Product Description
NCY 61mm 171cc Big Bore Cylinder Kit – No Case Machining Required
Fits GY6 125cc/150cc A-Block Engines (54mm Stud Spacing Only) | Made in Taiwan
Unlock the full performance potential of your GY6 engine with the NCY 61mm 171cc Big Bore Cylinder Kit. Engineered as one of the only true bolt-on 171cc upgrades available in the United States, this premium kit is specifically designed for 54mm A-Block GY6 engines and features a unique 62.7mm outer cylinder skirt that eliminates the need for crankcase machining on compatible engines.
Unlike most 61mm big bore kits that require the engine cases to be bored or ground to accommodate a 65mm cylinder sleeve, the NCY kit utilizes a specially designed slim-skirt cylinder that drops directly into compatible A-Block crankcases with a minimum 62.9mm crankcase bore opening. This makes it one of the easiest and most effective ways to increase engine displacement to approximately 171.3cc without expensive machine work.
To further improve engine performance, NCY includes a lightweight cut-down (short-skirt) cast aluminum racing piston that reduces reciprocating mass, allowing the engine to rev quicker while improving throttle response, acceleration, and overall power output.
Whether you're building a high-performance street scooter, buggy, ATV, or go-kart, the NCY 171cc kit delivers a massive increase in torque and horsepower while maintaining excellent reliability.
