Gx200 clone fire up and Predator 212 hemi issues

It’s an engine, not a motor!

How do u add advance timing

Good luck fellas

Love my 196! Kind of close to what you did but I used a CS grind cam and a PVL flywheel with another 8 degrees. I stuck 22# springs and a PVL flywheel with 4 degrees of timing with valves lashed at .003 on a Predator 212 non hemi. It did not end well. It forced excess exhaust through the intake and misfired so hard it sheered the flywheel key, wobbled, warped the starter cup and deuced the shaft threads! Timing lesson learned. Also, when I do build one of these from the inside out I will be replacing those pesky spring retainers (ugh, yuck and ouch!).

it's always a great day at the jantic journal 😀

hemi heads suck. fix valve clearance issue by installing an ARC 27-25 valve clone head.

Big boy needs a big block

Where did you get that intake for the hemi?

Why did you go with the +.10 rod and not +.20?

Is there a draft in here?

wouldn't milling the piston lower your compression

just toss on a second head gasket
