    It is the IT motor. My 84 was re-sleeved when it was my Dad's to a 232 back in the late 80s. After many miles of smiles and on its last bore, it had a ring catch a port. Found out that I can get it done again all these years later thanks to the Blaster motor being modified in same manner. However I believe the gear ratios were changed to better suit an entry level quad rider and the larger rotating mass of the rear end.

    It is originally derived from the '77-'81 DT175 engine, which is similar to the '77-'80 YZ125, '77-'81 IT175, RT180, Blaster 200 and IT200. All of those engines, while not identical, share most parts and almost everything will swap from one to the other.
