Temu 420cc

[Sauer_35]

Has anyone had experience with the Temu engines? They are just another from of a Honda clone, probably made from the same factory. The 420cc on there is selling for 240.00.

Looks like a Rotaderp to me but without the stickers and electric start.

I’m debating. I’m hearing Temu is hit or miss with actual delivery. I’ve wasted more than 250 on stupider things

Looks like an awful lot of engine for the money. I think if I was in the market for a big block, it would be hard not to give it a try. If you do pull the trigger, let us know your opinion after you run it a bit.

I’m reading some reviews of these other clone engines an people are saying the Cam is made of plastic.

 

[Denny]

Is it the cam or just the gear?

Just the gear. It's pressed on also with no indexing key. It gets a little warm and the plastic slips on the shaft and guess what. Your timing just changed. Maybe a little maybe a lot. Dunno. Maybe it went so far and valves kissed the piston. Wanna place wagers?

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Wait! There's more.

Just found this on the gagaler.
Looks like crap to me.

Variable valve timing, Chinese style!

Those cam lobes look mighty plastic too! Aftermarket cam time? Or is the piston and valves plastic too?

Sure look nylon to me.

A Chinese development company is currently working on the "impossible" engine.
it contains no actual metal products! Built entirely from rice and bamboo substitutes with yak grease as a binding agent. 100% natural!

It meets the green agenda but still won't pass the prop 65. It might cause California in the state of cancer.

 

[Kartorbust]

That money would be better spent on a proper clone that you know will have at least some better QC/QA.

 

[Denny]

I’m never moving to California because everything there causes cancer. I’ll stay in a state where we can have all the fun stuff without the cancer!

Trying to think back to my Techumseh tear down. I think the whole camshaft was plastic.
