I bought this thing 5 years ago at HF and it has been in the box since then.
I got motivated this week to do something with the Lifan to play around with some extra HP on one of my Minibikes
I now have a stage 3 kit from NR racing which includes a bored .65 honda carb, small fan, honda oem flywheel w 8DEG timing key, K&n airfilter and adapter, 22 lb springs, honda valve guide, Mod 2 cam, header and an Arc billet rod. Governer and oil sensor are out , holes plugged and I am about ready to reassemble. Here is my question:
The Lifan has no lash cap on the intake valve, only on the exhaust valve. Do I need to add one for this build or go back with the stock valve train/ rocker assembly ( w/o intake lashcap) with the new cam for this engine? Some of the builds that I have reviewed add one, some do not. when do you need one?
Also, What do you guys use for break-in oil? What oil are you running after break in, in similar built clones ?
