Is Kove’s New 350 Engine Just a Bored-Out 321? Full Teardown & Comparison!

After Kove’s impressive second-place finish at the WSBK, everyone is talking about their new 350cc powerplant. Is it just a modified version of the Kove 321 engine, or something entirely new?

In this episode, I’m doing a complete engine teardown to find the truth. We’ll compare the internal architecture, clutch assemblies, oil pumps, and crankshafts of both the 350 and 321 units. From forged pistons and DLC-coated pins to Japanese Daido plain bearings, we’ll see if Kove is truly bringing "race tech to the street" without any compromises.

In this video, we explore:

Detailed internal differences between the Kove 350 and 321.

High-end components: FCC clutch plates, DID timing chains, and Gangliang crankshafts.

Power specs: 47.6 hp at 11,500 RPM.

Why Kove is proving they are a serious contender in engine R&D.
