Any opinions on the wildcat ultra mineralli?

[Mr. Herron]

When I do purchase the ph85 from bicycle engines should I call or do it online? I will be mentioning your name as well

Use what is in the kit for now...Keep everything STOCK as I have previously mentioned...lol.

Not too sure about my elevation

You are at an approximately 1300 ft elevation above sea level where you are at in Morristown, TN

When I ordered mine I did it on the website. Next time I'll call in

Probably the right choice with the P85
The Minarelli you pic'd most likely has this type top end kit....$40
The one pic'd is a horizontal. We use vertical kits but its essentially the same quality.

The engines sold by California motorbikes are Wildcat aka Runwell engines. Runwell is the factory in China that makes the real PK80 engines. They use better quality parts than most kits. Better Japanese bearings, balanced cranks with wider weights. They aren't cheapo junk. A little google searching and you can find the factory website. I've looked at it before and they make a few different variations of bicycle engines. That minarelli is one of them. It comes straight from the factory like that.

It's the xingtai runwell gasoline engine factory. They sell in bulk on alibaba

Apparently, before buying the Wildcat Minarelli, you have to find out if
the engine has matched aluminum or match iron piston and jug. If one
is aluminum and the other is iron, the engine will be prone to seizing, due
to the difference in the expansion rates under high heat.

 

[Wrench]

you can use aluminum pistons with cast iron cylinders
Basic engine building, Make sure the PTCSWC tolerances are correct ,
PTCSWC (piston to cylinder side wall clearance) allows for thermal expansion

If the PTCSWC is too tight, yeah, your gonna get a soft seize
