18lb up rated valve springs to fit (Lifan 212cc engine) |
|

|
I am looking to up rated the valve springs for my Lifan 212cc |
|
engine. Now I don�t know if this engine (Lifan 212cc) is the |
|
same spec as other cloned Honda GX200 but what I have read to |
|
date recommends that one DOES NOT use Honda uprated valve |
|
springs as they are oversized for the cloned engines. |
|
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to:- |
|
1) what springs to use and |
|
2) where to source them. |
|
Scotty |

Scotty, try GX tuning for valve springs. Is your 212 a hemi |
|
head? I don't think the springs are the same as the standard |
|
head and hemi tuning stuff is difficult to get in the uk. |

I have this Lifan engine in the three wheeler Scotty... |
|
https://westbankwholesale.com/product/6-5hp-lifan-petrol-engine-replaces-honda-… |
|
I upgraded the springs with these... |
|
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/323822196039 |
|
Which were originally listed as GX140/160/200 18Lb valve springs |
|
The Valves on my Lifan are retained by collets, not the pressed |
|
steel retainer you find in most engines and were a pig to change |
|
without losing the tiny retainers. |
|
Might be worth a punt for �6 |

Thanks to Jim & Jim R for the information, I will approach both. |
|
As you know gents one can never have enough �bits� or �options� |
|
to hand for that �just in case� or �I did put it down somewhere� |
|
moment, especially now that Jim R tells me the springs are held |
|
in with collets. |
|

Hi Scotty, try GX Tuning. They sell modified Lifan engines, so |
|
can advise whether their 18lbs" springs fit OK. |

Ian, thank you very much for the information. As I have said to |
|
Jim and Jim R, I think I will go with every option going as one |
|
can never have enough spares or options. |
