| | | did i really recieve my 155z?
gday guys,
over the past few months i have been slowly building myself a bike. all of the parts except for the frame came from DHZ. i was pretty happy with his service until i recieved my engine.
i ordered a pitster pro 155z crate engine, but what i recieved looks EXACTLY like a gpx 160. even the side covers have gpx written on it and the head has 160ccm^3 written on it. i emailed DHZ and he tells me that it is a 155z internally, the manufacturer for some reason decided to slap GPX labels on it and engrave the head with 160ccm^3 even though it is a 155cc bike. on the crankcase the numbers '1p60ymj' are written along with the engine number, can anyone help me in identifying if this engine is really a 155z?
im thinking of pulling off the head and measuring the bore to be safe, but i would like to hear your opinions.
i will put pics up in a few hours when i get a chance.
cheers

even if it is a gpx 160, i lose because i payed more for the 155z, which pretty much means i overpayed for a gpx 160. ill definately post pics when i get a chance

my 155z looks like the one in the link, but why is it that way?
why do they advertise it to look one way in the pictures, then send you a completely different motor

you do realise the motors are esentailly the same the the zonga donk has a shorter stroke
like i say ken will fix you up if wrong
i'd imagine it has gpx on it because thats the china company the would have bought the motor from and well gpx is there brand so the want to support it
my mate has the gpx 150 in his bike but the case's have ciniworx stamped into them
pics will be the tell

im just really annoyed because i asked for a pitsterpro 155z engine and i loved the look of it, but then i recieved something that looked completely different. the bottom end on the 155z is supposed to be alot better than the gpx 160 according to forums in america, but the 155z i recieved has the same crankcase as a gpx 160cc, so how could the bottom end perform an better on this particular engine?
is there a difference between a zonga 155z and a pitsterpro 155z? or are they the exact same engine?

Mate bottom line is that even if it is the 155z internally its still not what you payed for.. You payed for the motor in the picture which also as you say you liked the look of.. I would either be asking them to replace the engine with a proper 155z or get your money back and buy it elsewhere.. From PitsterPro or someone. I can see why your angry and i would be fuming if i shelled out over 600 for a product i didnt want..
Get the engine you ordered!!
