If that is the case then i will order one for the CRF...
the plug that fits in the motor must be ported diffrently to what I thought...

have you seen just the motor fitting for sale anywhere...?

I honestly tried searching for just the block fitting, because I probably could have saved a few bucks that way, but I never had much luck. I am sure somebody, somewhere, may sell them individually. I just never found them.

I've seen both. Just have to keep looking. I forgot what I had to type in to find it.

The problem is that the product listings come and go. Just like my Renthal bars, which are no longer listed on Aliexpress. The adapter/fitting for the block may have well been on there when you searched, and now doesn't exist.

I only found one oil cooler kit on Aliexpress, but it is nearly twice the cost of the one on Taobao.

My total cost for the one I bought came out to about $44

So, I have some good news on the intake front. The CRF230 intake manifold will work perfectly. I already ordered a NOS one for 25 bucks shipped. Now I can mount socket style carbs.

The only tweaking that will need to be done is a bit of port matching. Without measuring, it looks like the gasket hole is about 28 or 29mm. So, likely the intake will be too.
