I learned from mud puppy on the top end rebuild now I do my own atv even the valve adjustments thanks to mud puppy

We did this on the trail 2 years ago. Buddy cracked a piston in his rubi and we couldn't pull him 20k thru the mud and up shale covered hills. We ran to Honda picked up a gasket set and ordered a niche 10-1 piston off amazon. Took us about 3 hrs to get done with limited supplies it ran better than new afterwards. Bike sat in the woods for 3 days before we had the parts together.

You could use Silicone spray on the rubber exhaust mounts when removeing and and installing.

Great video man!

I dont even own a Honda but I just watched the entire video lmao

28:21...Fill cap up with vasoline and screw on. Any kind of sealant will be good as new when you want to use again.

Came out at the perfect time, doing first rebuild of mine Monday. Worried about the ring gap and haven’t been able to find the diagram online

I torqued everything down right , why is coolant leaking out my head gasket and ig getting in the cylinder and making it smoke any idea ? Yes the coolant is getting in the oil

whenever i pull my jug and valvues i get ALOT of coolant coming out. how do i prevent that?

I just did mine and I’m getting no compression I didn’t I just my valves could that be the problem????

Question, when I put the valve cover on, it didn’t sit on there “nicely” I’m thinking one of the four studs backed it’s way out a little and is hitting the rocker.

I suspect Your engine isnt at tdc. So youre trying to open a valve by putting the cover on.

Got a question, first off love your videos…in this video every thing was described perfectly. However after rebuild new oil and coolant…after 30 min of. Riding the atv started over heating…seems my reservoir is filling up but not returning to radiator. Water pump? Clogged return?? Not sure.

It could just be air trapped in the system. these ATVs usually bleed themselves but you can check by removing the hose on the top of the thermostat housing and see if you get any air pushed out

I would never go to all the work of rebuilding a top end without checking ring gaps and piston/cylinder wall clearance. 10 minutes checking that shit could save you hours of doing it all over again. Also, rags are good to use, not just talk about. You just about had one of those dowel pins drop in the bottom. You were damn lucky.
