You failed to spin test the bearings. You failed to attempt to clean out the piston rod bottom bearings and the crank bearings on either side of the damaged piston. High chance of metal filings in those bearings.
Free advice, remove the seat , gas tank, that stuff needs to come off then the airbox you'll see wut i mean when you take all that other stuff off it opens up so your not fighting with no room to take the engine off
When you took your 2017 sportsman to the dealer to have heat shield installed, how did dealer install heat shield did he have to remove rear cab to install heat shield? I purchased a kit for 2016-2017 but can not get metal heat shield over exhaust pipe, might have to remove rear cab thanks Danny
Going in a week. Whats the best place to find good snow around there? Most of what I’ve seen looks pretty tracked up unless you go right after it snows
When you buy something cheap there is a reason. You don't always know how previous owners took care of it. With aything in life failures can happen. I happen to have aothere 600HO with over 10,000 miles on it.
Scrapped it with a plastic putty knife and finished it with a razor blade being careful not to dig in an put any deep scratches. Went over it with a rag with some brake clean on it.
This video sucks. I wanted to know how to adjust it underneath. How to adjust the tie rod to move it in and out and it has nothing on that. There's no video that shows what he is doing underneath. It sucks rocks!
Good video. It's good to see that all my frustrations are shared by all with the model, lol, but like anything, the more you do the work, the more straight forward, etc. I have to say, pulling the winch was a lot easier than when I installed it! so it wasn't as big a deal as I thought. I like the idea of using a pump to fill the diffs, better than the "easy packs" (Amsoil). I always remove the tires when I do the diffs, and keep the atv level. The jack can get in the way of the drain but a little extra mess is worth extra access and am always finding ways to make it work better than last time. Again, good real world video. Thanks
I've been riding sleds in the UP backcountry for years. Bought my first dirt bike this spring, and hope to get up to ride the trails in the next couple of weeks. Super excited!
I strongly suggest that you remove the outer wheels on the anti stab kit and cut the axle that holds the outer wheels. Even if ice age are top quality it is really easy to take a hit on one of the wheels that bend the axle and in worst case scenario breaks the axle - and it is a perfect way to destroy a weekend when you finding that you are standing on the trail three hours away from everything with a stab kit that's now only bolted on one side of the rails...don't ask me how I know that. 🙄
Interesting. So just run center wheels. On this kit not sure its enough to keep it from stabbing. I actually thing the anti-stab is a Wahl Bros racing one.
I noticed a little but not near as much as when I changed the rails. Also when I added it to the 155 I also geared down a tooth, so you may want to look that video up.
Hey could u send me your email? I'm having weird noises when I try to start up it sounds like the starter isn't engaging properly and when I finally does crank up, it idles for a second b4 it seem to get in in bind and shut off. The starter is new
So you didn't show how you got the cams back in the head with the timing chain, which is maybe the most important part putting it back together, that's where I am at now. I don't seem to be able to get the cams and chain back together
Correct. Sometimes I just get in work mode and forget to film. With the everything loose, chain tensioner, no caps on cam you probably have to tilt the cams down toward tensioner a bit to get chain aroud and on teeth.
@@gobigparts I am having problems gaining enough slack in the chain to get both cams back in the head, I believe it is because the one chain guide that is closest to the exhaust valves is not down far enough, I don't have a book on this ATV, and when I pulled the head the guide came with it, I don't seem to be able to get it to go back down where it's supposed to go, I don't believe it is sitting right or locking in place, I need an image from a manual for the guides, or an image from an engine itself.
Probably should be doing this with the tensioner removed… it would help gain space and an extra free hand. If the chain guide is out of place you may be in for some more work, it may be loose or broken further down towards the bottom end
I'm going to put a straightline performance on my 850. When it's on I'll be riding in the middle of nowhere on private property. If I go ride trails I'll throw the stock can back on
@@gobigparts Okay thanks! I just assembled my 600 CFI bottom end and didn't either, I went through the Polaris shop manual and see nothing about requiring to do it. I usually work on ski doo/sea doo and those machines require an oil bath.
