Here I am looking at my shop floor. What I see is a 1700 type IV engine and a stock dual port type 3 engine. The type 3 engine is garbage due to a cracked case and the type 4 would need new rings, etc. I've been wanting to go the type 4 route for ages, but the more I look at it, I would much rather retain the stock engine due to numerous problems with carbs, clutch/flywheel. I need advice on how to build as bulletproof a type 3 engine as possible. It will be of stock displacement with no "hop-ups" but I need it to last a good long time and be able to travel on long trips (1-2000 miles) worry-free. I've already contemplated the ideas of full-flow and counterweighted cranks, but if any of you have any advice on case, p/c's, heads etc. I'd be very grateful.
Thanks
Marc
