Yamaha Rhino head gasket replacement, part 1

[@matthewcaldwell8057]

I am a mechanic of 20 years and I have to say, my mind was blown at the simple card board to label the bolt location trick. Big thumbs up, and thanks 👍

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

I like to learn new things like this, so I also like to share it when I can. Little tips and tricks can save the day. Thanks for watching.

@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures much appreciated. Will use any time I'm tearing down an engine from here out. Big step up from laying them in a circle.

[@googlinstuff8910]

DUDE - you just saved my life! Thank you for this awesome explanation of what i thought was a gorribly complex process!

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

Get a manual, watch a few videos, take your time, double check everything and you’ve got it!

[@ericwyman-cp5ke]

Awesome vid. Thanks for my kind of explanation!!

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

@@ericwyman-cp5ke glad it helped!

Thumbs up for the KGB sign. I grew up in SD, listened to the DSC show all the time! Still have my bobblehead SD Chicken from a Padres game. The rhino engine vid aint half bad either. :)

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

Zach Hewitt I dig it when people pick up details in the background. DSC is still on the air. Love your show!

[@zach_hewitt]

Tom's Tinkering and Adventures I miss Chainsaw.

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

Zach Hewitt you should listen online, call into the show. I listen every morning.

[@zach_hewitt]

@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures I'll have to give a listen again. I've become a talk radio guy. Nothing like DSC here in Denver. Breaking down my '05 Rhino today, thanks to yours and a couple others vids.

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

Zach Hewitt Shelly retired two years ago but they are still going. Good luck with the Rhino!

Tried to contact you about a question regarding this head gasket replacement. Tried going to your about link to contact you but unfortunately it won't direct me to a contact link.

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

R. M. B. Not sure why not, I get plenty of people who email me....

[@r.m.b.6203]

Not sure. It will take me to my email but gives me no address to send a pm or direct email to you

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

Well if the engine is a Yamaha clone you can likely find a cheap copy of the Rhino manual online. If you’re doing that much engine work you’re going to want it. Good luck!

[@jeremycarter514]

In order to pull do you have to be top dead center?

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

Jeremy Carter you don’t have to be. Probably recommended though.

[@jeremycarter514]

How many valve head bolts were there? I can’t seem to get it to budge

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

If you’re talking about the cylinder head I believe there are seven. Got a manual?

[@hotbox_chevy4391]

There’s like 16 on valve cover

[@twocreeks92]

@@hotbox_chevy4391 be sure to get the two next to the intake valves

[@richlight17]

Hey Tom great video its very helpful, thank you for the info. Tried to contact you but the link didnt work for me. I had a question for you.

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

[@richlight17]

Was looking for someone to fix mine if interested.

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

Jeremy Carter on my channel page, on the about tab there’s a link to contact me.

[@hotbox_chevy4391]

You don’t have to take the cam apart

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

Momma Tried41 it’s been a bit since I was in this engine, but I don’t remember enough room to get the cam out without removing the sprocket. Maybe I am wrong....

[@CortezwithaZ]

So basically what you are saying..............it wasn’t the battery? 🤨

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

Well, the battery ain’t doing great either.

[@CortezwithaZ]

Tom's Tinkering and Adventures i got lost after you said something about reading a manual... not sure what it meant but it can’t be that important 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

Robert Roy I didn’t read it yet!
