Hey Sportscarpat
Thanks for the reply. (sometimes i wonder if i dont get too deep into it.)
My wife says i have OCD "Obsessive Compulsive Disorder"
I got the PK80-J limited edition Slant head for a few reasons.
The 48cc grubee GT-2B barley fit in my bike.
So i knew if i wanted a 80 it would have to be a slant.
Needing a slant narrowed down what i could buy.
Then one day wile searching I see Pirate Cycles was getting a shipment of the 4th Quarter Grubee GT-5
A slant with the new carb and wider mounts and some other nice features.
When i saw that i E-mailed Justin to get one.
Unfortunatly when his shipment came in it wasn't what he expected.
Which is why i was considering the PK.
That i new nothing about.
It was easily available to me.
Justin at Pirate Cycles answered all my calls and e-mails promptly plus i'm on the east coast and took only 2 buisness days to get it via regular UPS.
So i took my chances just to see what i'd get.
I wanted the wider mount.
I wanted a Slant Head.
The price was very good.
I planned on tearing it down so i wasn't really worried about anything else.
All I know about the Grubee is what the Grubee ad said.
Sounds like a good motor.
I do know that it has caged rollers on the top and bottom end.
I was happy when i dissassembled the PK80-J for many reasons i've allready mentioned.
Especially the Crowded Roller Needle Bearing on the Bottom End.
There is a post out there that i cant find know that explained which bearings were the right ones.
I remember the needle count was much higher and wondered how they got so many needles in the cage.
Now i know.
There not in a cage thats how.
I like to run my motors up to 8000 rpm so thoose needle bearings are important to me.
I orderd 2 (Sthil 028 chainsaw) 10X14X13 needle bearings to replace my piston pin bearings.
The porting on the PK is huge.
And the Angle of them looks great.
Initially i will only be smoothing and polishing the ports slightly.
I don't think they will need much.
As far as what is more powerful i really can't say.
But this PK has all of the things you would find in a performance motor.
The rest is up to it's owner.
