Im a newbie to the x16xe engine i have bought a tigra to rip it out and put in my nova

What should i watch out for common faults?

The car will be used in hillclimb events and sprints pure track not road going so no mot needed etc...

What works for people wheres the best place to get parts?

Also i wont be running the plastic rocker cover but this seems to make the oil cap not fit well is this just mine or others experienced it???

Thanks

Alex

P.S alot of questions i know but just wanna know what im looking at

Valve stem seals is a common problem for these engines mate, and also a lot of people split the bottom part of the oil cap (black bit) away from the yellow bit

The bad fitting of the cap is usually down to the rubber seal, changed mine and all was good
