Engine is breaking in nicely. Got about 10mi on it yesterday.
It's still not performing as well as the other engine, but since I mounted this one, I made sure to have better alignment. The smoothness is considerably better. As it's breaking in, the top speed seems to be decent, just slightly below the old one, but surprisingly it's not doing great on hills. That's odd because it's performing better in the low end range on straitaways. It may just be that this engine has less power and thats what I'm feeling. Still without going WOT for more then 10s at a time, I got it going 26 mph in a mostly flat area.
I definately want to look at the ports later, because I'm thinking it's possible they're not well aligned. Unless this engine has less stroke or displacemnt, I can't figure out the difference.
