your engine doesnt have a rev limiter its just that at that rpm is where you float your valves if you want to get more rpms out of it you need beefier valve springs but that comes with risks like exceeding any speed limitations that the crank and cam might have andafter a point maby how strong your valves are

[@jamesgravel7755]

All you have to do is buy the horizontal side cover and retrofit it with a motor plate. It’s the same thing basically.

[@dannydecare2116]

I've done this a bunch of times You undo one bolt and the connecting arm to the crank shaft. Take a piece of coffee can or soup. Can bend it in a way that will scoop and throw oil. Make sure you rotate it. So it's not hitting. Anything I used to make Go-Karts with them all the time.

You need to fix the mixture on the carb so you can remove The rev limiter😂

[@DatBlueHusky]

its always been a thing to do it on the cheap, you just fill the crank case enough that the rod can dip into the oil. It wont last forever but will be enough to have fun with for awhile. Other things ive done is just get a piece of sheet metal and make a dipper and bolt it to one rod bolt, works well.

[@freedomisntfree_44]

You can make or buy the little oil splasher that connects to the connecting rod for horizontal engines… I’ve made a few mower engines work that way

I need to do the opposite. Mount a horizontal shaft engine vertically. Since I am in California I cannot legally buy a new engine for my riding mower. My engine had something try to exit the crankcase via a non-engineered exit hole. Harbor Freight has only small vertical engines, I need a 17 HP or larger. But Harbor Freight does have large horizontal engines. Engines For Less, and other vendors, will not ship their 17 HP vertical engines to California. This video has me contemplating doing a similar modification.

I just got my first car! She's a 2009 Buick Lucerne, and she belonged to my mom's friend's late grandfather. She's practically new, there's no rust, no tears in the seats, no stains on the interior, the headlights aren't foggy, she was even garage kept her whole life. Unfortunately, they are known to have some fairly serious reliability issues, mainly relating to the electrical and fuel systems, as well as faulty water pumps, though the powertrain is pretty durable minus the previously mentioned water pumps. I'm still super happy with her though, and I'm very proud that I've actually managed to save enough money to buy a car and still have about $2,000 in savings left over.

Not supprised it runs that good, the balance shaft 100% is working as the oil slinger. And due to it being a horizontal shaft, you can use a regular go cart clutch and a chain, and no belt slip, with a tiny back sprocket. Then it will be a beast!
