Just a question about the cylinder. What is the hole in the intake and the case for? I mam using the 100B+ cases.
In the old days putting a reed valve on an Ace 100 there was no mention of putting hole in these locations.

Gotta be more specific on hole location.

Hello Thrownchain I bought the Van-Tec front end from you. If you have an aluminum red or colored tank 100cc cylinder and look at the bottom you will see the about 1/8th" hole and there is a hole in the engine to match as ell as the gasket. The Ace 100's do not have the hole not the cases either. I am using the Ace 100 bottom end and the later model Road Toad cylinder on them.

Thrownchain, were you the one who got that Van Tech Earles fork on Ebay a few days ago? That was a wild ride.

No I bought mine several month ago.
Do you know why the hole is in the Road Toad aluminum intake port?

Not sure why this hole is exist. It does nothing.

As to the fork question, no I didn't buy the forks off Ebay, I was in the bidding but quit at $300. The forks I sold were acquired at the PVR swapmeet a couple of years ago. As to the hole in the cylinder, does the matching hole in the case go anywhere? Or is it a blind hole that goes no where? If it is a blind hole, then just ignore it, it may have been put in as precursor to some other use. Maybe oil injection.

It's a blind hole. We covered this in some depth no pun, A few months ago. I think Hydraulic Jack thought stress release.--------Clarence

I know this a little late. A Road Toad cylinder will not fit Ace 100 cases, the stud spacing is not the same.
