Anbull 223cc engine review and disassembly. The Anbull 223 looks like a non-hemi Wildcat 223 engine. 58mm crankshaft and 70mm bore like the Predator 224 engine and the Wildcat 223 Hemi engine. The 223 Anbull engine would be great engine to build for stock appearance Kart Racing!
This is not a sponsored review. I purchased this engine with my own funds and disassembled it completely to share the details with you.
Thanks, Chris "Kentucky Fried Fixes"

The new Anbull 223 engine review is much like the Wildcat 223. They share a similar reinforced engine block but the big difference is the Anbull 223 is a Non-Hemi head type Honda clone engine! In this video we'll disassemble the new Anbull 223 engine and discuss the differences and a few similarities between it, the Predator 224 and Wildcat 223 engines. Some features are shared between the 223 Anbull engine and the 223 Wildcat Hemi engine as well.
A close look will find the new 223 Anbull vs 223 Wildcat engine for comparison. They seem to share the same reinforced engine block and that great torque pattern marked side cover. High performance aftermarket parts are easy to come by with no special cam required. You can run any (.549) clone camshaft in the Anbull 223 engine! (Although you may need to clearance the camshaft for that massive 58mm stroke crankshaft.)
The 223 Anbull engine block is reinforced and that one feature is worth $100 aftermarket. Add in another $100 for the 58mm Stroke FORGED crankshaft and it's easy to see this engine is well worth the $219 price tag.
Now for some numbers and features:
1. The 223 Anbull engine crankshaft is a 58mm (2.283") crank with a rod journal diameter of 1.179"
2. The 223 Anbull engine cylinder head is a non-hemi type, this differs from the Wildcat 223. It looks to be around 20cc
3. The 223 Anbull engine camshaft has a shaft diameter of .549" on both ends and will interchange with standard Honda sized clone camshafts
4. The valve sizes in the 223 Anbull engine are not advertised but measure out at a very respectable 27mm Intake and 25mm Exhaust
5. The cylinder block in the 223 Anbull engine is a reinforced race type dual bearing block and though it does not have a name raised in the casting, it certainly appears to match a Tillotson block and the Wildcat 223 block
6. The non-Hemi type valve cover is cast aluminum!
7. Wrist pin size for the piston measures out at .708 on this one. The Wildcat pin is usually between .707 to .709
8. The coil in NOT a rev limiting coil. It's a stock coil design on this one so careful if you remove the governor.
It's my opinion the 223 Anbull engine is one of the best 58mm Stroke engines of any currently available. When we compare the 223 Anbull vs 224 Predator, they both have a 58mm stroke crankshaft but much is removed from the counterweights on the 224 Predator version. This makes the front of the rod throw on the 224 Predator crankshaft heavy and difficult to balance. The Anbull 223 engine has a nice machined side of the counterweight but there is no extra material (weight) removed from the counterweights. This should make a well balanced and smooth running engine! With a bit of work and a few billet parts, this engine could be a great "Stock Appearance" Kart racing engine

You're the first guy I've seen to measure in the hole for us! Thanks! Seems like a non hemi wildcat to me. Add a longer billet rod, perhaps thinner head gasket , some sort of mild cam since you're in there and you have nice start!
The Anbull 223 is definitely one of my favorites. Love the cast valve cover. Thanks!
Thanks for the look 👍
Thanks BWX! I appreciate you!
@@KentuckyFriedFixes Likewise ✌️😎
I like to see engine options and this looks like a good one. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks mentioning DIYWILLY channel in the description. Thanks for sharing.
You've got some great stuff on your channel! You've shared this channel as well my friend! I appreciate you!
I like the side cover and the flat top piston looks like a quality engine. Great video.
Thanks Frank! I like it!
I dig this motor I may have to pick one up myself!
It's a non-hemi Wildcat 223. I like it.
Good looking engine.
I like this one for sure. Thanks!
I agree it's a nicely built engine. Even if the flywheels have holes for a puller I still do it your way lol. Good video my friend 🔧👍
Thank you Sir! I don't mind using a flywheel puller if the flywheel has the holes, but a little tap and a pry bar goes a long way!
I was just on the jungle site and couldn't find this engine, but came across a 209cc by alpha works that's a little different. It has a 48mm stroke but a 74.5mm bore.
Hi Wesley! Thanks I'll check that one out. I'm a big fan of large bore/ short stroke engines. Lots of RPM from that combo.
I think that extra bracing on the back of the head helps direct air from the blower housing over the head. The 459 has it also.
I agree. The main objective was to promote more airflow around the back of the cylinder, but the added benefit is it helps keep the jug from blowing off on big bore engines. Thanks!
50 thousandths gasket? Thats great. See you on next one. Cheers
Thanks!
I wish I could find a few dozen of the valve covers.. where do you get your extra lash caps from?
Hi JdWarren33! I do like the cast valve cover on this one! Neat! I also like the thought they put into this engine with the lash cap on the intake as well as exhaust. I shop online for the best deals. I'm not sponsored by anyone so I hesitate to mention any business names. For something specific , just send me an email and I'll be glad to tell you where I found a specific part if I don't mention it in the video. The lash cap and retainer I'll be adding to the LCT engine, I'll pull a used one from one of the 196 parts engines at the shop. Thanks!
I would like to see a street legal trike can you make this happen,. Check out the gy6 engine build ruckus. Big bore build
Hi David! That would be a cool project but I don't think Kentucky allows any off-road vehicles on the highway legally in most cases. There are exceptions made for farming though. I'll look into it but no promises. Thanks!
Those are street legal. Check out that rukus and the chuckus on youtube and the icebear 150 trike and doing the big bore kit 60 plus mph and using Ford 2.1 turbo on them
I'll look at those David. Thanks!
Is your woodruff key on the flywheel side of the crank stuck in the crank. I was looking at mine and it seemed that your not able to take the keyu out
Sometimes those flywheel keys are stuck pretty tight in the slot on the crankshaft. I use a pair of side cutter pliers to grab on to the key to remove it. Just try not to nick it up too much if you're planning on reusing the key of course. It is removeable.
I notice in this video you referred to Ducar engine. I have a 420 cc Ducar engine. I do not know where to get the parts for this engine. I appreciate if you have any info.
Hi Sidney! I usually shop online for the best prices and shipping for my parts. There are a few places I routinely buy parts from, but Dyno cams is the only one of those vendors that has ever been kind enough to send a Super Thanks for review of their Ducar engine so I won't mention anyone else. Thanks!
Hey there friend that is a nice engine! Do you think I can get that piston off the Amazon website. This motor looks like it will be better than my harbor freight 224 motor! But if I can get spare parts off of Amazon specifically for this motor that would be awesome the cam is awesome and the piston I would be very interested in but only from that motor! I’m really wishing Anbull have a site! 🌏
Hi Janice! I like the 223 Wildcat flat top pistons. I usually buy those from EC or Turk Brothers when I put in a good order I'll add a piston or two to save on shipping. Thanks!
Nice. Looks like yet another good engine option.
In this case what would you do with the CR? Could this be as easy as a plus .020" rod and a .010" head gasket?
That would be a great combo! I'm working on the details for a build on this one. I'm really partial to a long billet rod and that Wildcat piston but I have considered the combo you mentioned! The 3.353" rod I like to use would put the piston above deck unless I remove a little off the top. Those builds with the piston above deck are great runners but not so great when you're pull starting them! Thanks!
It looks like a non-hemi Wildcat!
Even the filter box is the same as the Wildcat.
@@fatbuddycat I would bet these come from the same factory as the Wildcat 223 engines. There's just too much similarity between them. Looks like we have a non-Hemi type Wildcat.
@@fatbuddycat Yeah I seen non hemi and went hmmm? Then i seen the flat-top then went wow!
KFF, did you get the wrist pin size?
Woah!
Time for a stroker build! Thanks FBC!
"Only 12 left in stock - order soon". This can mean that once those 12 are gone that's it unless the seller orders another pallet of them from China.
@@Deucealive75 I hope they keep a bunch of these in stock! It'd be my luck though, seems like every time I find something I like it gets put on backorder!
@@KentuckyFriedFixes I like it! I was messing around with a 212r on my Trailmaster but I'm trying to get my Wildcat back on. The issue I have is I don't want to run a $100 motorcycle tank. I have to step up the flow for a stock tank somehow.
@@fatbuddycat I'm running one of the plastic pulse fuel pumps on my Ducar 212 with the Tillotson carburetor. It seems to be working well. I wanted to keep the stock tank on the engine so I wouldn't be out the extra $ for motorcycle tanks on the Baja Warrior bikes. Stock tank going on the Ghost 212 soon too!
Northern Tool has some engines.
I'll check on their site and have a look. Thanks RTZ549!
do you know what billet rod would fit in this with the piston?
Hi Gabe, the 3.353" part # 8281 EC forged rod works great with the flat top piston that comes with the 223 Anbull engine. Most blocks should be near TDC or a few thousandths above deck. Just remember to choose your head gasket thickness to allow at least .035 quench distance between the top of the piston and the head and you'll be in great shape.
@@KentuckyFriedFixes so a .35 head gasket would be good?
@@Gabe-tt2jj Hi Gabe! I had one that the piston was almost .010 above the deck so I used a .045 thick head gasket. Another block was at TDC and so I used a .035 with that one. As long as you have at least .035 clearance you'll be fine.
This engine is not available on the jungle site. Can you do a review and tear down of the Viking 223 from v power equipment. They have ducar blocks and forged crankshafts. Ty for your videos.
Hi Larry! I looked into those and they only have electric start versions available at the moment. I'll keep checking for a pull start version. Thanks for the idea!
Hi KFF.it’s electric start with a pull cord as well.
The electric start adds around $80 to the price. I'm frugal so I'd rather have one without the electric starter.
I’m looking for the electric start version. What’s the name of that site??
@@KentuckyFriedFixesI’m looking for the electric start version. What jungle site? I’m trying to find the site to buy it. That Amazon site link is not working
Nice little motor I don't really like the 224 but this is definitely a canadate for a future project I've got to find some more e start motors to throw a few of my old 2 seater karts together to go bomb around country roads on next year
I like these better than the 224. The crankshaft is much better, I can't wait to build this one! Thanks HP!
@@KentuckyFriedFixes I'm really not a fan of predator 10 years ago best bang for buck but now days with all the great options I'm almost leaning away from the 212 platform all together other the I do love the Tillotson 212e I will say the non hemi predator I have has been on several bikes and I've been hammering it for years I need to freshin my briggs to use on my scat cat I dug into my tecumseh and just remembered why it's on shelf had a broken flywheel
@@heathenprojects2639 When the Predator 212 engines were $99 and you could get one on sale for $89, they were a great option because of the price. Everybody knew they weren't exactly top shelf engines but they were cheap enough to blow up without crying over them. Now the prices have near doubled and the 212 is basically the same engine it always was. I like the Anbull 223, it looks to be a non-hemi head Wildcat. I commented to FBC I bet these come from the same factory.
Why do some use lash caps on the intake and some not
Hi Craig. That's a great question. Some engine makers include both lash caps, some include one, while others include NONE. I don't have the answer as to why? It sure is frustrating!
@@KentuckyFriedFixes especially if you don't remember what it was and spend the afternoon looking for one that isn't there haha
@@craigchiddo2794 True! Everybody has that experience their first engine build during assembly whether they admit it or not! "Where's the other lash cap? I've lost one!" 🤣🤣🤣
Redbull + wild turkey & some clone? 🤔 shine? That’s quite the concoction 😳 🤪 .. seriously , thanks for the look 👍 never heard of anbull , sounds like a grudge match $50 vs $200 😝 .. ✌️🤙
Hi Rawb! This was a roll of the dice. I'd never heard of "Anbull" either. As it turns out I'm glad I took a chance!
@@KentuckyFriedFixes dunno where or how you found it, but have some thoughts (to much typing) .. but certainly looks like someone is just gonna let the product & word of mouth do it’s advertising if it holds up to the potential it looks to have 🤷♂️ .. 👍 ✌️
I'll check it out Nic!
You said you were going to look up the coil and let us know if it’s a rev limiter, but I don’t see that info. ?????
It's a stock coil. No rev limiting features on this one. I'll see if I can update the description. Thanks!
Thanks. I just ordered an electric start Wildcat 223... found your video afterward and wondered if I'd bought the wrong engine. But I couldn't find an Anbull with electric start for sale now, so I'm happy with my choice. Will look at this brand in the future.@@KentuckyFriedFixes
@@russchastain9375 Hi Russ! I think the Anbull engines are just a Wildcat 223 without the hemi head anyway. Love the electric start stuff! Much better than an arm pulled out of socket during a start up!
Like what jungle site are you taking about!? 🤔
Amazon = the Jungle site. Sorry for any confusion. I think these are sold out there now.
Frankly, I'd prefer this over the Wildcat 223. I'm not a fan of hemi heads. Too bad this engine looks to be no longer available.
I liked this one too! Why does the good stuff always sell out fast? This would have been a great box stock engine for some of the karting classes as well IMO. Thanks my friend I appreciate you!
Why do you go back with voice over in your videos? Why not just talk while your doing the vids?
Hi Curtis! The voiceover has a much better microphone quality than the iphone does. I found it's really difficult to film one project from start to finish without breaking for other unrelated engine stuff going on in the shop. I do leave the live audio in the clips though.
