The pin will be circlipped.

Stunt timed

Yes they will thus work in the 40FSR and Tower 40 and anything else FP40 sets fit.

Hope is At Hand . 

These will fit FSR 40 ( NOT 45 ) O.S. , Magnum , Royal, ASP and if theres any other clone  seperate front husing suuckers .



Tho the C/L ' S ' had other shaft timing ( almost the same as Royal 45 ) if anyone else is inclined to try this .

FP Head Fits too ,



Thrown one on my gen u wine FSR 40 S OS , havnt persued sufficently , but seems to have softened it up no end .

Thought Id throw this on as theyre are zillions os FSRs out there , Tamed theyed be usefull.

Ive thrown the cases backward ( & the rod ) for outboard muffler , on my 40 & 45 .
dunno if this makes any run variation . Early Wisnewski Torpedos were thus orientated .

Thanks Matt   
Useful info for those that like the FSR's .
Have you run a Royal 45 ?

     I had a Royal 45 from a well-known, even notorious, reworker. It had tremendous power (compared to an ST46, anyway - just like all the "schneurle wars" engines), but by far, the worse "schneurle effect" of any engine any of us had ever tested. Even when shimmed for 6 second laps inverted and 5 seconds upright (about *1/4"* from equal), it still went screeching lean on outsides and rich on insides.

    It was later given away and used with some success on a profile model.

I have an FSR 40 and it runs beautifully. It may have been one Randy did as I got it from another C/L flier who never used it. Very fine engine!

Magnum 45 , Gerald. Havnt been able to score a cheap Royal 45 .

A vord off vorning ,

You can spend a hour meticulously drilling centering & reaming the spray bar hole , in a Magnum case ( 40 & 45 ) ;

Parrallel to the Cinch Bolt & centered in the intake ( Takes the OS 40 S intake ) .

Fit the Spay Bar & observe from above . The #%*! thing is 2 or 3 degrees ANGLED . Like the Cinch Bar .

THEREFORE DONT use the cinch bar hole as a referance with the Vernier or Mallet .

Willum PMum you , Gerald . 

The 45 in the Magnum thing with the 12 x 4 3 Bl Bolly pretty much ' locked in ' , muffler bolts strip easy . Replaced 4 B.A.
Copy of C S C muffler raised objections. Significantly Quieter when it Fell Off .  . ( 1 extra head gasket ) .

Want to fit a 45 to the  P-51 for some reason. Probably authority on the 4 blade prop .& overhead injun authority .
The OS Front Case goes straight on the rest of the Magnum .

Swaping Case / outlet to outboard side, the rod big end chamfer for the crank radius needs to be taken into account ;
i.e. leave the rod front at the front , pull the wrist pin, reverse the piston so it still matches the bore as per original .
refit etc.
Trying shaving the block to drop the timing will see S.P.I. / exposed under piston @ T D C .

Thanks Gerald . Will thow a 5225 at you . Youll have to use a wooden prop . Hard Labour with bread & water , if they break the prop .

Yes, theres ' cyclones ' in N.Z. .Elsewhere they call them Hurricanes .
3 Depressions & a high , in the Tasman Sea & itll be rather damp.
Four , Batten down the hatches .
