I'm beginning to think this motor is a junk pile abortion.
Pirate Cycle intake bolts too long, had to cut them about 3/16ths shorter.
SBP head studs don't fit, lower part of stock stud fine threads, upper part coarse. Undersized by enough that the SBP stud will not thread in more that 1 turn. Fixed by thread tap to the correct size.
Jug to case gasket is different that transfer port opening. It seals but just barely.
After taking the clutch cover off to install SBP dampener material there seemed to be a *lot* of black rubbery inside the cover so on the needed parts list I have goes new clutch pads and a puller.
Next motor I get will probably be a Grubee. They seem to care what is done to their branded stuff better than anyone else, to the point of traveling to China to see the factory. Maybe he impressed the Chinese by going to see for himself instead of buying a shipping container full of whatever
