You should look into one of those "super scraper" gasket removal tools. They're are all different sizes for different things. Not a cheap, junk tool. It's well made and worth it especially with all the rebuilds you do. Been watching your videos for a couple years now. Keep up the great work man. And congrats on the new house and the property. You definitely deserve it.

big bore is nice but those cylinder walls get to thin and they over heat causing them to crack just my opinion lol hello everyone

[@handsolo6241]

Your wise beyond your years, going with quality parts, no big bore or high compression.

[@dillonharkleroad3303]

What exactly is wrong with high compression? I have a efi yfz with a 13.5:1 compression piston and never had any problems

[@myguitaryourface5160]

12.75.1 is what the box said is that stock compression?

[@deeznutz9663]

just puts more stress on the crank mate which can possibly shorten the cranks life time (if its OEM) upgraded cranks can are made for more stress tho

I had an 04 stolen from me years ago, just had new sprockets, o ring chain, hmf full pipe, jetted tuned, on the dyno. Was an awesome quad while i had it.

[@DC-si8xw]

i know this video is a year old, but i wanted to say i put my rings for compression on the left and right sides of piston, more in line with the pin because of the forces in the motor front to back are the greatest and possible to scratch and most likely to have play between piston and cylinder. always seemed like a good idea to install left and right.

[@Slithh]

What an incredible feeling! Starting with something that doesn't even run and then wrenching it to the point of near perfection! I'd give my left (insert body part here) to have your knowledge and capability to work on bikes as well as you do. I'm envious. Great video, thank you for the awesome content!

[@donnaluke4103]

Breaking it in? Donuts for Dummies is not the way !

[@YouTubeSupportTeams]

it's been proven it makes no difference on a comparison test, but i'd opt for a gentle break in myself. It's a rich man's toy and they always need money chucking in to them with on going maintenance so to be honest i don't think the break in procedure really matters all that much in the scheme of things. With these things you're going to be spending money on it, just how it is.

[@donnaluke4103]

@@KZbinSupportTeams Gentle on the throttle until 4-5 hot cold cycles is better for cylinder/piston longevity.

[@OperatorASF]

Sounds like it needs the pilot adjusted and raised as well. FCR carbs are very finicky but when tuned right they run like an EFI bike

[@Brappin350]

I may be mistaken, but it looks like you used the torque wrench to loosen those bolts?? I was taught by a master tech to never use a precision torque wrench to loosen a bolt. Great video! I've been really enjoying your channel.

[@tylerstipancic6615]

Check that oil again guy who rebuilt it before might have not put the water pump seal in correctly. I'd lower the needle clip 1 setting and make sure the accelerator pump adjustment doesn't have a bunch of slack. Id jet it 1 size richer on pilot and main if the other adjustments don't help. Also you might need a new throttle cable. Shouldn't be more than 2 turns out on the air/fuel. Love the content 👍

[@jjjuarez312]

That's a sweet race quad!! I wouldn't dare Sale it!! You should keep it!! You never know when you're going to find a mint condition quad like this Gem!! You'd be kicking your own ass if you sold it!! Good videos keep up the good work!

[@ne14lov22002]

Don't you think it's a little to late to break it in,cause your not supposed to REV it out when breaking it in....

[@stevefritch3180]

You're definitely right though dude!! I noticed that too. Even when he first started the engine he was blipping the throttle. That was annoying the shit out of me!!

[@reggiexp69]

i mean if you want a long lasting engine yes you should if you are a pro mx racer new top end every race no break in time will work fine, but yeah wont like more then 5hours

[@mattsloop2736]

I was always told to very the throttle when breaking an engine in. No wide open throttle for a few hours.

[@YouTubeSupportTeams]

this will be a controversial topic. i've seen so many theories on this i'm left clueless myself. manufacturers usually recommend a gentle break in yet i've seen a study done where they built two new engines, one was broken in gently and the other was no break in, ran for the same amount of hours and then compression tested and dismantled to check for wear and the condition of the cross hatching.. conclusion... no difference. So i dunno.

[@2vintage]

You need to be blipping the throttle when breaking it in. That's why I was varying the revs. This is what I was told. Not sure which way to break in is best. I've never had a problem doing them this way.

[@ianhorabin9763]

Idle could be a slight air leak, check the clamps are tight,if ok drop the needle 1 groove.

[@dom_offroad]

I’d recommend upgrading the accelerator pump with a boyessen quikshot or something similar to get rid of any bog and switching to an NCVQ adjustable needle to really get the mid range dialed in. Can also do a TPS bypass plug to eliminate bog further and sharpen throttle response.

[@TexasRedneck]

I'm not sure how to say this but I really love your channel!

[@2vintageDeamonFan]

[@ezio8591]

[@paulhemmy8223]

lines on the cylinder are called cross hatch. To seat new rings.

[@doitalloutdoors7174]

Dude you vids are awesome and extremely inspiring to me thanks!!

[@jdtv...9134]

It's called clocking the rings🤟 I learned a long time ago not to just do the top end unless you yourself have broken down the whole motor before because there can always be metal inside they'll ruin your nice new piston. Chasing the threads with a tap/ thread cleaner is best before any reassembly occurs

[@michaelconner7011]

Awesome job, I bet it’s fast!!👍

[@christaylor2168]

I think your right about the mid body gasket in the carb. Good job tho. That thing is sweet

[@dennislamers986]

That thing sounds very throaty. What a beast. Good video.

[@av8or971]

At 16:00 i thought you had the piston in 180 out from the valves based on camera angle. So if they did not jet it for big bore. Maybe thats why cylinder cracked.. under jetting, caused lean condition and it cracked.

[@devinlawson4093]

[@foxracer3098]

[@Sunspot-19]

MLS gaskets... They are not forgiving when imperfections are present on the deck or cylinder head. They also use Torque To Yield bolts which are not recommended for reuse since they will continue to yield or stretch after installation. That leads to gasket failure due to head lifting during high RPM operation. Since MLS are not forgiving, never use scotch brite or scotch brite wheels on either the deck or cylinder head. The typical procedure is lapping the gasket surfaces in a surface plate with the appropriate grit abrasive.

[@powersportbrothers6609]

I used AZ quad parts a lot too. They have good rebuild kits on eBay. I've even bought locally from them.

If you are trying to flush a system out after a head gasket job, just use some used oil, instead of wasting new oil. It doesn't matter if the used oil is only going to be in there for a few minutes anyway.

Possible hanging idle fixes: As you stated mid body gasket causing an internal air leak. The slide sealing plate gasket (the lip faces out). Worn rollers on the slide lifting/depressing arm not forcing the slide down all the way at idle with engine vacuum working against it.

Joe, here in the UK, we put the rings into boiling water to stop them breaking when fitting to the piston.

[@takedeadaim8671]

I sure would not run a fresh engine full of that grey oil. While it was apart you can pull the drain bolt and pour a bit of kerosine through it till it run clean, then fill with oil run just till it’s warm and drain again and see what you have. In some ways I’d rather buy the lower gasket kit and just clean it out
