    I am just researching right now, and no she did not start back after the second stall. again, all input is great. I WILL check what you suggest, for sure. But that initial thunk I got felt like something broke. but yeah, I plan on looking it over before I buy anything. It just is not an easy deal to find stuff for this bike like around the corner, so i want to get as much of a start as I can if I need to purchase a motor. I need this back and running fast.It is my ticket to freedom ( actually my ride to work, minus the grumpy but loving wife taking me everyday). If ya know what I mean. Then i got to have my mother-in-law pick me up.. oh man am I in a cluster right now. deep breathe.. count to ten.. relax.

    you can check for this sort of damage by taking out the spark plug and seeing if it looks like this:

    if it does unfortunately the other damage is fairly likely.

    How you did that man!?

    But guys... if you allow me... As Axa wrote, and I would agree with him, it is really small chance that engine simply died as one on pics he posted above. Spare parts for those pushrods are cheap all around the world... if you are not looking specifically for "Dong Fang" DF 250 RTB. Luckily, those engines are Chinese motorcycle engine mainstream.

    BTW, those replacement engines you mentioned: you can find them easily in your neighborhood (US, I mean), both OHV and OHC engines, those who are "bolt on" solutions for your bikes.
    Ask me nothing - I DO NOT speak english. Really...

    Low powered singles do not like to be lugged around.They'll blow.They are happiest running in their torque curve.

    Throw out some suggestions as to where to find easily. I would greatly appreciate it. Here in Houston, it is a tough chore. I do have a couple places I am going to check on, but over all.. forget it. Unless you can recommend some ideas.. that would be awesome.

    so do we have OHV or OHC? I know they are air cooled, but unsure about the Cam Valve thing? Still learning the inners of these.

    Basically, as I understand, most of the brand new Chinese 125-150-200-250 cc thumpers you can find on "E-bay", "Craigslist", online shops, are clones of the "Honda" CB engine (which is OHC) and his "slow" cousin, "Honda" CG (OHV), which all have same rear engine mounts (those around front sprocket), while those on the front or at the head cane be slightly relocated, depending on displacement, cooling system, presence of balancing shaft, but all those mods that may be required, are tool-shed-level mods. Long story - short: when you find some Chinese engine, it is... I don't wanna to exaggerate, there is 90% probability that he'll fit on your bike.

    If you ask people who live in US, they will probably throw few links for some shops or sellers, so if necessary, you can pick a new "heart" for your bike.

    How to determine is engine on your DF OHC or OHV? I thought that you are getting your bikes with balanced CG clones, but this link confused me - http://www.ebay.com/itm/12-Dongfang-...xWXiJS&vxp=mtr . Nevertheless, here's quick identification guide for Chinese OHV engines. If you see this shiny button on left side of a cylinder - you got a OHV.

    Zorge, do you happen to know with some authority that most if not all CG, or even 167fmm engine mounts match?
    You seem to indicate you do, your probably correct but ive never seen a second engine than my own.

    ive even had trouble finding a matching cylinder body and head, so im skeptical of manufactures ability to match each other.

    And the CB would never fit with the dual exhaust pipes and the dual engine cradle down tubes.

    So what about the suzuki GN clones, again they look similar but....
    then we could swap in a 172fmm for the 167fmm, potential power gain.
