Special porting and polishing? Obviously that thing breathes exceedingly well. Stock heads that have been ported and polished. Need to save up for some aftermarket heads, gotta save my pennies. The cam is a Zack Kerber roller cam. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tomato 31 #28 Posted January 28 (edited) Really need to add the stock rocker stud pedestal has been milled off and heads now have 3/8 rocker studs. Also has roller rockers and good valve springs. Engine also has a Midwest Super Cub intake and a 1.2 gas carb. This has been an 8 year project increasing hp a little every year. The rockers in the pic was before the roller rockers were installed. Edited January 28 by Tomato Rocker arms have been changed 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've studied the silly stuff about engines that most people don't really get into, for several decades. Love seeing one that's really built RIGHT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Love seeing one that's really built RIGHT. I'd better give the credit to my engine builder, I didn't build the engine. Jeremy Hogan at Hogan Service Center in Nevada Missouri built the engine and dynoed it for me. He has built alot of engines in the 4 state area here. Great guy ! I've done most of the fabrication on the tractor myself. I'm thinking about increasing the stock wheelbase 2 inches. I don't want to get carried away and make it look like some kind of Frankenstein thing. Kinda want it to look like it's just been rubbed on some. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
