ENGINE SPECIFIC TECH SHEET FOR: BOX STOCK 6.5 OHV
Description: Single cylinder, 2 valve, OHV 4 cycle engine.
Combustion chamber volume: 26.5 cubic centimeter minimum, with piston at TDC,using prescribed procedure. The Liquid CC check is the official check (IF THE ENGINE FAILS THE CC LIQUID CHECK AT ANY TIME DURING THE TECH PROCEDURE IT MUST BE CALLED ILLEGAL)
Cylinder Head Requirements: Must be OEM casting only. Porting and / or grinding are not permitted. Valve seats are two angles 45 degrees valve face and 30 degrees top relief. Intake seat maximum ID .897”, Exhaust seat maximum ID .862”. Outside face of valve may not be below floor of combustion chamber (i.e. don’t sink the valves). Stock head bolts only, must have four. Head gasket/s maybe after market, must be of stock configuration, gasket thickness is a non tech item. Depth check between the valves, front to back and side to side may not vary by more than .005” max. No copper or aluminum gaskets allowed. Any stock configuration exhaust gasket allowed no other sealer.
Block Requirements: Stock cylinder bore is 2.685” max. Stroke is 2.123” + .010” or - .010”. No piston pop out allowed. Matting surface finish of block and cylinder head is a non-tech item, surfacing of both to correct gasket failure and meet cc check allowed however, no piston pop out is allowed. May use 2 side cover gaskets of stock configuration. Block must remain stock as produced. Stub for governor may be removed and hole plugged. No machining of block allowed. Welding to the block shall be for rod damage repair only and may not constitute a functional modification.
Carburetor requirements: Huayi OR RUI*ING model carb only. Carb to intake sealer is gasket only no other sealer allowed. Choke must be as supplied from factory, but may be fixed to stay in open position. Venturi .615” NO-GO. Rear carb bore .751” NO-GO. Main fuel jet .042” NO-GO. Low speed idle jet is a Non Tech item. Stock emulsion tube must be used and unaltered, .066’ max ID (no pass through). Side holes in E-Tube 4 holes max in bottom section and 20 holes max in top section. Minimum E-Tube length 1.092”. Throttle shaft - .115” minimum. Butterfly - .037” minimum. Aftermarket air filter adapter allowed (max length of 1.375).
Valve Train: Stock valve cover only with any stock configuration gasket, no sealer.
Factory stock rocker arms 1:1 ratio and push rods only. Stock valves only 45 degree
angle only both valves, Intake valve Max OD .982” +/- .005” and Exhaust valve Max OD .945” +/- .005”,
no modifications allowed. Only Box Stock valve springs. (Installed Height for valve springs .815”, must be checked by using the .815” spring must go gauge with retainer seal in place on intake an exhaust valve if used.) Prescribed check procedure as follows – Remove valve spring, reinstall spring retainer, insert .815” must go gauge in spring location. Gauge must go in both locations Intake and Exhaust with any allowed retainers in place, as raced, during check procedure. Max wire diameter on spring wire is .071” with a maximum tension of 10.8 lbs. at a height of .850”. Lash cap on exhaust valve only. Valve stem seal allowed on Intake and Exhaust valve, maximum lip thickness of .027”. Minimum thickness of Intake retainer .227”, Exhaust retainer .250”. BS lifters only, no modifications allowed.
( Additional check for valve springs – Each spring is to be checked using a .750”height by .800”width plate gauge and a .250” (square) no-go gauge to check the center spacing of the spring coils while inserted in the plate gauge.) Prescribed check procedure as follows – Insert the spring in the .750” X .800” plate gauge (spring must be centered in plate gauge and must fit inside of gauge with the ends of the spring wires perpendicular to the plate ). Once inserted in the plate gauge take the .250” no-go gage and check the center coil spacing on both sides. The .250” no-go gauge must be parallel to the spring wire and perpendicular to the center of the spring when checking. The .250” no-go must pass check on at least one side of the spring. This check is to be performed after the 10.8/lb check and .071 max wire diameter check have been performed.
Ignition system: Stock Box Stock system only and must be unaltered. Kill switch and low oil sensor may be disabled and removed. Flywheel: Box Stock flywheel only (5lbs 4oz minimum) including plastic fins. BSFW-1 steel billet flywheel allowed on 1/1/12 same weight check as stock flywheel. As of 3/21/12, ARC Flywheels 6619 & 6618 and Raceseng Flywheels RSP-13-075 & RSP-13-077 allowed. All other current specs as to flywheels will remain intact and in place.
No alterations of any type allowed. Timing and flywheel key is non-tech.

Claimer Rule: You must finish the race in the box stock class to purchase the winners engine for $200 or $275 if the billet STEEL flywheel is included (minus the clutch/chain guard/throttle kit, header pipe/muffler, air filter adaptor/air filter, top plate & fuel pump).
Important Note:Any attempt to increase the RPM ’s of the BOX STOCK PROJECT,Stock Classes, engine(example:stronger/non stock valve springs or decreasing exhaust restriction from stock levels) is strictly prohibited. Should this be allowed or preformed will mandate the use of an aftermarket Billet style flywheel for high RPM use(Super Box).ARC currently has these parts in their product line(part #’s 6618/6619)and they are approved by AKRA for use,others may become available as demand increases. Note:Under no circumstances is this type of flywheel allowed in the Box Stock (Stock Classes),Stock Flywheel ONLY. No other alterations to or from stock components are allowed
