Help with engine specs


Recommended Posts

Hi, I was tuning a sfm piston engine and I'm not sure what some of these specs are. Could someone please decipher them?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, did you ever find info on this else where? I have added comments to the parts I know but the others are still a mystery
