Will a iron barrel Wombat top end bolt to a Ace 100B bottom end?

I believe the answer is no, because the bolt pattern for the Wombat is wider apart than for the Ace.

There was a 125 upgrade made for the Ace, by Webco, I believe, but those have become very hard to find these days. ; D Victor

Victor is right. Different stud pattern plus 8mm studs on 125 vs 6mm on Ace engines. Different cylinder spigot diameters too.

Is your goal to just build a 125? Or is your goal to build a motor which will fit in an Ace frame?

There are more options of which you may not be aware. How about disclosing to us a little more about what you are thinking? Victor

I have an iron barrel wombat motor. May need a new cylinder, or may be boreable, need to check with my boring guy. Rest of the motor is in decent shape.

My daily rider is a Ace 100B.I' m a little fart 125 lb. I want to be able to cruse at 55. I can do that now,but the engine is working hard. I am going to build a bad ass engine that looks stock. I want to be able to cruse at 55-60 without overworking the engine.I think I can do this on my own,but if it is over my head Ron Leddle can build it for me.

If the engine is on the first or second overbore i'm interested.

Dropping a 125cc engine into an Ace frame is loads of fun. This bike easily hits 60 Mph cruising speed. If only I had another Circle F...
