Great video, man. Reminds me of me and my son working 😂

Good job letting your little one help. I miss those days with my son. He is all grown up and working on helicopters in the Marine corps now.

You got a young Mechanic there...~Listen ~how he says My Turn that's it ,, he is serious,,

[@rolandsgarage8640]

Has the Niche top end kit held up okay?

[@rolandsgarage8640]

Yessir, so far so good. No complaints at all.

[@joeschutze4475]

hey, I just got my 2003 Kodiak back together after rebuild. It runs great but there is still a loud clicking in the head. I set the valve clearances. any idea what it could be?

[@rolandsgarage8640]

It's probably the valves. Make sure you get the motor warm and put it on top dead center and adjust them again

[@jamespatterson729]

after finding top dead center and setting up the timeing chain on marks flywheel and top end on mark . when trying to crank it , pops or back fires out the intake ?? am i 180 out ?

[@rolandsgarage8640]

Yea it pops through the carb your 180 out

[@jamespatterson729]

@@rolandsgarage8640 prob a dumb question but im racking my brain , if it is poping out carb and the marks are set up between the flywheel and piston is at top also , the head is at its marks also , how can i correct it ?? does that mean the head is at the intake position ???

[@rolandsgarage8640]

Your camshaft is in the wrong position.

[@missypeppers3193]

What will cause too much gap on the rocker arm

[@rolandsgarage8640]

They valves need to be adjusted. If it'd not covered in this video it will be in part 3

[@missypeppers3193]

I brought it to top dead center and it had a quarter inch gap

[@rolandsgarage8640]

@@missypeppers3193 you need to tighten them up then
