New Motors from micks motors
hey guys,
Just wondering what these motors are like and if anyone has bought one or is currently driving around with one.
Please pass me on your honest opinions about them, but if it is a bad one send it via U2U as we don't want any bad publicity for a sponsor.
Is there any differences in quality between brazilian and mexican?
Do they run on unleaded?
I am not after a performance motor, just a daily driver to get me to work, club meetings and the occasional show.
cheers Lee.

brazilian and mexican?
Thsi means they can come from either country depending upon the batch.
They run unleaded and have different heads and barrels to most you see around. By different I mean there slight design chnages to help them run
better.
The 1500 army motors where designed to be static and some come with a static style cams so be careful with them as they are designed to run at
constant revs for long hours.

The only down side i can think of is that they have cast cranks instead of forged.
Is that bad????........ well forged is better but for a stock motor cast is more than adequate.
Maybe give VVDS a call.
I think he "use" to sell them.
