Has anyone built a powerhead from a Box Stock build. It says it comes with a heat-treated cast connecting rod. It's the same as an LO206, a heat treated cast rod. Does anyone have any experience with this rod or would it be better to go with a ARC billet rod?

Willie, i havnt seen any builds for the little motor except for your last motor that died. Most of these guys are running bigger motors.

Thx, Will. I noticed. Even on the Old Mini Bike Forums not many seem to have built from a true Box Stock Engine. Everyone start with a Harbor Freight and goes from their. The crank case was the weakest component in my HB build.
