Thanks to everyone who sat through the whole video, I know it was a long one but there are some tidbits of the trade in there and some clues as to what to watch out for in your own builds
Great stuff Frosty! I'm loving that MoFlow head! Thanks for showing the detail of the head. First look I've had at one other than what you see in the online pics. Great choices on parts IMO. That EC side cover was my choice too. You gotta love that bearing for the cam and the extra oil sump. I'm linking to this video more guys need to see this build!
Thank You very much! I’ll post some more on it once the valve cover shows up. Planning to do a 3” build and another 224 including the case grinding and all the fitting soon.
Great video!!! I love all the reviews of each product. I am actually the manufacturer of the moflow and I can add that the valves have been moved around but retain stock spacing and rocker stand width so any misalignment is from the rockers. There has been a few improvements to the heads sense your version. Now with longer valves and more installed height. Which allows longer guides for better control. I do see some exhaust seat angle change in the near future. I appreciate your video! Keep up the good work!
@@peterchristlieb no I didn’t feel like you were blaming the head I was just trying to to clarify for you or other viewers that while everything is moved it’s still stock geometry for the rockers and valve spacing.
@@markkonschak6288 i need help modifying a billet head. Simple changes like offset guides and bigger seats. I know you can definitely help me as you designed this entire head and other things 🤣
@@aaron7520 hey Arron, I appreciate your confidence in me. Unfortunately I don’t have time to do 1 off parts. I’m focusing on improving and designing new parts. I am making some changes to accommodate larger valves in a moflow. Message me on Facebook or Instagram and we can talk some more.
Yeah, love the content there Ice ! Been noticing for years how everyone is building a gx240 in a 200 block. Kool stuff,so what can I make out of my rebuilt Honda gx 240(242cm3)?? No hours on the build and runs good with my epoxy port,you know hollow out and backfill where necessary,,,,
What’s taking up all the end-thrust clearance? The cam or the crank ? I’ve had cams that were a bit long..... the side cover wouldn’t sit on the case. I check the clearance with just the crank installed and adjust the shims, then pull it out and check end play on the cam with just it installed. I had to take some material off the thrust side in the case for the cam once.
Honestly, I had close to zero end play with no washers on the crank. The cam fit with no issues but I’m about to pull that side cover and change a couple of things. I have a feeling the end clearance grew.
@Frosty The Iceman 79 307 cam. Could I just replace the stock crankshaft with the 58mm wildcat crank or would it be smarter to just buy the EC 236 stroker kit?
@@peterchristlieb Either that or you have to grind the crank counter weight to clear it. I managed to make that work. Then polished the heck out of the rod side to try and balance it back again.

Mark, I hope you didn’t think I was blaming the head, I’ll go back and edit if that’s what it sounds like.

I know some of the kart guys use the GX270. Is the 240 a small bore or short stroke or both?

same thing here , use the factory bolts. EC carb bolts were to long.
You don't have that problem with the ARC side cover.
No you certainly do not.
Does that stroker kit fit a Tillotson 225?
I’m sure it does, with a 225, all you need to go 236 is the crank and rod
@@peterchristlieb do you think it will require any clearancing in the 225 tillotson ?
@@blakestonebustosrb If the 225 uses the race block, it should clear no problem. Depends on how big a cam you use also
@Frosty The Iceman 79 307 cam. Could I just replace the stock crankshaft with the 58mm wildcat crank or would it be smarter to just buy the EC 236 stroker kit?
@@blakestonebustosrb I’m pretty sure the rod length is different so you need the EC Rod. Should work great
Hopefully you've removed the comp release from the cam. It'll hit the crank counterweight and detonate eventually.
I saw a video yesterday about that, looked like it took out the whole lower end. Problem is I need a Starter…
@@peterchristlieb Either that or you have to grind the crank counter weight to clear it. I managed to make that work. Then polished the heck out of the rod side to try and balance it back again.
Set how much 7.5hp
Shooting for 25
Are you asking how much the head costs?
Video looks cool but can't get past his alarm going off in the background.
Sorry man, that’s the telephone.
