Lifan factory quality gaffe.....

Hi guys new to the forum... just wanted to see if anyone else has run across a valve seal issue with their new lifan 15hp. I'm repowering my Marathon cart and when I was changing out the head, valves and Springs I noticed that my intake was missing the seal and spring seat. Not a big deal to me as I was upgrading my head and components anyways, but if someone didn't intend on upgrading there would have been issues.....

Just wanted to put it out there so if anyone had a smoking issue outta the gate.

I've enjoyed the forum and have been reading and taking tips where I can get them. Lots of knowledge here...

Only one valve had the seat, the seal, the button on the valve and its retainer, that is the way they come. I bought them from Vegas or NR to put on both, but I did not put the seal in iirc its only on the intake because the exhaust burns it or something like that I forget. It works fine with 1.3 rockers and HD springs, no oil usage. This is a lifan from home depot online, but with the old ignition. Ran it tonight actually. You can get that stuff cheap or free because everyone tosses them for upgrades.

Thanks for the input..... I may pull the exhaust valve spring back off and reassemble as stock...
