Could you please add in the timing chain guide installation to this video? I too had to pull my flywheel back off and clean off the retaining compound to get the guides in place. It's a MAJOR hassle and is the only glitch in this otherwise very helpful video series.
Yea Thats Kind of a Big Skip i Noticed when he was putting the head on ! I was like Where did the guides come from did i miss somthing Nope just forgot that part!
(2016 RZR 1000xp HL) Watched video a few times (assembly) also have the tech manual, bought a disassembled engine(exhaust valve broke off and did some damage), got the short block together and noted the jet piston (piston oiler) not installed. This is not listed in Tech manual nor video, talked to my local service tech and they didn't find it either. He commented nothing unusual for Polaris to not list everything. Get to pull apart and figure out where oiler goes?!?! Had to order new Oiler since one of the tubes was bent. Otherwise a good informational video.
Hey Charles I’m just getting my engine finished up from a rebuild I’ve got a 2020 xp1000 with the automatic style tensioner that bolts to the cylinder housing. Is it normal for the front 2 intake valves to be slightly open when setting the timing on the engine ? I had to move the intake cam so that it would open the valves slightly just to get the camshaft timing plate on. I tried taking the buckets off to see if it was shims size but the cam lobe was hitting the spring. So what I did was torque the caps, set the timing plate on the rear then install the sprockets and chain. After that I installed the tensioner to hold everything together and made sure it was fully seated by slightly moving the cams to get the tensioner to ratchet outward. After doing this the engine seemed to be perfectly in time but the front 2 intake valves stay slightly open at Tdc is this correct? Thanks again!
Is it absolutely necessary to use the cam shaft timing plate when timing ? Didn’t put my stuff TDC when disassembling and having trouble getting the timing right.
With one piston high enough, the other would be too low. I would plan on a full disassembly to make sure the rings aren't damaged on assembly. -Charles
I have been following this video series to a T... this one you guys totally skipped over the installation of the chain guides. I had to pull my flywheel back off, use the puller even (since the compound had set up). 😞
So about the crank seal on the clutch side of the motor I notice it has a flange if I was able to remove that with flange and all without damaging the engine case can I install a conventional seal without a flange and have no issue with leaks???
