and 2 tanks less than half throttle driving in circles, all was running great during the break in period, but during the last run it started to rain, the engine seemed to lose power at times and when the tank ran out the glow plug blew and the engine was rather hot.
The air filter was wet, I'm a right in thinking that this could have been the cause of the power loss during the 4th tank, perhaps restricting airflow and overheating the engine causing loss of power?
Thanks
