Looking to get more power out of your mini bike or go kart engine? This premium 70mm flat top piston kit is engineered specifically for Predator 212cc, 224cc, GX160, and GX200 engines, delivering noticeable improvements in both horsepower and torque while maintaining reliable performance.
The flat top piston design is carefully crafted to increase compression ratios, which directly translates to more power output when you need it most. Unlike standard pistons, this 70mm diameter option (not the smaller 68mm) provides optimal displacement for your 5.5HP or 6.5HP engine. The compression height of 0.550 ensures perfect alignment with your engine's specifications, eliminating guesswork during installation.
This kit includes everything you need for a complete engine upgrade. The piston rings are constructed from high-toughness materials that offer excellent corrosion resistance and durability. They perform four critical functions: sealing gas at the piston top, conducting heat away from combustion, maintaining proper lubrication, and scraping excess oil from cylinder walls. The 26lb valve springs ensure precise valve control, preventing dangerous bouncing that can break seals and cause engine damage during high-vibration operation.
Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance. Remember that piston ring openings must be staggered—they cannot align in a straight line. Start assembling from the bottom groove and work upward in sequence to ensure proper sealing. This attention to detail prevents compression leaks and ensures your engine runs smoothly under load.
Whether you're racing mini bikes, building go karts, or upgrading your lawn equipment, this piston kit delivers the performance boost you're looking for. The improved compression and reliable valve operation translate to better acceleration, higher top speeds, and more consistent power delivery. Engineered to withstand the demands of high-performance applications, this kit is the smart choice for anyone serious about getting the most from their small gas engine.
