David,

Elias is running a Russian built Kalistratov 90 (K-90). The piston/liner is an improved copy of the Rossi 90. All other parts are much different from the Rossi.

The complete engine is not in production, but P/L's and Rods are in production and readily availble. The K-90 that is runing in Elias's boat is 15 years old. It is among the fastest out there. Elias won the Orlando Winter nats with that boat. The orignal owner of that boat and engine ran 98 mph with it in 1997. We were running a V967/3 on the boat that day in 1997. That was the only thing different about the boat from the way Elias raced it last weekend. Even the Steve Muck 90 pipe is the same one we ran 98 mph with.

RIP Joe Ingrao , previous owner of that boat if i'm not mistaken . Boat hauls .

ah I see, thanks Andy. I've read about the K-90 but never seen one in person, very interesting.
When you say that the piston/sleeve is an improved copy of the Rossi 90 are you referring to actual Rossi parts?

The K-90 Piston/Liner is made in Russia, not by Rossi. They are interchangable betwen the two engines and the ports are almost exactly the same. The piston is Dispal 226 the brass is harder and the chrome is finished more finely.

Here is a pic of the current K-90 P/L
