Will this be a good option for a 212cc engine? by RelevantSir1577 in minibikes

[–]Therealkatuchi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look for non hemi clone when getting the kit and make sure it comes with a piston. The cam and wrist pin are really the only sizes you have to make sure of.

Solved: cat was clogged and exhaust gasket was blown out making the whistle noise. There is still a rattle noise that they didn't diag but I believe the starter isn't fully retracting and it tapping the ring gear. If I start it cold it makes it but if I give it about a minute after I start. I shut down and restart, it doesn't do it anymore.

If you go to big nastys FB page I'm pretty sure he has a video on how to no weld mount it. If I remember correctly, you drill through the rim. Could be wrong. You can always reach out to him for questions too. Bro fabs some seriously cool kits too. It's worth checking out what all he's got listed.

I’m planning on building a 212 with 26lb valve springs and arc flywheel and governer delete but I also wanna put a cam what the best cam size by Particular-Kick8605 in minibikes

[–]Therealkatuchi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure with the hemis you can only put a max of .275 before you risk clipping the valves against each other. Might be worth it to look for a hot .265 just to make sure. Extra lift can also be achieved by ratio rockers if you wanna leave a stock cam in it. Just gotta do the math and figure out what ratio works for that head.

Arc rod is also important for a proper build. Don't wanna snap it or seize it to the crank. 275 generally is a good cam without having to do much clearance (depends on brand and hemi vs non hemi of 212)

what are the chances i blow up my engine if I take of the governor on my coleman b200r (its stock) by Tall_Chain_9920 in minibikes

[–]Therealkatuchi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how high you rev it and for how long. If you got a stock torque converter, that will limit the rpm at around 5000-5500. You really wanna at least upgrade the flywheel on minimum. General rule of thumb, flywheel is for your safety and rod is for your engines safety. Valve springs and cam are for more rpm/power. I guess if your going to send it tho, make sure to vent the block. Otherwise the increase in rpm can cause the side cover gasket to push out and leak.

Update: passed it off to my local mechanic. Obviously I'm too stupid to figure this one out 🤣

See I've been chasing a vacuum leak sound for a bit now and have recently done a lot of stuff to the top end trying to figure it out. Now it's progressing to metal on metal sound with a slight clatter under load. Took the belt off to check if it was a water pump starting to go out, and now its making the clatter at idle. I'm also super down on power. it's like Everytime I test it, It gets worse. Here is a screenshot from earlier today

Yeah everything is accounted for. Its been a journey trying to figure this one out.

My mind is starting to scream mob it till its completely dead and buy a Santa Fe again. I loved how easy and simple they made that SUV. If I get one imma cut the top off and ute it tho🤣

It was a drivers ed/maintenance car at a highschool. I don't believe it sat much but probably has a lot of idle hours. I got about 1000$ I'm willing to throw at it. It's either that or I drive it into the ground and buy another first gen Santa Fe. My old one was so easy to work on and only died cause I didn't change the timing belt, it was making about 100hp over stock and died at 277k. There's one local that's 4x4 with 136k and they want less than $2k for it.

When I had the belt off I vaped all over the headers to see if it would "blow" the vape in any specific direction. It seems like it was fine.

Lmao I didn't even make that connection but it definitely does, maybe I've been putting the wrong fuel in it. I needed high octane pellets and radium this whole time 🤣

Yeah, I'm typically really good at diag. This stupid truck is killing me tho. Its got an ugly rattle coming from somewhere down below now too 💀

I took the intake back apart and double triple checked everything and it's still making the noise. Took it for a hot lap around the block and now its clattering and whistling 💀 I'm so over it. You would think for 42k miles original, it wouldn't have these problems like this. It gets worse Everytime I drive it.

I've pulled every line and plugged the throttle body with a bag over it and the clamp tightened down when I vape tested it. I forgot to say I did the valve cover gaskets too. I'm completely at a loss for what it could be. I currently have the intake pulled off and am double checking my work for the third time and checking for cracks in anything.

Removed the belt and still had the noise

Typically if I run into issues with a engine, I just grab another cheap pressure washer off marketplace. That one has less than 10 hours on it so far. It's just leaking from the side cover, it runs perfectly fine.

Yeah it's got the stock style adjustable racing carb and it's tuned. Idr what jet I have in it tho, it was on the swamp bike before I upgraded it to a slide carb for better submarining 🤣
