I think it's the other way around. He uses a toyota piston and now has custom made rods. I'm not real sure what kind of rpm he gets out of it, but it's alot more than a stock one can stand. He's broke a few cranks though. You still can't turn em like a v twin.

Well I was close.... But he sure can turn em up pretty good.

I also grind the cams & I'm working on a billett rod now.I'm in the process now of providing parts that no one else is making. :hmmm:
I just spoke to Tom at ARC & I decided not to put my opposed rods on the market since they were working on them also,but like I said I got lots mow parts coming in the very near future. :twothumbsup:

Thanks alot guys. I got Don's vid and watched it a couple times now, just wondering if there where more parts avlible than i had found, but now i see there is not. Thanks for all the answers. I am supper happy with my 42 and it is all stock right now, with gov removed. I can't wait to get this thing built up over winter using all the great info on Don's vid and some new parts.

Just my two cents, but at the very least you should flip the rods so the oil holes both face the slinger or you may be looking for a new crank when you rebuild the motor this winter.  I can speak from experience on that one.  As long as you are opening it up you may as well shoot some holes in the rod caps.

Hitch, what kind of parts are you working on?  You wouldnt be working on an ignition kit would you?  I am totally interested if you are.  These stock coils do not like heat at all!!!

I am hoping to make it threw this year without breaking the motor open as it has never set and was turned directly from mower to racer and it runs great. I do not rev it hard as there is no need on the track i run. I came in first in CP by half a lap so i can take it easy. Then when the rebuild starts it will be a full on build. But i do appreshiate the warning and help.

Man, you had to crack it open to remove the govenor, and if you just disconnected the govonor on the outside you better pray that motor holds together....  You must not be running with any built OHV's because when it comes to racing they tend to hand you your rear end on a platter if you are running a stock opposed, at least in my club they do!!!!!  Its your motor, and you are payind for it, so you do what you want.  I am just trying to save you some money in the long run, thats all!  I am not trying to be pushy or anything, I am honestly just trying to save you from the same costly mistakes I have made.

No i understand and thanks for the warning. My track just started and there are only 3 mowers in CP right now. It is going to grow and we will get faster mowers but we just want to get mowers out there and get people racing this season and get the crowd into it. Next year will be all out. And yes i just removed the outside govener parts and did not tear it apart. Like i said we are just trying to get mowers out there right now. If it blows then i have a 12.5 ohv i can throw in for the rest of this year.
