can anybody tell me if 0200 cylinders work on a 220 gpu?sounds silly, I understand. I'm just ballin on a budget, in need of cylinders. And exploring the options. Ignorant to air-cooled engines. I found a friend of a friend that has like 30 contential 0200 jugs that I can get for like nothing... so thats why I'm asking...
& While I'm asking questions... and your still reading, my 220 blows smoke from everywhere. Vented from the fill tube and rear of the block chuggin smoke. I havent done a leak down yet but compression was high figures like 150/low 210/high. Im thinking those are some wet ass jugs... pretty sure cyl 5 and 6 are shot. Cyl 5 will stop smoking intermittently. Cyl 6 chugs like a freight train. Pulled header to quickly confirm. I had low oil pressure thinking I have a slap wore out 1959 engine, read some posts, found and cleand oil filter/screen. Don't know what I'm looking at but pulled the oil press "reg" or dump valve under the #1 cyl and put some washers behind the spring. Pulled the spark plugs, cleaned em up fired it and idles @ 20 psi now. Ordered 12 more spark plugs (6 new and 6 for backups) my " mutual connect" says if its just rings, measure the cylinders he can get me rings for about $65 per hole... lastly I pulled my whisper tip of my dd350 boat slapped on the 220 as is w/ no adjustments. And the 220 only spun to 2500ish when my sbc spins that prop 2850ish rpm. However @ 2500 rpm it was pushing my pickup thru the back yard. Im so confused :dontknow: anyone's $ .02 is appreciated and thank you for the time
