No need to be sorry bud! You're content is awesome. I thought I knew a lot about small engines until I came across your channel.

I was going to post a comment about you saying "point zero zero five inches" but you actually called them thousandths finally. Well done, sir.

[@jimnorcross2515]

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.

[@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.

[@derekcombs7203]

You are by far very professional in what you do!! I wish that you would teach your craft to other people. You have a great knowledge that needs to be shared! Thank you for the uploaded video!!

[@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

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

[@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!

[@paulhemmy8223]

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

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.

[@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

[@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!

[@jjjuarez312]

@Vin_tage22 huh

[@2vintage]

Yeah it's a pretty nice one!

[@thesaltlifemanshow5522]

Runs well and sounds good, I personally would have done another oil change and some kind of cleaner to completely make sure that you don't repeat the whole locking up thing from the oil mixing wirh rad fluid. Secondly I never heard the fan kick on once getting to temp. Depending on what thermostat you have. Once that opens and kicks on that switch you should get fan. Or if your like me you do it with a switch so it runs all the time. But hey your also the guy I've never seen ever do a break in one anything it seems. Either way you got it fixed snd running and have far more bravery and knowledge then most mechanics. Thats for sure. Never ever let someone discourage ya brother cuz you've saved a ton of machines from scrap. I know me and my kids like your videos and how chill they are. I gotta admit tho watching you in your garage with zero noise from a tv or radio at least. I can't handle bein in completely silent rooms so I guess I'm weird lol

Wow! That quad is insane! Awsome job joe

[@fredmarch7669]

Whoever was the machinist, he did an incredible job with the piston and cylinder, takes one to know one.

[@jeffreyhagelin3672]

I'm guessing the carburetor jetting might be abit lean for the colder winter temperatures. This would account for the change in RPM and the fan coming on.

[@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 👍

[@jhaday4656]

since the oil and the coolant was mixing u should change the oil again because It will a=still have coolant somewhere hiding. my raptor 700 had that problem and when i checked the oil i thought it was still mixing but it was not it just still had coolant in it

That is a thumper for sure- I use the same company here is AZ - great content

[@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.

[@roxnsky]

Been looking forward to a update i never miss a vid but plz stop with the spoilers of the machine running before the vid starts, i don't know why anyone would like that, ps im not into putting people down that make great content like you do but spoilers really grind my gears 👍

[@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

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.

[@johnsb1550]

I didn't like how that oil looked when you drained it, residual coolant shouldn't have looked that milky. I would check it again and make sure

[@leebenson4874]

I changed it again. It stayed clear thought the whole ride. I will continue to check it though.

[@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.

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.

Please make a video how are you going to fix that idle problem. My Goes 450 X got the similiar problem, either it wont stay idle and die, or it idles really high and then die suddenly. Another awesome video about the rebuild and those shims calculations and other, keep it going buddy!

[@Coolkitty639]

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.

[@dennislamers986]

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

[@BigDude412]

Great video always learning some thing new every time thanks for being so teachable bike look an sounds good looks like a beast bro keep up the great work

[@2vintage]

Thanks man

[@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.

[@TrustedSilver1987]

Your level of competence is amazing.

[@MM_in_Havasu]

Great video, glad you got it running well! I'd say adjust the idle mixture rather than speed. Keep us posted! Thanks Joe!

I would check the throttle cable. My outlaw 500 did the same thing and found it was frayed at the top under the protective boot by the lever..but I’d check both ends

[@2vintage]

Ahh that would make sense as to why the idle is hanging up. I will check that.

[@corygreen7148]

I ordered a lot from az quad parts. I had my head sent out to them and had them do a valve job. I got my hot rod cams and high compression piston from them also

[@maxxisrazr2012]

The exact same thing happened to me with a CP piston and an athena big bore cylinder (490cc) on my honda trx450r. Get's super hot and antifreeze was pooling into the engine oil, very milky. I used the cometic head gaskets. Sure enough 3 days later after riding the piston melted and damaged the crank shaft. Hopefully this isn't the same problem I had.

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.

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.
