What does long block mean,

 

[fastlane]

Completely built you add your stock accessories. pull start, clutch housing, ignition coil, carb and intake, flywheel and shroud

Yes i know how to build the engine come on now, im asking whats the diff between the long blocks compared to the stock cy engines is the case longer or is the stroke longer ect

 

[Sprint 77]

No it is just a delivery term of how much of the engine you are buying as Fastlane said nothing more nothing less.


He did answer your question now.

 

[fastlane]

I am sorry man. Take everything off of your engine. Leave the head and crank together. That my friend is a long block.

 

[laganm21]

Ok my bad that is a dumb term to use i was hoping for a longer case

 

[fastlane]

That engine is worth every penny. I just bought one and it's a bad mo fo

Then a Victory pro unsilenced side pipe to go with it for the Baja.

Ok so whats the deal with Zen mototrs compared to a CY motor is it just like the Ford vs Chevy debate are does the Zen actually a better motor

CY are OK but they are a copy of the Zenoah .


So yes Zenoah do all the research and have engineers who know 2 stroke small displacement engines. The quality , performance , and reliability is far better on the Zenoah brand.


Drawback to them is they are bit more pricey to buy and get parts for.


I play around with a CY and race with a Zenoah 4 bolt.

agree 100%,japan quality vs taiwan clone,i have seen at least 5 cy´s breaking with about 2-3h running,the problem was with very bad cylinder coating that seems to be fixed now and i quess that recently produced cy`s are better.so the answer is-zenoah is better but cy will also "do the thing".
