10 bolt clone blocks.
I was under the apparently the wrong impression that the only 2 sources of 10 bolt blocks were the VC unit and the very heavily ribbed unit Paulscarts sells on E bay. In Paul's case I e mailed him if the VC or ARC front covers fit his block. His answer was yes. He also said he has both 90 and 92 mm bore versions. Could these be the blocks for Duromax engines ? IF SO these engines could be a starting point for building up clones IF Vegascarts no longer imports the parts to build the DIY VC 460.

Re: 10 bolt clone blocks.
Thanks for the info. I’m currently gathering parts for a swap and $316 delivered for the pull start 18hp Duromax is tempting. I’m going to leave the governor and retain pedal start.

Re: 10 bolt clone blocks.
Maybe Bikermikie and Blackdeath will jump in here educate up on the Duromax engines. I was always under the impression that they were a lower quality clone.

Re: 10 bolt clone blocks.
The reviews are great on Amazon and totally suck for the predator which was weird. I saw a tier list a while back and lifan was over Duromax and Predator. Maybe the Duromax is being produced better now.

Re: 10 bolt clone blocks.
Only thing that’s holding me up on the Duromax is I can’t use the isolator spacer for the pulse to the fuel pump.

Re: 10 bolt clone blocks.
Somewhere on here someone figured out how to remedy that situation.

Re: 10 bolt clone blocks.
Nobody hopes anymore than I do that they will continue to supply VC 460 engines. Someone else posted here that they were not going to continue supply them. Maybe Geoff will pipe in here.

I wanted the 460 for a while but with my kids riding I’m leaning toward a governed 420 or 440. Just don’t know what the best option is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
