After reading some of the post on the sikk 25 engine and a few of the problems it had............... I was wondering if they had been solved........And if not which ones remain............Also how much faster is a stock sikk than a stock zenoah.

OLD_SLOW and in the WAY

there were three problems with the new Sikk engine to start with ... the exhaust port was made too wide ..... fixed now. the cylinder plating was cheezy...... fixed now, and i would recomend replacing the stock cylinder base gasket with an .005" copper, the gasket they ship with the engine tends to blow out then the cylinder will rock on the bolts and might break the bolt lug off the jug. the stock sikk marine engine comes somewhat modded and is a bit faster than a stock 260

Thanks........I already orderd one of these engines to try....... It will give me something to use if I send my stock zen to be modded........should be here in the next day or two.....I see where you can also use tyvek or regular car gasket paper to fix it.................. I will try that first cause I don't have to order it..............If it don't work I will order the copper.

a good source of tyvex for gaskets is the large white priority mail envelope

How tight should the two bolts be tighten.............don't want to over tighten........Is torque wrench need.[]

OLD_SLOW and in the WAY

with a "T" handle allen wrench snug up both bolts evenly then give it a handful of a twist, dont ham fist it.... just good and snug

Just come back from the water.............Razor 45 and stock zenoah was clocked at 48.5mph.....................How much faster you think the sikk will be.[8D]
