Mmm...That New Engine Smell

[T-Town Mini]

Fresh out of the box:

Harbor Freight got a new shipment of Predators since my last visit so, I picked out a Hemi.

The specs show 3600 RPM instead of 3800 RPM....:shrug:

It has a manufacture date of Feb. 2014 so I hope I got a good one.

Guess that debunks the available for a limited time only story if they're making them in February still

Loncin did not develop this engine for harbour freight

You can tell it's a Hemi from the 10,000 decals warning you of things.

my new one that was just swapped out has the vented tank, same as above, but my valve cover is not like that, the box said 60363, guess its not the hemi version.

I'm going on what others having the experience of working on them said prior that the aluminum valve cover and part number 60363 being the hemi version.

But, as noted, the RPM is listed as 3600 and not 3800. I have no plans of opening the head to have a look so, I don't know what I have for sure. :chinese:

You have one.
Now technicaly this is called a Loncin 210FA.
Its not a true hemi but its close.

More than Harbour freight sells this engine.
Likely it will be the standard Snowking engine since most photos in China show it in winterized form.

 

[Camjamsdad]

The 69730 is the 3800 rpm motor. I've heard it comes with bigger valves, although mine didn't.

I think the hemis were all 3600 rpm?

 

[catfishman]

I am fine with what I got, just need that tank

 

[T-Town Mini]

I can't use the tank it came with since the cap hits the frame on my Bonanza. I'll have to use the small one I have until I can get an original MX tank.
