1600 into oval
Hey all
Just wondering, will a stock 1600 (SP or TP) fit into the engine bay of an oval? I'm currently running a 1200 40HP and the rocker cover spring on 1
and 2 is really close to the body work already. From what I know, a 40HP engine's strokeis 64 or 65mm whereas a 1600 is 69mm.. so a 1600 engine would
be wider yeh?
Thanks
...and Robert's ya father's brother...

Yep 1200 is a 64mm crank. 1600 is slightly wider. You will probably have more problems with tinware fitting in engine bay than the rocker cover
clearance.

Chris
you have to cut a bit of the heater box away on the top to allow the engine o fit also remove some of the inner guard lower rib to allow the
rocker clip to fit
bit of trial n error and cutting
what gearbox do you have as you may need torelieve the 4 high spots to allow the flywheel to fit into the housing

tinware shouldn't be too much of a problem. I'm handy with a pair of tinsnips and a big phuq-off hammer
