What's this?: Babe Bee .049 Question
This engine (as shown) here: » 1956 3 piece piston Babe Bee hits 13680!
by PV Pilot Today
Shows a different cylinder than my Babe Bee cylinder which shows a four-slitted cylinder. I am 100% certain mine is original and correct.
Has the one shown by PV been modified with a different cylinder?
PV: please don't take offense at my question. I'd just like to know which is correct.
Kind regards,

The 3 piece pistons only came in early engines but slitted exhausts only came in later engines.
Re: What's this?: Babe Bee .049 Question
They changed the engine designs many times over the years. Your Babe Bee is from around the 1970s while mine is about 25-30 years older. Mine was also the first exact Babe Bee design, its bound to get changed with improvements and extra features. Yours has a slit cylinder to cut do on the chance of a fire. I have had open cylinders catch on fire before and I don't recall ever having a slit cylinder catch on fire.
Re: What's this?: Babe Bee .049 Question
Not being desirous of an engine fire I'm glad my Babe Bee has a four-slitted cylinder.
Thanks for the info.

Re: What's this?: Babe Bee .049 Question
I'm lost with this.
Ehhh, I don't think that was my thread, I believe that was Admins thread.
link please.
I think I asked about a babe bee single vent/fill backplate awhile ago on another thread and was wondering what year it would have been, I don't think it was answered tho'.

Actually PV it WAS your thread but it digressed into a discussion of Babe Bee cylinder exhausts between early and late BB's.
Digression. How unusual, huh.
