Water cooled cylinder kit?

Is this for the 167FMM, it says CG250. It appears to be a kit to switch over to water cooling.

Although, I'm not sure how much better it would be than adding and oil cooler to the 167FMM.

Looks like it's just the replacement cylinder for the water cooled version. My bad, delete this post please mods.

Doesn't mean that a CG couldn't be converted to water cooled. I remember seeing CG motors near the 270cc mark on Taobao, so perhaps a Frankenstein could be created. You'd need whatever water pump and associated engine cover, but it's worth discussing. A water cooled motor could tolerate higher compression, which is where the real benefit comes from. My Kawi KLR250 is between 24-28hp (depending on whom you believe), and that's a long way from a similarly sized air cooled motor.
