850 16v

[bybowtie]

what can yall tell me about an 850 16v engine? I have someone who has one lying a round that they are going to give me... thinking of using it in a go cart..... :twisted: :twisted:

p.s. he believes its an 81

Ummmmm... I'm not positive, but I THINK that all GS850 engines, regardless of year, are 2-valve per cylinder (8 valves total), and are also shaft drive only.

dito: all 850's are 2 valve, shaft drive On the right side of the engine there should be a serial # pad with engine size. Ask him if it is chain drive?? it may be a 750
