85 200x

[sbd-3]

I have a 200 x that i am going to rebuild the engine on.Do i need to get some kind of comp. release on it if i use a 10.25 piston in the motor???? I had to ask as i have read on here about the kick start gears in the 200x being weak? THANKS for any help you all can give....Jerry

no u shouldnt, i have a 10.5 to 1 and i never had a problem yet

I ran a 12.5:1 in my '85 when I raced. No problem with the kick starter ever. You should be fine.
