Ever wondered what putting 5x more horsepower onto a mini bike would do? Check out the Honda gx390 performance mods build video that goes over the big block engine swap from the forged piston, billet rod and crank on the bottom end, to the black venom ratio rockers, heavy valve springs, 3 stage header, and flat-slide mikuni carburetor on the top end. Plus a little bit of riding at the end.

And for beginners or ' newbies' you don't sand your piston top - you polish it for improved heat deflection back onto the combustion chamber & in a Hemi you can polish the Head combustion chamber surface too to stop carbon build up aids flame propagation without going into the science of it all.It adds HP & helps to make your engine last longer.If you've milled your piston crown you can get it Teflon coated or polish it to a shine (an old top Fueler speed secret)cheers everyone.T NZ

You should clearance the block, connecting rod, and piston before you send it out to the machine shop. you want the crankshaft, connecting rod, and piston to be balanced together. It seemed like he sent the engine to the machine shop, then milled down the piston, and ground some of the connecting rod down. I could be wrong but it wasnt to clear to me while watching the video. Great build and this video had a lot of valuable info on building a small engine. Great job and thanks for sharing it.

I've seen so many people use little short rods which put far greater stress on the cylinder and make less power instead of making clearence for rods like you did. With a little grinding you can use a 6" rod on a small block stroker which makes more power (stays @TDC longer) and removes the stresses, these engines tend to run cooler as well, all that's needed to do it correctly is grinding like you illustrated. Nice job, well explained, if I build one I will follow your lead.

I always put the rings across from each other, because the farthest away from one another is 180° the sight blow-by going through the gap, would have a long way to go having to go through 3rings and around the piston a few times, to get inside the crankcase, the top oil ring does offer some resistance to blow-by, with the drain holes in the oil ring land, the bottom oil ring would not matter to the blow-by,

First off, anytime you're doing engine internal work, you never touch off with paper. Use an edge finder and do things correctly or not at all. Standard paper is .0045". Now, your piston was made with a tolerance of .009". Slop work. As someone who worked making military components for Helicopters, ect... I had to hold tolerances of .00005. That's millionths. You couldn't pay me to accept work like this.

When you say, after lapping the Valves, they are exactly the way they need to be, I agree on one of the two. The Intake Valve seating ring is correct. The area you lapped in is exactly in the middle of the Valve Face. The Lapping ring is the correct width too. The Exhaust Valve has a seating surface that is to close to the outer edge of the Valve Seat face. The ring left from Lapping is about twice as wide as it needs to be. A Valve Seat Cutter (see Neway Valve Seat Cutter Kits - Get the right kit and you can do 3 angle valve job for even better flow) would allow you to re-cut the Valve Seat. By doing this, you would be able to move the Seat Area seen after Valve Lapping so the ring is centered on the Valve Face and the same width as the seating ring seen on your Intake Valve. Thank you for the cool video! Willie

Not sure how often you crack open your engine after you rebuild them but if the term "as little as possible" then I would highly recommend gloves when dealing with "friction bearings" oh how i hate that term. But the rod and main bearings are covered with babbitt which is very sensitive to acid, even that which is on your fingers. The bearing is negatively effective by causing low hour wear of the bearing. Just a FYI

Very well done. But I’ve always wondered why on engine clearance issues on any mini bike with a faux tank there is always room to raise the engine and put a functional gas tank same teardrop style on having the bike functionally correct with the open top as extra room. Call me old school but that’s what I believe and that is on any mini bike with fake gas tanks look at the mini bike as a real motorcycle you had a good 4+ inches on top to raise the engine. Other then that you did a great job on all your build issues with engine parts and internal clearance. Very well done. Also I have a MM-B212 Mega Moto and bought the front suspension front disc brake setup to make it as close to the MM-212 Monster Moto and found all the parts at Go Power Sports since the company went out of business even another seat. I installed my own LED duel 60 watt headlights but now you have me thinking should I take the new still in the box Predator 212cc Hemi and just get a 301cc or a 420cc and build it to put on my Mega Moto 212 instead. I will run my original for awhile while I build my replacement and put the MM-212 on my Coleman CT200U since I already removed the Governor arm and reconnected everything to the original arm assembly it came with added a .90 jet and air pod and a drop down long header. I want to build a swing arm add rear shocks but not very good at welding after over 25 years of not welding. And I’m looking for a functional teardrop gas tank but the bike doesn’t have that much room from seat to triple trees and it’s a split top bar not single like Baja’s.

When it comes to a race head, there is no substitute for a professional engine builder's work on the valves and ports. I kinda just did this to show what a DIY guy can do. No flow bench, port diameter increase, or 3 way valve jobs done. I leave that to the pros.

the weld doesn't leak, but most likely the bore for the bearing is oval now. check it using an bore gauge.
@KartFab
@KartFab 6 жыл бұрын
You are probably right. I don’t need that bearing as it is for a counterbalance that was removed. The rotating assembly was balanced afterwards.
@ricardoromanowski3073
@ricardoromanowski3073 6 жыл бұрын
thats great news, because usually when you insert bearings into oval bores they don't really like it. Glad you could achieve your preferred balancing-factor even without the countershaft. For removing bearings like this one: Either degrease it and insert a fitting shaft with some loctite 638 on it into it so you can pull on that shaft, or just turn the engine in a way that this bearing could fall out and then heat its surrounding using a propane torch and use a very light hammer or a wrench to softly tap against the case surrounding the bearing and it will fall out.

hey-next time you rebuild, try doing a 3 way valve job on the valves and the seats, do this after the lapping, so you know where to grind off material, and where to keep it. better breathing through your valves improves performance still further, and its a cheap mod. Liking your videos though, keep up the great content.
