Very Cool Mr. Joe.!

[@LNRRidez]

By far the best explanation of building a motor I have seen so far! Keep the videos coming as they are very helpful. I found your channel on one of the mini bike Facebook pages.

[@MuscleMinibikeBuilds]

Thank you for the compliment I try to do my best only out of passion for the hobby and something I've enjoyed since I was 10 years old oh, I feel however I can probably get long-winded in a explanation but I guess that's a little better than not explaining it all, but again thank you for the compliment

[@jodyatarcracing9112]

FYI, if you smear a drop of oil on the rod and cap before installing the bearing it will help the bearing self align when torquing down.

[@race-all]

I was taught, when building engines not to do that. It has a chance of spinning a bearing. If this is going to self align it could spin. Put it in right dry & you reduce the chance of movement. I guess it's personnel preference.

[@mruble38]

[@Captainkleen]

Nice build! I’m currently working on my mini bike that the company went outta business shortly after I bought it. I wanted the MM-212 Monster Moto that came with the front hydraulic fork system and the front and rear brakes but had to settle for the MM-B212 same bike with a bit smaller frame tubing a rear disc brake instead of front and rear and no headlight. I solved one problem I put two 4” over and under 60 watt each LED lights wired to an ammo box on rear rack that holds my Talentcell 6,000 A/C mah battery and 12,000 D/C mah with a USB port for charging cellphone or any USB devices. I found a new seat and bought it to have and jetted the carburetor put a large air pod on it and put a low long header on it. But I’m trying to find a 25” fork suspension to hold a tire 19”x7-8 so I need a gap of 9 3/8” between forks Go Power Sports has 28” fork tubes and I’m trying to keep the forks at around 25” from top triple tree to wheel hole. If I can get a set then I’ll put a swing arm on rear for rear shocks. Any ideas of places who might have the front hydraulic forks suspension? The company website who made the mini bike is down and parts for the Monster Moto 212 is very scarce at best.

Thanks Charles.. Now let's see how good I did when it's on the Dyno at JMBR in October.. 😎👍

[@minidragbike]

That dyno is pretty hard on engines, but if I were to guess I would say like 18hp

[@MuscleMinibikeBuilds]

@@minidragbike I'd like to see that on the chassis dyno 18hp is respectable on 100 octane fuel, I figure 10-12% loss as compared to a crank dyno which would put it at my target of 20hp, thanks for the input.. 👍

[@samsgarage1716]

Great channel I just joined.

[@budipirang2694]

Wow very nice

[@domdegood5376]

If you cut a grove on the bearing at an angle you spread the oil better. You can rub a bit of oil on the seal to hold it in place.

[@lince197]

Congratulations on the work. I found the head lubrication system very interesting. could you explain better how it was done? Thank you.

[@MuscleMinibikeBuilds]

I like to run a vent line from either the old governer arm hole ot top of the side cover to the top of the valve cover to help splash lube the rockers, then run a vent off the valve cover to a catch can

[@KozmonautToribash]

@Whoop!

[@josephschmier3733]

Funny you say 🤣 stagger your rings .... rings rotate it really dosent matter . But old school says so.

[@MuscleMinibikeBuilds]

Well they all rotate eventually in the bore but starting with them clocked or staggered so ring gap ends aren't aligned helps eliminate oil bypass through ring gap, but yeah they move and rotate but not at the same rate or the same time

[@tahangthoha2164]

Good

[@vinylexperience77]

Yellow Teflon tape is really for natural gas. Use pink Teflon is will handle the oil and has a better heat capability.

[@michaellarcom]

I'm just wondering when you buy the mikuni 22 or 24 mm carburetors are they already jetted for that particular engine or do you have to figure out the jetting yourself for the pilot jet in the main jet?

[@MuscleMinibikeBuilds]

Most carbs always need jetting

[@scorpioslab]

Hey it's better to run an inline fuel filter for the valve cover vent, and the gas tank vent they don't get clogged up with debris since they're enclosed.

[@robertduncan2742]

Very good film, I haven't seen anyone rebalance the crank to remove more weight and needle bearings in the piston.

[@MuscleMinibikeBuilds]

There's only a few guys that balance these crank assemblys I've never had a issue but do wieght old piston, rings and wrist pin to compare and there usually really close like a few grams close

[@timf.9879]

What was the measurement you needed for the plastigauge? I ask because I'm doing a similar build, a stage two on a brand new Tillotson

[@MuscleMinibikeBuilds]

.0025-.0035 is the range ARC likes to see, I ended up with .003"

What valve cover did you use? I can’t seem to find any that show they can be used in the Tilly

[@maxtaylor1026]

I have a stupid question, what is the purpose of the tubes that run from the crank case to the valve cover?

[@MuscleMinibikeBuilds]

To vent the crankcase and relieve pressure

[@michaelchoate2810]

Is it just a cam and head swap to convert to non hemi? What else changes? I can only find hemis right now but I wanna go extreme with a non hemi so an aftermarket head is coming qnyhow

[@fatbuddycat]

I've been torquing to 170 and then just a little "mmmmph" beyond. I've been doing my head bolts at 200 inch# and a little extra on the "mmmmph" since 20 ft# is more like 208 and I don't have a ft# wrench in my temporary shop. Holy shims guy, a Hisun 196 I built had a little play, what made this one travel so much?

[@Deucealive75]

The end play was probably by design with that side cover he was using. They just made end play adjustable. I just did a mild build on a NOS Greyhound 196 and it had very very little end play with stock crank and side cover. I didn't bother measuring it. What do you think of the Hisun? They're not bad. Just a decent clone.

[@fatbuddycat]

@@Deucealive75 I actually really like the overall casting of the Hisun. Mine is off an early 2016 that was the last of the 3/4 shaft models. I've seen a lot of the older Hisuns still run after years of use and being left outside. I swapped a 14cc head on it and I'm running it on a clutch bike so I'm really running it harder these days. The build I did absolutely loves mid to top end revs. It blows my Predator 212 away so I've deemed it The Predator Getter!

[@Deucealive75]

@@fatbuddycat That's great to hear. Over the years I have seen a lot of people buy a 212 just because the Hisun had the 16mm shaft. In many cases the Hisuns were still pretty new. The owners were also new and didn't want to swap out a $30 crankshaft. To me, discarding a decent engine for the mighty Predator is quite a waste. The only reason I have an extra Hisun is because I was dead set on mild building my Greyhound which was originally bought for a mini bike before I even had one. The extra Hisun will be a great backup if any of my other clones fail and I need to swap out right away. Probably wouldn't get that much for it if I sell it because everyone wants a Predator. lol

[@fatbuddycat]

@@Deucealive75 lol, exactly! I pulled my modified Hisun off my ct200u to sell it with a Predator then modified it even more! I keep a full gx160 race motor on deck, I modify just to do it and its not even on a bike. She's gotta be getting up there in power. I'm working the Honda head pretty soon, I'd really like to get one from PaulsKarts but they are $299!! I'll end up doing it though just to have one of his heads on something whether it goes on a bike in the next year or not. I could always put it on my Hisun which already has the 14cc head conversion.

[@irondiver292]

What is an acceptable final drive for something with a 3/4” shaft putting out 20 hp

[@MuscleMinibikeBuilds]

5.1 overall ratio

[@beefnugget2494]

People always say they're increasing it up to about 20 horsepower but yet I never see anyone put it on a dyno, I just want some form of proof cuz anyone can say anything

[@dallaslee7202]

Why did you change from the hemi head to the standard head?

[@MuscleMinibikeBuilds]

You can run bigger valves, higher lift cams and rockers with less issues with piston to valve clearence, also non hemi heads are more popular to build higher hp builds

[@timbenham516]

Is the dual bearing side cover for the tillotson or Predator?

[@MuscleMinibikeBuilds]

Tillotson, Honda, Predator Hemi and Clones use same side cover, only the non-Hemi Predator are different basically
