I was looking for valve stem seals last night and seen the GX160 head complete for freaking $29. I ordered it up. I'm wondering if the stems are 5mm or 5.5 because the 5.5 ones are more available. Guess I'll be polishing another intake now 😉
Mini bikes have been my hobby the last several years and I'm still technically learning. what exactly does putting a 160 head do for the engine? Is it more compression somehow or I figured smaller head would mean less airflow
The combustion chamber is smaller on a GX160 head compared to a standard Predator head. It Adds compression. I don't think the ports flow as well as a standard predator head but you can make up the difference with some port work.
For some reason it seems like youre getting less rpm than i am with my 212 and i have less engine work and smaller sprocket. Yours runs great but seems like it should rev higher.. i watched your cam install video just before this one. Appreciate u sharing your findings with us tho. Thanks alot
It runs better in this video. Check out the Minibike playlist for more combos on this bike. Thanks for watching! ruclips.net/video/8wVMdDTutPQ/видео.html
Yes, with a .045 head gasket the compression is around 10.50:1 ,with a .045 head gasket the compression ratio is around 12.6:1. I use 87-91 octane with this set up without issue . Check out the playlist on the channel for many more 14cc head videos. ruclips.net/video/9Tk-t17M-ww/видео.html
I like the GX 160 Honda, a Great engine. It's actually a 6.5 Predator 212 with a GX160 head. It's a nice compression bump with the 14cc combustion chamber.
Thanks! No, I haven't figured that out yet. It's has a 14cc chamber so it has to be around 11.0 :1 - 11.5 :1 or somewhere in there. You can definitely feel it when you pull start it.
I have multiple videos coming out where I change gear ratios on this bike in all different kinds of ways. All this stuff for me is really just for fun and testing purposes. So sometimes I might have too much gear or too little gear, it's always changing.
Very fast bike, could you make a bike that could go back through time like in the back to the future movie, I want to go back to the 1970s. PLEASE!!!~!!!!
Can you go back to 1965 and stop the Immigration and Nationality Act (Hart-Celler Act) of 1965 from becoming reality? That was the law that opened America's borders up and allowed America to never look nor feel the same way again. After that crime shot through the roof.
Why not use both lash caps? I'm new and learning thats why I'm asking. I never saw any Predator 212 videos with just one lash cap. Should come with two right?
I'm using the 5.260 length pushrods right now with a 0.012 head gasket. There was no milling to the block or head when I made this video. I did use the stock length 5.200 pushrod with this combo for a while but the rocker angle looked better with the longer pushrod.
Would the honda gx160 head be an upgrade on a tilly 212e hemi with a 265 banzai cam or not worth the effort?

smoking deal! That head is sweet!!! It makes it sooo snappy
@@Black66 I didn't realize you had done this. I keep up with you, but guess I missed this one. Unforgivable!
@@tashatorrid Yes it is! Some things are forgivable and some are not.
@@Black66 strongly agree 😁

Did you calculate the compression ratio with this combination?What fuel did you run it on?Thanks.

Is that gx 160 a 5.0 mine is a honda stock engine it runs close to 40 mph nice bike you got
I like the GX 160 Honda, a Great engine. It's actually a 6.5 Predator 212 with a GX160 head. It's a nice compression bump with the 14cc combustion chamber.
I wonder if i can just run the pushrods and rockers off a stock gx 160 with the gx 160 head on my predator 212
Engine sounds great. Have you figured out what the compression ratio is?
Thanks! No, I haven't figured that out yet. It's has a 14cc chamber so it has to be around 11.0 :1 - 11.5 :1 or somewhere in there. You can definitely feel it when you pull start it.
Can I put a Gx200 on a hemi block
Is it safe to install mikuni carb on a stock 212 pred.
Yes just make sure you re jet it correctly and by a new exhaust and you will be fine
Yes.,that is a good upgrade .
I have 18lbs springs going on mine do you think that will be fine with the same set up you have?
Ya, I'm thinking it would be ok.
@@Black66 thanks 😊
what size difference between Coleman cc100x and mb80-105 is frame a little bigger?
They are really similar in size.
U need a smaller back sprocket so u can get that top in speed cuz u can hear the motor over riding you gear.get a 65 tooth sprocket

Yes, if I can find the right parts, like a flux capacitor I will start on the build. Let's get out of here!
@@Black66 Yes please find a flux capacitor soon. Volcanoes are erupting everywhere right now, Time to leave
@@johnk6346 We are going to need an engine with more power than a Predator 212.
I'm getting closer to 88 miles per hour. We need to reach this speed for the time machine to work.

Put a BMX fork and wheel on the front of that thing and drop the square front tire. Massive improvement in handling and you can have more brakes too.
Check out my other videos on this bike . I had it to 70 lol with crazy handling . It not to bad when you get over 50 . The wind must stabilize it .
Did you use lash caps on both intake and exhaust I only have one lash cap on my engine
I only ended up using a lash cap on the exhaust side.
Why not use both lash caps? I'm new and learning thats why I'm asking. I never saw any Predator 212 videos with just one lash cap. Should come with two right?
@@ChristopherJones16 It depends on the head. I'm running a GX160 Honda-style head on the 212. It came with one lash cap.
nice bike
Do you do port and polish work if I send you a head?
Should get a flat top piston too
Oh for sure! I want to do another build.
What size cam?
It has a 265 lift cam.
Sweet!
Doesn't this head have smaller valves then the predator?
It has the same size valves as a standard predator 212 25mm/24mm. The Hemi Predator has bigger valves.
Where do you get the smaller sprokeys for the wheel?

Supposed to say sprockets was half asleep when I commented on this.
Top speed??
I have quite a few videos running top speed with the GX 160 head .
What app for your 0-30?
If you want the free phone app, its DigiHUD . I also use a GPS device called Dragy GPS . You can buy that one on Amazon.
Not sure who couod hear the play in the values ?
The back rim what size is
The front and the back are 5 inch rims
what length push rods?
please let me know boss
