Lee those engines are drop in in 200x.

Did it.

The metal quality isn't quite at the level of the original jap metal, but brand new is better than 20 years old.

Boost in compression, and most if not all parts interchange.

goat there are quite a few china engies that will drop into a 200x.another one is the liquid cooled loncin 200.what i think is that they are all the same engine but with the case cover made just a hair different.

A threa I think I started... And it doesn't say anything about junk. You air cooled lifan is the best bet
