Complete tear down of the WildCat 223cc engine

The Gray Goat completely disassembled the WildCat 223cc engine preparing to make some Pow’Ah! The WildCat 223 has a 70mm bore and a 58mm stroke. We will be adding billet parts, milling the head, installing a bigger cam in search of some real “stroker” power!

will this block take an overbore to 72mm?

Loving your content! Very informative. On the stock WC 223 you are tearing down, do you think those whimpy 10.8 lb valve springs and the cast steel flywheel can manage 5k rpm on peaks? I think i would worry more about valve float with those springs vs the sturdiness of the stock flywheel. Am i way off?

I know I’m a bit late on this video but could you tell me is the cylinder bore Nikasil ? I Couldn’t see a liner in the video and do these come in a non hemi head? Glad your Chanel found me I just Subscribed.

With that different round exhaust port, can you still use the standard (GX200) headers with the flat side design, if so do you need a different kind of gasket?

Still come to your vid for WC 223 references. What valve lash gaps are yiu using on a wildcat? .005 on both intake and exhaust?

[TheShangralaaaa]

would you say this is a better option instead of the 212? seeing as it has slight improvements over the 212 predators

Are you going to notch the piston for valve clearance? I have a 18 cc Tillotson hemi ad I had to cut .025 valve reliefs my piston sat at almost flush TDC and I only have .018 clearance
