its a 80cc engine and ill tell ya it was a Mother to put that on the bike, im going to be putting a new motor mount on it as soon as i can, as for the chain lay out, im sorry but im not quite sure what that means exactly im a bit of a noob when it comes to this thing

If you'll look at the chain on my bike you will see something holding it up. That's called a chain tensioner. The orientation on your tensioner? is a little different than standard, hence my question about it. You might hear people say 66cc and that is because of the way we measure. The Chinese include the combustion chamber in their measurements so over in the US we call that a 66cc engine. From a marketing standpoint 80cc looks a lot better.

oh thanks for that bit of knowledge, if you look at the bottom tubing near the forks on the back tire you should be able to see a little bit of color, that the roller of the tensioner that came with the kit just welded to the frame at the moment, mostly it to clear the frame, i just cut the chain a little shorter then normal and used the tire o tighten it
