thats interesting and i was skeptical at frist til li read al lthat was done to the engine and it would be a fun torquey ride i na sweet chassy

That's sweet, but it cost too much.

He put bushings in the bottom end instead of bearings? Is that a smart thing to do? Doesn't seem like it its.

And a spiral cut head? Is that a gimmick (or does it really work?) to increase the swirling in the cylinder?

im thinking he ment he put the bushings around the bearings since in the zilla i thought that the crank bearings spin and ruin the case that they are pressed into. from what it heard its a common fix to put the inserts in it.

The reason alot of people do not put bike engines in quads is becasue of vibration issues. YOu would be vibrating that quad apart with an unbalanced 500cc 2 stroke

OK that makes sense. His eBay description just confused me.

yea about the vibration thing, i understand that and iv heard about that, but well i guess you would just have to try to live with it or get rubber on your mounts to take away alot of the vibration, least thats what id try, iv been thinking about doing that on my tecate cuz if i remember correctly the 84-85 tecate doesnt have a counterballancer.
