What head gasket and how far in the hole? Visual inspection done internally?
Could be ive never had the cc test done before that point so im not sure how the cc test is supposed to be doneI would have to say the cc check was done incorrectly, a 14cc head .010 gasket generally should not pass. The 14cc head was never a stock item on a clone 196cc so it appears the person(s) doing the visual check did not know what to look for.
"Just a heads up you can purchase 14cc heads off ebay for $19 shipped to your door. "honda 5.5 head" off provenpart. "
Just looked and couldnt find this. Gotta link?
Will it accept the GX200 valves, or do you have to grind seats?
I could see it passing as long you put enough head gasket there to make up for the lost ccs...
The 14cc head was manufactured for the early GX160 when Honda started to attempt to meet emission rules and the GX160K1 became available the 14cc head was never seen again from them. The clone manufacturers started copying the GX160 when the 14cc head was available, it did not ever appear on the GX200 Honda and when they copied it, they did not use it. The racers and builders discovered it out there and guess what, it became what many thought a stock part.
Wrong!!! There are no engines coming over from china that are AKRA legal with a 14cc head. A tech man with any knowledge of appearance will catch it.
