Thanks man ..simple and to the point..one thing I'm in process of rebuilding a 800 that had a oil pressure relief valve sticking and advice on this repair.
I was wondering if you would know about the polaris 700 I have. I'm getting antifreeze in the oil. I replaced the water pump seal and i am still getting anti freeze in oil. Besides the head gasket, is there any other options I would look for, where the anti freaeze would still be coming from? I'm definetley not a mechanic by know means. I thought taking off the sied pan of the motor to change the water pump seal was bad enough. Just wondeing if I'm going to have to try and fix the head gasket. Thanks for your time
How do you fix a stripped out head bolt, both the bolt and the threads to the crankcase? Heli coil work?? Kit somewhere??Anything will help. I’m in a fix! Anyone? Thank you so much!
Should be a couple of dowels either on the bore or in the head . Sometimes they get stuck in the bore, sometimes in the head. If they are on the head, leave them there, and just use a couple of head bolts to run through the head, gasket and into the bore to hold everything in place. Once the head is close, make sure the dowels will go through the head gasket and sit down into the bore (jug) with evrything lined up before you torque it down.
Assuming little chance you will see this and reply soon. But I'll ask anyways. 04 sportsman 700 head gasket. Is there a top or bottom to the gasket. I understand the difference in what direction it faces. Can not find any information about what side faces up or down.
Leakdown would be beneficial, but usually on the 700/800 twins, you'll notice massive oil consumption (1 quart per 25 hours or more) usually before you notice any performance losses. I've never needed to tear down these engines for anything other than high oil consumption. Usually due to dirt inhalation.... Thanks for watching!
+DieselFume1 under stand their poor airbox design, but filter changes need to occur often. As for leak down, tell you whether rings, valves, head gasket, etc, and takes minutes to do. A plugged air filter can cause pressure in the crankcase and you'll but oil, just like bad rings, seen that on one I just tested.
Hahaha tell that to heavy equipment mechanics that are supposed to torque head bolts to 320 ft lbs with a Moly paste/ antisieze compound. Almost every engine bolt torque is done with a lubricated fastener
+Josh Mcconnell Head Gasket, Base gasket, Two pistons (come with rings) and a new cylinder bore. I used silicone on the valve cover because it seals better, so that would be it for the parts list
I'm not exactly sure? I've never had a shop do it! I imagine the parts would be similar to what I paid, plus they might have some added markup, plus labor, I think you could expect to pay around $1500 for a basic top end overhaul with new pistons.... if you needed a cylinder head it would be more.
DieselFume1 Yeah thats kind what i was thinking. I purchased a ranger recently and like an idiot i bought it at night and count see the blue smoke. Anyway mines smoking like a chimney. So i am hoping its just rings, but want to be prepared for the worst...
DieselFume1 Last questions: Where did you the new parts? How long, start to finish (pulling engine to putting engine back) did the job take? Do you have video of pulling the engine?
Don't have a video of pulling the engine, but it took me about an hour to pull it, and about an hour to put it back. Granted I work on these things all the time, so it takes me less time than most folks. To pull the engine you'll need to completely remove both clutches, the primary clutch will need a special puller that you get from polaris for around $40. Also need to remove the exhaust off the engine, radiator hoses, fuel injection line, and some wiring plus motor mounts. All said and done, I could to the job in about a full day, but for a novice, I'd say be sure and have your schedule cleared for a couple.. Parts I got from polaris, and is what I'd suggest going back together. The new bore, pistons/rings, and gaskets are going to cost you in that $800 range. If you don't mechanic much I don't know if this is a job I'd recommend you do. You'll need the clutch pulling tool I mentioned earlier and torque wrenches capable of going down to 22 ft lbs and up to 150 ft lbs.
This was an Awesome Video

I confirm, i broke a block at 23 pound torque. make it 18 or 20 at the highest.

Did you replace the head bolts ? Heard they were one time use.
Mine 2003 700 says 64 is 51 plenty for that yr
My 03 sportsman to change the head gasket it will be about the same?
What did you torque the rockers to?
How hard is it to pull the engine
How do you secure the head gasket before dropping the head down? There is no peg or anything that will keep gasket in the right spot. Advice?

Why did you pull the motor to do this job?

What did u find out?
There's a locating pin. So it can only go one way
You wouldn't run a compression test, need to run a leak down test. Leak down will show what is wrong. Thanks for the video's.

How did you clock the rings for the pistons?
I just clocked the 180 degrees apart, oiled them, slipped the jug over!
U should never use antiseize on head bolts. You can over torque and break them. Always clean and dry for proper tirque.

@@OldGlory1776 ya HD is a whole different beast bro. You can almost do what ever and da bitch still run lmfao.
@@OldGlory1776 I guess I shoulda been more specific lol.
could you list all the pieces you replaced please?

around how much did these parts cost? nice video
if you're buying all new parts, you're talking around $750 for the Jug, pistons/rings, base/head gasket
Tom H about $700 from my Polaris dealer
What would this cost to have a shop do it?
