Pinasco engine housing for Vespa

The Pinasco motor housings are very high quality replacement motor housings made of the finest die-cast aluminum. In addition to the very precise processing, they also offer many special features that are particularly interesting for tuners.
In addition to the significantly larger sealing surfaces on the cylinder base and carburetor inlet, Pinasco also offers the housing as a version with a diaphragm inlet. This suction technology, which has long been standard in the automatic sector, also offers large carburettors a good passage to breathe deeply. Further reinforcements in the cast, a larger crankshaft bearing and the great scope of delivery round off the superb overall picture of the Pinasco engine housing perfectly.

The housings are manufactured in two variants:
MASTER = ROTARY VALVE INLET (LIKE FROM THE PIAGGIO FACTORY)
SLAVE = DIAPHRAGM CONTROLLED

The engine internals and ignition components of all 125-200ccm models from 1982 onwards can be taken over. The components built from 1984 onwards are preferable due to the improved and more stable gearbox and the more powerful alternator. The motor of the COSA models is also well suited as a donor motor. Their engine block is outwardly different, but uses the same innards as the PX models from 1992 onwards.

Both versions have the same useful improvements:

• MATERIAL
  High quality die-cast aluminum with a fine surface
• SEALING SURFACES
  Very precisely milled sealing surfaces
• STRONGER
  Reinforcing ribs in the area of ​​the main shaft bearing on the switch latch side and the shock absorber mount
• SOLID
  Significantly more material in the area of ​​the cylinder base sealing surface and the carburetor inlet
• OIL SEAL
  The housings are made to accommodate a metal shaft seal (coupling side). Please always use the version for the 200cc versions with a brown sealing lip.
• FIT
  Two additional fitting bushes = crankshafts with an excessively long stroke can do without the centering edge of the Lima half. Dimensions of fitting bushes AØ = 9,95mm, IØ = 8,40mm, h = 13,80mm
• RUBBER
  The holes for the large silent rubbers are Ø = 44mm (original Piaggio Ø = 43mm).
  The enclosed silent rubbers are stiffer and offer better guidance of the motor in the frame.
  Piaggio silent rubbers also fit. Solutions with metal bushing or without pre-tensioning usually do not fit if they were manufactured for Piaggio engine housings (Jockey, PLC).
• NUMBER
  The motor housings do not have an embossed motor number or prefix
• OIL HOLE
  No drip hole for gear oil = the nonsensical drip hole that shows whether the inner shaft sealing ring is defective has been left out *.

* Our tip: run the sealed bearing and external shaft seal with the appropriate brake drum.

The enclosed fitting bush for the auxiliary shaft must be inserted by yourself
If transmission components other than those of the PX models from 125cc are to be used, please check the auxiliary shaft axis for compatibility beforehand and change it if necessary.
Please insert all stud bolts with high-strength screw adhesive. The cylinder studs are not oversized on one side, as is the case with the original Piaggio. Therefore, glue in the supplied Pinasco cylinder studs here as well. We recommend cutting all threads and cleaning them with compressed air.
ASSEMBLY NOTE:
The crankshaft bearing NU205 on the alternator side is not seated flush in the engine housing.
It protrudes approx. 1mm towards the crankshaft.
