Let's Talk Predator 224cc Max Performance (Teardown and Comparison to the Predator 212cc) 

I pushed the like , you did a better job showing the differences than all the other 224 vids I've watched so far.

Great video man!! New sub. I got my 224 couple week ago when they came out and it’s still in the box. I’m waiting to see what parts to use to build it up. Good info brother

Just picked up a 224 thanks for the video

Thanks for the information 👍

Nice! I’ve been wanting to get one of those to try it out 🤙🏼

Will the gx200 head fit? Or the billet side cover or billet flywheel??? Thanks Der Guy.

I just added one to my son's kart. Nice torque. I had a performance stage 2 kit on 196, but these studs may be 1/16th wider so I'll make adjustments to adapt them soon.

Which motor would be better for a garden tiller?? Maybe the 224 because it has more torque??

Great information! We do go kart racing in PA and now I’m wondering if there gonna eventually switch to these motors. Some tracks up here are actually switching to the Ducar 212 offered by Dyno Cams and are not allowing the Predator 212 anymore. I wonder if there gonna stop making the Predator 212 all together and just sell the 224? 🤔

What size charging flywheel and coils dose it take

Is the shaft RH or LH threaded? thanks

Just spoke with techs at OMB and GO POWER…they specifically mentioned that the two cams are not interchangeable even though they are similar in many respects and that I needed to install a 212 Hemi Cam in the 224 if I wanted to keep everything else stock (with gov etc) … all I want to do is simply swap the plastic 224 cam with the metal 212 non Hemi cam. Thoughts?

whats the push rod length on the 224

Do you think the late model 212 electric kit would bolt to the 224?

Can you put a 212 performance carburetor on a 224 does it have the same fitting?

I removed that black emission box. Will that have any affect on the engine?

ARC made a post on Facebook telling u everything that fits the stage 1 fits

Lets assume both the 212 and 224 use the same rod, piston, and the deck height is the same on both blocks, the 224 with it's 3mm greater stroke would push the piston 1.5mm further out of the deck towards the head. (if deck heights are the same on both blocks). So either H.F.'s claim of 8.5:1 compression on both engines is wrong, the deck height of the two blocks are different, connecting rods are different, or the the pistons have a different compression height. Something has to be different to adjust for the increased 3mm stroke of the crankshaft.

The cams are not interchangeable, i was building a 224 and had a 212 non hemi cam lying around and the cam wouldn't fit into the block as it was bigger on the block end

What makes it. Worth the extra $45-50 ?? Stroked crank meter Block I guess ?

I wonder if a 212 hemi head would fit and raise compression

Crankshafts are definately different. Clone rod journal and flywheel taper. Clone cam. In my opinion the way to go with these if you intent to build is a hemi flat top with a common clone billet rod then go from there.

The 224 will spool up slower but deliver more power than 212. Look at formula 1 race car setups. For comparison.

Those 196 cc engines have the smaller bore so they are really not the same Yes the gx200 and both of the predators have the 70 mm bore

I like the idea behind the .224, I like the upgrades of the engine and I think they are worth the cost. The .224 seems like an engine that is designed to last. I am biased because I like the idea of Square to undersquare engines because they are slightly more thermally efficient and have the torque necessary for daily driving. This is my question. I know that the crankshaft is different, but is the connection rod similar between the .212 and the .224

Anyone else concerned about the plastic cam gear???

worth it??? HUMMMMMM???? for 12 more CCs??? doesnt seem like it? BUT now that the 212 is $160. ON SALE the 224 can be had for the same price? hummmm??? if they had the 212 for $100 still i wud just be perfectly happy with the 212 hopped up, good as any. still takes $200 worth of parts to make it SING to 6500 RPMs with 22# springs and CM .265" cam, port job, header, intake/carb/air filter. so...???? i WANT ONE... dont NEED one. got to separate NEEDS from WANTS.
