Nothing too fancy here. Pretty basic ingredients. Also missing some pictures along the way
HF GX200 clone
The block is basically stock with the Gov removed and a crankcase vent added.
The head has a little more work. I removed .075 from the head surface with a belt sander and finished with by wet sanding on a piece of glass until it was true and I also did a mild port and polish job.
Flattop piston
ARC +.020 rod brought the piston up to .008 in the hole
Burris .027 MLS gasket
NRracing 285-0607 cam (Thanks to edwin on this board)
GX160 lifters
Cut to length pushrods from NR
Billet pushrod guideplate
26 lb springs
Bored 24mm GX390 carb from NR
Intake manifold from NR gasket matched to head and carb
Mikuni fuel pump
Uni filter
Robertsons H-loop header
ARC flywheel
MSD plug wire
8 degree timing key
Custom girdle
AGK head studs and side cover bolts. I also also bushed the side cover holes with steel brake line to help control movement.
All bolts secured with safety wire or cotter pins.
Noram Cheetah clutch
On to some pics
Initial teardown to check piston height
Drilled out the hole between the pushrods
Block and head painted with VHT wrinkle paint
Ready to start assembly
Checking out the rod clearance
Somewhere between .003 and .004
Checking piston to valve clearance. (Plenty of room)
GX160 lifters next to a GX200 lifter
Cam lined up (Pardon my messy job with the assembly lube)
Mocking up the girdle
Beginnings in steel
And some finished pics
