Well, i think i will go with the design that is similar to the john deere 214 (not 314, typo). Apparently it is called a variator dive system. It uses a tensioner a twin variable pulley to act similar to a CVT/clutch combo. It is quite smart.

hello, I have decided to build a manual CVT for my next off road go kart. I have two different designs in my head, and will decide which one i am going to use soon. I plan on starting in a few months (once i am done working on my vehicles) Anyways, i am either using a design similar to that...

Will a spring loaded, stone type hone take off more material than a ball bottle brush type hone? I have to hone a couple engines including a gx390 and a 6.2l diesel, and want to take off the least material required for honing to enable the rings to sit properly. So, which would be better for my...

Here's my car, a 1980 oldsmobile diesel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOwgcDMgXUE

So, is this triangle one or the square one...

here is a pic of the new chain tensioner set up.

I have gotten the gx160 head and flywheel on, and will post pics of the fixed chain tensioned tonight. Also, i took it for a run on some a loose gravel road, and still managed to muster 69.7KM/h or 43.3MPH. I think i will be able to get into the high 70's low 80's (KM/h) when i get this thing on...

I know that, but are there any ways of telling which one you have via a serial number or external marking of some sort?

I was wondering, is there a way to tell the difference between the 14cc head and the 18 cc head?

-6.2L gm diesel. Can put a 6.2 or 6.5 anywhere you can put a small block v-8/v-6 chevy engine as long as computers are not involved. -yanmar and yanmar clone single cylinder diesel.

So you are saying a couple of years ago there was that pit problem in the casting of clone engines? That would make sense because the engine was bought a couple of years ago just hasn't been used until now. Also, i don't plan on doing anything about the pit as it is near the bottom of the...

That is what i was thinking it might be, but arn't these engines supposed to have steel cylinder liners?

i took the head off of my gx200 clone to swap in a gx160 head. I looked at the bore, and it looks perfect except for a pit near the bottom of the bore. could it affect anything?

Fixed the tensioner so it puts tension on the bottom of the chain, and am in the process of putting a gx160 head and flywheel for advanced timing and higher compression.
