Anyone out there have some old Rossi parts for 81 size engines? Let me know what you may have and what you would like for them?

Hi Brad,
Mine are 80's, I'm not sure if Rossi made .81's. I have at least one complete engine and may have new p/l/r. gaskets, CeeBee exhaust throttles, spare crankcase extra rods etc. I have some Terry Keely titanium rods as well. It is all up in Michigan and I can't give you a complete inventory until we get back north the week after Easter.
Thanks, John

yeah, there were a few versions of the popular Rossi "80" marine engine back-in-the-day. Most used the same 2-piece case originally used for the .61 engine class. This same case was used for the .65, .80, and .81 models. The displacement was stamped on the side of the mounting lug (although the case mold shows ".61").
I've run, both, the R65 and R80 versions. Very good engines.

I am just getting back in the hobby after 20 years. I have 2 Rossi 65 brand new ( one in a 61 case, the other an actual 65 that looks like a ringed piston)I would like to use but have not been able to find 10 degree headers. I like exhaust throttles and have also been unable to find anyone who makes them. Would anyone have anything for these engines to sell. Also can anyone tell me the difference in the two engines?

Send an e-mail to Al Hobbs as he has 10 degree headers for 67-80 engines also the 45's

both are very good running versions of Rossi R65 Marine engines. I believe both are drum valve induction (I know the right one for sure, as I own a few). However I believe the one pictured on the left-side (in the first image) is a newer model (early 1990's).
Most serious racers (back in the day) would have the rear-plate fitted (modified) with a bronze bushing, also use RPM rod. The stock carb is decent, I've used one racing (in mono). Later I switched to an exhaust throttle.
