Big Dyno Numbers With a Blown Engine ~ Predator 224cc Max Performance Stage 4

Today we get our built 224cc Predator in the garage. This engine has been smoking from the breather tube for a while so its time for a rebuild. We dyno it first to see what kind of power its putting down. Then we find some big damage! We rebuild and dyno again. What numbers will it make on the dyno?!?!

That is the coolest valve cover I've ever seen for this engine !

[@yetti_31]

No Red, you’re the champ. I was super excited when you announced this series, as I’m an engineer. This is freaking awesome dude. Keep up the good work my friend!

[@MaldonadoMoto]

Cant wait for the big blocks!

[@brentharvey9858]

Best channel on KZbin hands down. I love this road to HP series and cant wait to see the MB 200 get put back together and tested!

[@whathappened2230]

Feel like ruining, I mean fixing a stock 224 block?.. So maybe... Drill the head bolt bores all the way down into the crankcase, tap, then studs. Yes balance! Out of balance rotating assembles trash parts and engines, plus waste power. Thank you Red for this vid!

I like watching your builds as I am a retired director of engineering over one of the largest companies in the world and an ASE certified mechanic.

Love the dyno videos buddy I love seeing how much these small engines can do on a dyno🤘

[@robertwest3093]

Before and after dyno tests never get old! Thank you for sharing this.

[@sbfguy7793]

It's so nice to actually see dyno data on these smaller engines. I'm amazed that thing made 17hp in the condition it was in!

[@Jalen_Knight8526]

I love the way he says “real nice”

[@562jamesj]

Bro I love how you dyno before and after everything at every opportunity it is super helpful knowledge!

[@richardmattix5322]

Your the man on these motors. love to watch you do that stuff.

[@C-M-E]

From a failure diagnosis standpoint, that looks like a classic case of thermal expansion difference between an aluminum block and a steel sleeve. Not something that happens overnight naturally, but a cyclical effect. That is an impressive power level nonetheless, especially for one coming apart (almost literally) at the seams!

[@lssux4371]

Cerakote is a thermal reflector, aluminum is designed to dissipate heat at a fast rate...the cerakote will slow it down and hold heat in the block causing it to warp and crack,plus the vibration the 224 has doesn't help either.

[@jaywerne3812]

Awesome video as always! I can't believe she was putting out over 17hp with a split block and a blown head gasket!

[@CODOutdoors]

R.I.P old 224! Hold on tight new 224 it's gonna be a bumpy ride!🤙

[@cedhome7945]

Can't wait the 420-460cc engine on the Dyno😁

[@sammylisasmith2104]

This video was fun thanks for your time and the information

[@chrishall513]

You are killing it man these videos are awesome

[@nicksilva8966]

Get a wiseco piston and a long rod to reduce side-to-side forces, it will help the piston to focus the force more directly to the crank.
