Frequently Asked Questions – ARC Billet Sidecovers

What does a billet sidecover do?

A billet sidecover replaces the stock cast engine side cover with a stronger, precision-machined component that helps support the crankshaft and improve bottom-end stability in high-performance small engine builds, including Predator 212, GX200, GX390, and Briggs platforms.

Why upgrade from a stock cast side cover?

Stock cast covers can flex under high RPM and heavy load. ARC billet sidecovers are built from 6061-T6 aluminum for improved rigidity, better crank alignment, and increased durability in demanding racing environments.

Which engines are ARC billet sidecovers compatible with?

ARC billet sidecovers are commonly used on Predator 212, Honda GX160, GX200, GX390, 196cc Clone engines, and select Briggs & Stratton racing platforms. Always confirm fitment on the product listing before ordering.

Do ARC billet sidecovers include bearings?

Many ARC billet sidecovers are designed for dual bearing support, but included components can vary by model. Check the individual product listing to confirm whether bearings, seals, or hardware are included.

Will a billet sidecover increase horsepower?

A billet sidecover does not directly add horsepower. Its primary benefit is improving bottom-end strength and stability, which supports reliable performance at elevated RPM.

Do I need special gaskets or hardware?

Using the correct gasket kit, seals, and hardware is recommended for proper fit and sealing. ARC offers related parts that help ensure a clean installation and long-term reliability.
