OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions On Victa Two Stroke Engines difference beetween chinese and aussie block

Hello,

For the powertorque engine, i would like to know what are the main difference beetween the chinese and the aussie engine block. How can i recognise each other. maybe it'll be easier if someone could post pictures of the 2 engines showing the difference.

Thanks a lot and have a good day.

only real difference looking at it from outside is the cooling fins on block are fewer (bigger spaces between) easy to see but there must be other differences too

Hi vccomm,

Do you mean engine block whith bigger spaces beetween coolings fins = chinese engine block or = aussie engine block ?

the aussie block has more fins with smaller fins in between

Here is an Australian make power-torque.

This is the Chinese engine see it has less fins.



If nobody has added any better pictures tomorrow when I get home from work I'll add some other photos to show.

good pic's , still none on this pc , cheers blumby

well done... I can see easyly the difference beetween the 2 engine block. Do you have an idea about the quality of these 2 engines ?
Thanks,

Well nothing on paper as you would expect,but it would seem that the Aussie build engines are just a little more hardy,but you would expect that.That's not just as they were made here but there was a little more quality control back when we were making them.

Theres no Chineseium in the Aussie cast iron.


Ive never really seen any issue between either blocks. Its been reported that the Chinese ones crack, the bolts are made of cheese, the heads are no good. But I cant say any of the bad quality is consistently bad.
Its more the bodge from dodgy repairers and tenants thats consistent.



But if I was to do up a motor for myself I would grab an aussie block, a later one with the bigger transfer ports.
