Hey alley thinking about everything ill be doing in future with upgrades and all ....I'm assuming we have the short case motor right ? Where to I find the motor stamp ? And does it make a difference that I have a pull start and not a kick start on mine ? Is any of that gonna change my new crankshaft bore kit etc etc etc

If your CVT has 8 BOLTS holding yes it is the SHORT CASE MOTOR. Here is my motor it is a 157QMJ which is probably what yours is. The motor stamp you will find on the crankcase here:

I have a pull start on mine as well BUT I took it off because if you pull it, it unscrews the Variator Nut then you hear a nasty metal to metal noise and that is the Fan hitting the inside of the case and now you need a new fan (HAHA). ASK ME HOW I KNOW

With my Zodiac's they really need no upgrades as far as performance and the only thing I add was auto start with alarm and radio as for a speed I can to safety 60 was at 70 didn't fill comfortable.
