  • Cut my engine losses?

    So my YS91 problems got even worse today - blew the plug AGAIN but this time its stripped the head! GRRRR

    Now a mate of mine just offered me his brand new OS91 C-spec with muscle pipe for £175 - should I just cut my YS losses and buy this instead?

    Seems a shame since I bought the right pipe for the YS and everything...

    What do you reckon?

    Brand new 91 C-Spec with Muscle Pipe for £175 - bite his hand off if it's for real.

    The pipe is about £70 on it's own if my memory serves me correctly.

      If it's running rough and popping plugs it sounds like bearings... if you do go for a different engine i think a non pumped SZ would be a better choice for your money.. you'll need a different fan though.
      you got any shims under the head sounds like over compression

        I'd go for the OS every time - I always hear of people having issues with YS tuning etc - but OS always seems to just do the job.
        Sure, you can still have tuning issues (running rich/lean) but they seem to be much easier to resolve...

        Cheers,

            Can you explain why the bearings could make the plugs unscrew Basher? I'm a little bit stoopid

            You think for £175 the SZ would be better and include a pipe?

            Its got 1 shim in there. and some bits of OS8 plugs...
