Title: SAMMY ENGINE REBUILD
Post by: BIKEBOY636 on March 06, 2011, 10:16:13 PM

I AM GOING TO REBUILD MY STOCK 1.3 AND PUT HI-COMP PISTONS IN IT BUT WHO IS THE BEST COMPANY TO GO WITH RIGHT NOW? I ALREADY KNOW ALL ABOUT THE ENGINE SWAPS BUT I JUST WANT TO KEEP THE 1.3 FOR RIGHT NOW. ALSO WHAT ARE SOME OTHER DECENT POWER ADDERS TO THE MOTOR? HERE IS A PIC OF MY SAMMY AFTER I JUST GOT DONE WITH MY CUSTOM FAB MISSING LINK KIT ON THE FRONT. THE TIRES THAT ARE ON IT NOW ARE 32" AT'S BUT I AM THINKING OF GOING TO 34" OR EVEN 35" THATS WHY I NEED TO REPLACE MY WORN OUT ENGINE SOON.

I would make the lower link a bit smaller, you shouldn't need it quite that high and it could make your steering a bit squirly unless you have raised the lower link as well to match.

If this is going to be a daily driver you might want to look at putting a piece of polyurethane or rubber above the upper link, mine tend to make a chattering noise when driving down the road.  You will also need a way of stopping the shackles from folding over backwards on extension.  The easiest way to do this is to add a piece of flat stock on the top of the lower link, set just far enough down that it can only fold to about a 160 degree angle instead of a full 180.
