Introduction, Basic Engine Parts - O.S. engine MAX-12CV Series Owner's Instruction Manual

The MAX-12CV and MAX-12CV-X are
high-performance engines for 1/10
class R/C racing cars. The MAX-12CV-X
is equipped with a built-in recoil starter
system which eliminates the need for a
separate electric and starter battery.
NOTE:
With this engine, the piston will feel tight at
the top of its stroke when the engine is cold.
This is normal. The piston and cylinder are
designed to achieve a perfect running
clearance when they reach their normal
running temperatures.
