- This is the engine teardown on a 2002 Rancher 350. This is a 2wd electric shift model and is pretty much the same process as the manual shift and 4wd model with exception to a couple differences in the front cover.

Can’t say I’ve watched a 45 minute video from start to finish besides this one……thanks for the effort in this hoss!
I've built 2 brute force 750 engines watching your videos. Found the 3rd on a good deal. Love your videos. Now my dad wants me to rebuild his 98 honda 300 trx. I'm hopeing I'll be able to watch this video to do the rebuild. Thanks again for your videos.
Bro I’ve been stuck on that cam and tryna get it out u just made my day pal
Lol thanks for watching I'm glad I could help
Been a while since you have posted. Hope all is well. You have some of the most informational videos on how to rebuild an engine. You have helped me out in many ways. Thanks
Thanks for watching. I'm working on the assembly video for the 350 rancher. I should have it uploaded in the very near future.
@@FourwheelerDoctorI just came across this! I have the same engine but it won’t shift gears( manual shift) what’s think is the problem?
@@billyhopkins2461 is it stuck in reverse or 5th?
@@FourwheelerDoctor it’s my father in law’s and I’m pretty sure its stuck in 5th. Electric shifter
@@billyhopkins2461 is it stuck in neutral, reverse, or fifth gear I can bet you this is a problem. It's a design flaw in the shifting mechanism but it can be fixed. The replacements you get from Honda are more beefy to prevent the new one from breaking again.

Love this video and it is very timely as I am tearing down my 350 Honda. Have you put this motor back together? When do you think that the video will be posted? Thanks for all you do.
Hi Doc I have a 2001 Honda 350ES that shifts perfect most of the time. Sometimes it won’t shift electronically and will be hard to shift with emergency shifter. Thinking it could be change clutch sticking somehow. The guy I bought it from used it for plowing snow and used ordinary motor oil. If you have ever seen this condition a reply would be greatly appreciated.
When you remove front crankcase cover where the clutch plate are is there a cover gasket? I can't find any online just curious
If you don’t mind me asking when will you do the reassembly video i’m having trouble figuring out how the shift forks are Supposed to go on the shift drum the manual doesn’t specify exactly where they go in the grooves
I should have the reassembly video up by next weekend. I will make sure I show where the forks go for you.
@@FourwheelerDoctor video soon?
@@rileymoorehead8224 I'm working on it. I have had issues with another bike I was working on that has taken way more time than I planned. The 350 rebuild is next.
Dude please upload the assembly video.
Dumb question... On the front cover, is there not a gasket? I opened mine up to check the clutch cause I overfilled it by about a quart and it was slipping crazy. I'm hoping i just clean everything and put it back and i'll be back in business. But just seemed like it didn't have a gasket. I can't find one on the parts diagrams.
No it does not have a gasket. It uses gray RTV to seal the front cover
Good lord that’s like 1/2” ring gap!!
I almost wonder if it had the wrong rings put in it. And as you can imagine it was smoking like a freight train
Hello, I bought a taken apart 2002 350 Honda Rancher here in the Alaskan Arctic. No one in town has a flywheel puller, I'm am hesitant to purchase one online in case I buy the wrong sized one (shipping can take forever to get here), which puller would you recommend buying? In advance, thank you so much for your creation of videos. They are a huge life saver :)
I have had really good luck with motion pro pullers like the one attached. www.ebay.com/itm/311447102403?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=j8o8yDjvSFi&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=UjblROdJR-a&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
On that magnetic piece that you just pulled off does it have a outer and inner seal mine is leaking there
I. Pretty sure it's an outer seal
hey ive got a question. i just rebuilt my 350 engine and have zero oil getting to the top end. it has oil pressure when i pull the opposite side of the oil cooler it shoots out like crazy. is there another seal or transfer dowel from that point that leads to the top end. im gonna pull the engine back out and pull the front cover and check there but if it has that much pressure on the exit side of the cooler i cant see there being an issue there.
Yes there are two towels in there at the oil pump. Also make sure your oil filter is installed correctly with the hole facing outward. The OEM filters will not go in backwards but some aftermarket ones Will.
@@FourwheelerDoctor well i stripped it back down and both dowels were in place. i found the oil passage to the top end leads thru the top of the front center case. honda should have put a dowel there instead of relying on some case seal to hold the pressure. but the port leads to the front side crank bearing in the front cover its right beside one of the top case bolts. if you ever tear another one down on camera you should point that out, its an often overlooked part of the 350 engine. if it doesnt seal properly it doesnt allow oil to get to the top end or the outer crank bearing that supports the clutch. i was tempted to drill the cases for a dowel and oring in that port.
also theres a little 8mm bolt on the valve cover that allows people to check for oil flow/pressure. i hooked up a fitting and got between 5-10psi psi in the valve cover at idle. i know ive been asked 100 times how to check the oil flow up top and thats the best spot i could find to check for pressure and flow.
im sure you've dealt with this crap too as another atv mechanic so if i can pass on what i learned it should be on the most watched honda 350 engine rebuild series.
@@buildurtruckurway9118 I can't say I've ever had trouble with it sealing up on the front cover but that's interesting and thanks for the information. It does look like they would have put a dowel there too.
Hey Doc Need to pick your brain, I have a 04 rancher ES in the shop , it will only shift to 1st and back to neutral, back and forth no problem , If i pull the shift motor i can man, shift all gears up and down soon as i put the shift motor back on the resistance of the motor wont let the shift plate reset for the next gear shift , ;;;; Bad shift motor or weak return spring maybe?,Thoughts... i pull the shift motor and cleaned and regreased , when i shift it manually it feels like the shift plate return spring has plenty of tension , Was hoping you has ran into this over the years and could shorten my search , Thanks for any help and all your videos have helped alot , Thank you
Try adjusting the change clutch. The would put more pressure on it and may help it return back. It may also be a weak return spring. Keep me posted on what you find.
@@FourwheelerDoctor had to replace the change clutch adjusment bolt but that was the problem , it was cranked all the way back , i went ahead and rebuilt the clutches while i was in there, Thanks for your input , I really appreciate it , cousin is happy too , I have never seen a machine so worn out , ball joints , tie rod ends were wired on ,wheel bearings , brakes and the list goes on an on even the cvs were toast
@@jasonhorton4798 glad you got it figured out and thanks for letting me know what it was in case I run into it again.
Can you get me as part number for the camshaft plug on a 89 honda 300 fourtrax. I seen the video that you did of rebuilding that 300 and I'm putting a timing chain in mine and I need the camshaft plug that goes between the head and valve cover. But I cant find any. Thank you and great videos
The part number is 12312-HC4-005
@@FourwheelerDoctor thank you so much
Having issues getting the transmission put back together on my 350. Any way you could show in detail how to do it?
I'm uploading the 350 assembly video right now. If everything goes good it should be uploaded by the end of the day today.
I had some trouble uploading my assembly video for the 350 rancher. It's going right now and it's at about 60% so it should be up either late today or tomorrow
@@FourwheelerDoctor I appreciate it man. Your videos are a huge help.
@@zanebaker6769 it should be online at 10:00 this morning so get your popcorn ready lol.
Subscribed. Im about to do a cam chain and top end on a2004 rancher 350 4x4. And im also doing a trans on a 2007 rancher 420.
Good deal I hope my videos help you out
@@FourwheelerDoctor got the 420 apart. I thought 3rd and 4th was stripped out dead. It didnt have 3rd or 4th and made horrible sounds.. but all i see wrong is a broken shift fork! The gears look fine.. time to order parts..
Ill make a video.
@@skinnybigstuff1040 I very seldom see transmission issues with these bikes. The shift fork is an easy fix. I hope my videos helped!
What state do you live in would like to hire for a rebuild I don’t have any one in my area thanks. Great video 👍🏼 just more than I can do with what I have ( Tools ). 👍🏼
South Carolina
Would a gasket maker be any good? Scared it might leak oil
You have to use gaskets on these bikes for clearance. Often times I do use RTV with these gaskets to help them seal up. The only place you can not use RTV on these bikes is the base gasket under the cylinder. If use RTV on it the pressure from the cylinder head will break the gasket.
I cant find that gasket..I found the small one.i was fixing to silicone it.2006 350 te lost on that one gasket
Which gasket? I can send you a link
@@FourwheelerDoctor the one thats between the stator cover in block..the larger gasket .thanks
@@terrydover6968 there is rtv sealant on the mating surface of the back cover and the crankcase. It doesn't have a paper gasket. The stator to the back cover does.

@@FourwheelerDoctor sir you dont know how much I appreciate you and. Your video very helpful.you got me in the right direction. Thanks from alabama
Would be nice if someone said you can't do unless the engine is pulled
Do you have a link to where I can find that tool?
For the flywheel

Can it not be done with motor still in the 4 wheeler
The top end can be replaced with the engine still in but it has to be removed for complete disassembly
@@FourwheelerDoctor what I'm asking is can I get to the timing chain front cover out without pulling the whole engine
@@FourwheelerDoctor mine just rear wheel drive so I don't have to worry about that being in the way of cover
Where do you order your parts from?
Most of my OEM parts I order from mrcycles.com.
Thanks for skipping on how you took off the clutch assembly
Put a big two jaw puller on it and it will pop off. It's is not on with much pressure at all.
Can someone (me) send you a Honda rancher engine in a box to repair? Its a basket case.
Where are you located?
@@FourwheelerDoctor On the Oregon coast, I bought a 2000 Honda Rancher(foot shift) for $50 and it has shifting issues.
Como puede trabajar con esa mugre?!. Lo primero es lavar el motor completamente por fuera. Ni un poquito de prolijidad y limpieza. Un desastre.
