Engineered for precision in high-stakes kart racing, this ARC Billet Crankcase Cover transforms the standard Predator 212cc setup into a robust powerhouse. By introducing side-by-side dual ball bearings, it creates an additional fulcrum point that drastically cuts down on crankshaft flexing, allowing for smoother operation and higher RPMs without the risk of vibration-induced failures.

The design incorporates an integral O-ring seated in a machined groove around the perimeter, ensuring a leak-proof seal that maintains optimal oil pressure even under intense racing conditions. Four precision-machined pin receptacles align perfectly with dowels, boosting shear strength and making assembly straightforward yet secure.

Bronze bushing support with ARC's innovative oil system fortifies the camshaft main, slashing wear and extending component life for consistent performance lap after lap.
Two venting holes at the top come equipped with 1/8" NPT plugs to manage pressure buildup effectively.
Convenient dual oil fill ports feature billet aluminum hand-tighten plugs for quick access during pit stops.

Practical touches like threaded holes over the side dowel pins allow for easy removal using the included small bolts, saving precious time between races. This cover fits Gen1 and Gen3 non-HEMI Harbor Freight Predator engines exclusively—compatibility with HEMI, Honda GX200, Clone 196cc, Ducar, or Tillotson models is not supported. Note that it requires the kit's bolts; studs are incompatible.

Installation is user-friendly with all essentials included: bearings, seal, gasket, O-ring, plugs, caps, and hardware. Torque bolts to 185-200 inch/lbs for optimal fit, and use 14oz of oil in most setups. The kit provides two solid dowels for top and bottom receptacles—retain OEM dowels for left and right positions. Due to minor variations in clone blocks, alignment issues may arise; try removing the bottom dowel if needed, or reach out to tech support for guidance. SKU: ARC6058 elevates your kart's engine reliability, helping you push harder and finish stronger on the track.
