I dont only mod older gx engines, in fact i havent modified a Go based engine since 2008. pretty much since the MG came out. Most people tend to think i only modify go engines but thats very far from the truth.

I have, before hearing about go engine modified well over 300 engines of all brands. And now thats all i do is mainly other brands, i repair go engines and service them just like any other brand.

So ive neve been exclusive to go interms of being a modder.

As for the new GX II HOE , it has some good points and some average ones. Things i wouldnt have done but its not my engine, i only really helped with the head design and some minor internal changes as suggestions. The rest of its timing and sleeve design was inspired by nova based engines as a guess.

The 3 needle carb imo as an addition was decided by someone that dosent have much idea of their customer base. I cant see the point in adding an extra needle that not many if anybody has a clue how it works. I mean i do, thats because its my job to know and in knowing this there is no point to it. It has nothing tomdo with mid range tansition. Which is the common thing people think its designed to do.

The problem with the msn is it adjusts the low speed setting, idle and hsn setting all at the same time. Now can anybody tell me why you would want to do that? changing one perametwr at a time on a carb is all anybody needs and is still confusing, let alone three things at the same time.

We all know when you change the set up of your suspension for eg, you do one thing, one ajustment, then go out and see what diference it made. If you ajust three things then go out and drive you wont be able to tell which onemit was that made a difference, this will confuse your over all knowledge ofmyour set up.

As far as my relationship with Go, i love everybody at go and naga with all my heart, they are my brothers, even whey they are stubborn :-) we still work together and they supply me with parts for my custom engines but i do not develop for them anymore. So we still have a working relationship and its a good one:-)

I only really do minor mods to my MG or Zilla engines for specific purposes, they are really all you need as stock but as it goes people love things being modified and so i squeeze or change it to their needs. Lately they have been seeling very well and im very happy with the engines. I have changed internals to locally made parts i thought could be improved on.

Sorry getting carried away.

Hope this helps :-)
