    What should I put my valve clearances for the in and out ports at? I've seen posts saying 0.1 0.1 but for a regular 50cc it is 0.1 0.15. Why would you make the out port smaller if you put a bigger cylinder on your engine?

    Valve clearance is set regardless of CC, the exhaust clearance is always slightly bigger due to it getting hotter, expanding and making gap smaller. I always set valve clearance slightly bigger than factory setting as I've seen carbon build up on exhaust valve seat due to not closing properly.

    So if the factory tells me to put in on 0.1 and out on 0.15 I should put it on 0.12 and 0.17?

    Just give it a little bit exrta on valve clearance especially exhaust, at worst it will rattle a little.
