    That is an expensive tecumseh!!!

    Mike Sandberg is a well-known Tecumseh kart engine builder in Aurora, Colorado. Super nice guy and an amazing machinist. Together we came up with the Super7, a bored and stroked 299cc H70. Bore 2.8135", stroke 2.932"

    That is an expensive tecumseh!!!

    I've got mine on eBay for $599.00 and no one wants it!! I'll probably pull the billet rod out of out and scrap the rest! I was really surprised one that was beat to shit with NO flywheel sold for $800 last month...

    changing intake valve seat angle from 46º to 31º on intake worth a try??

    That's a neat idea, but you may get better flow by removing the metal in each intake and exhaust port to improve flow, by blending out the sharp right angle blobs from the factory castings. This and some camshaft work really wake these HS50s up!

    Cool billet rod for the H60

    OK, my build used a H50 Motorsports block with steel sleeve, a stock H50 cast aluminum connecting rod, and a H60 crankshaft, and the .020" over Wiseco HS40 piston. With the difference in compression height of 1.150" for the H50 piston and 1.050" for the HS40 piston, this combination of parts put...

    Cool billet rod for the H60

    I'll look at my notes of my build tomorrow and see if I mentioned anything about piston pop-up. I do recall using a .040" copper head gasket on this one. My H50 block with steel sleeve did not have any trenching done do it, or was it cast like that. I have seen both versions of the blocks in the...

    Cool billet rod for the H60

    I built a Motorsports H50 block with a stock H60 rod and a bronze spacer for the wrist pin, the Wiseco HS40 .020" forged piston and saved 15g on the reciprocating weight. And the engine runs smoother! This billet rod is a cool find, congrats!

    How about a partial barter for one of your H60 billet rods, the one with the HS40 wrist pin. I may have the H70 camshaft you need as well! ;)
