[QUOTE="Dkid, post: 192217, member: 10331"] A little back story to get started. This is the 5th CT70 I've owned. Second that I will be rebuilding the engine. The first was a 88cc that you guys helped me get through the first time, about 5 years ago. Had some money issues come up and I had to sell them all. During the time my friend bought a CT70 as well, and at some point ran it with out oil and it seized up. I remember opening it up and everything looking decent and was able to free it back up. Never ran again due to low compression and it sat in my back yard rusting for the next 4 years. Fast forward to now, I bought it off of him. I've got all the paperwork straightened out, it's tilted, registered and insured. I've gone through it and bought new harness, tires, tubes, rubber gaskets, seat cover, shocks , exhaust and cleaned and painted the wheels. Just need bulbs and it will be 100% except the motor. It has the rough look that I'm going for and I'm really happy where it's at. Originally planned on putting a piranha 140 in it, but have since scrapped that and plan on putting that in a TRX70. The 88cc kit I did on my original bike was a challenge at the time, but looking back it was pretty easy to do. This time around I got the 117cc stroker kit and I'm ready to throw it in. figured I'd ask some questions and get the final shopping done with some of your advice before I get it open so I can do it in one go. 1. I've read in some other post that a oil cooler is a must, is that true? People say the same about the piranha 140's but I've never had issues with out it. 2. My plan with the clutch was to keep the auto 3 speed and just do a heavy duty kit to the clutch, but I've read in other threads about a billet basket and I have not been able to find something like that. As far as the trans goes, I also have a 74 ATC 70 and 87 TRX 70 that I could pull from. Do those have the same trans, better options, or non compatible? TIA, I figure I will have a bunch of questions and might as well start a thread. [/QUOTE]
