Hi, my name's Rick

Recently picked up a little bike project on marketplace and need some help sourcing parts.

New to all of this stuff and whenever I pick up a new hobby, the first thing I do is join a forum, so here I am

It is a cool looking custom build.

That is an easily recognizable engine!! It looks like a Lifan 167FMM. That is a dependable engine. As I recall intake valve should be about 0.003", and exhaust maybe 0.004-0.005" (cold). You certainly have easy access to that head!! Checking those valves would be a good first step.

Maybe someone can chime in to confirm these clearances. My Storm has the Zongshen 167 engine. I think the valve clearances are identical, or real close.
