Here's what the head looks like
How much better? I could probably get some 93 octaneYou gotta measure it.
It's hard to tell a 20 from a 18 with the eyeball. The 14 is ez to recognize.
The last 18 I seen came off a 2016 stock baja warrior/heat. Seems like for the passed 4 or 5 yrs they all have been 20's or 22's.
The 14's came on the stock gx160 and clone 168's. They both are 163cc engines.
You gotta use a dished piston when using a 14cc head on a 196 or bigger engine, unless you wanna run a better fuel.
Tech: cheap and dirty cylinder head CC
Stupid little tip here... If any of you guys are trying to figure Compression ratio on an OHV engine, and you want to CC your heads, here's some...www.jalopyjournal.com
You never know what the manufacturer put on there.
Only pump gas I trust is, 87 octane.How much better? I could probably get some 93 octane
It depends on what it's gonna be used for.I am not going to start building the engine for a while, but I will come back when it is time.
Do you have any specific parts you suggest using? If the head is 20cc or less should I use it instead of the stock 212 head?
This flywheel will save 4-5 ozs on the crank and $80 on your wallet, compared to the billet flywheel.Will do. I'm looking forward to building this engine. I don't want it super powerful, just a little spicy and safe to rev higher. I want it to last.
Here's a list of parts I wanted for my engine:
-billet rod and flywheel
-duration cam (if they make them)
-stiffer springs
-flat top piston
-excuse
-mikuni carb
If there is anything I missed and should include, or some things I should take away from this list let me know. I'm working on building a budget for this build and need to see what the parts will potentially cost.
