    Would have been nice to watch it in a slower mode and with a little more explanation. Especially from the beginning when installing the oil pump and the water pump, fly wheel and stator, I thought there has to be installed a certain way for the timing, gap size between the stator and the flywheel, all the new rubber "O" rings rubber bushings you get when you get the new motor. Another thing is I noticed that you put the fuel injectors in after the motor was in. I am wondering if that would have been easier to do before putting the motor in. It's my first time doing this so I am having a little bit difficulty getting everything back together. Especially when I took the motor out and then apart almost a year ago. Tried to label everything and organize things best I could but apparently not good enough. It also would be nice if they would give the size of all the bolts used. Most a metric yes but you have some for example M10x1. 25 and M10x1. 5 etc. The service manual only tells you what to torque them at. Real pain in the Ass lol

    How’d you get the tank off? I’m currently tearing into mine to help removing the air box and am having quite a difficult time with the tank. I’ve removed the bolt on the steering post and two in the back where it sits on the tunnel. Also have disconnected the fuel lines/wire Any advice would be greatly appreciated Tia!

    When you installed the rear taillight, were you able to send rivets through the outside holes without intercepting the cooler? Usually the outside holes fit over the bolts that come on the rear bumper bracket, but noticed you didn’t install that. Thanks!

    • @themediocregarage
      @themediocregarage 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes you can put all 4 rivets into the tail light. The holes line up with the edges of the cooler underneath so once you line it up you’re good to drill all 4 holes.

      There was a lot of noticeable changes. Hind sight I should have done it in stages so I could see what made the biggest difference but all together it was a huge difference. I think the tunnel chop was the most helpful tho with reducing how much the tunnel would drag in the snow on deep days.

    Hi great video. Not sure if You put the engine together by now but by any chance have you check the balance on your primary clutch? I know water would be bad but there has been many sleds submerged in lakes and they run perfectly fine afterwards. I am curious if your failure is related to clutch imbalance overtime loading the bearing and starting to spall, slight lost of centerline driving pistons wear. That is a pretty hefty bearing for just water failure as the root cause. If you check the balance and still within spec… then I buy the water been the root cause. Good luck!!!

    • @themediocregarage
      @themediocregarage ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey thanks for the comment! Good point. I actually did check the clutch balance and it was well within spec. I’m thinking there was just enough water in the bottom end that it washed a bearing 😐

    What does drilling that hole do. I just did the khaos conversion and I’m wondering what drilling the hole to put in the skid does.

    • @themediocregarage
      @themediocregarage 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you just do the khaos conversion you don’t need to drill that hole to lower the front of the skid. Drilling that hood is part of the setup when you put the Ice Age Elevate spindles on. The spindles are taller to give the front end of the chassis more clearance so you need to drop the front of the track in order to keep it properly engaged with the snow. If you just did the elevate spindles but didn’t lower the front of the track apparently you would have to much extra ski pressure.

      Sounds like a sweet setup you got there. Typically my sled will run about 51 - 53 degrees when the trail isn’t icy. With the cooler on there and an icy trail I was only up to 61 at the hottest and if I just kept a decent steady speed it would fluctuate around 57 - 59 while other guys sleds were up in the 80s and higher and they were having to stop and cool them off.
