    I found it easier to put the piston in the cylinder before putting the wrist pin in. Less screwing around i think.

      I have buddies that are harley guys and they all put the piston in the jug just to the bottom of the oil ring land, seems to make assembly a lot smoother and less time that the flywheel is exposed.

    So you rebuilt this with 94mm bore and left the top end stock. Wouldn't that choke the motor? I would go with kibblewhite diamond valves, kibblewhite diamond spring kit, with a stage 2 hotcams, Keihin FCR Carburetor. And for the exhaust I would do a full aftermarket replacement like a Big gun or Yoshimura RS-2 Series Slip on muffler with a FMF Powerbomb header. Then that upgrade will be complete. My experience you can't just change the jug and piston and expect performance gains.

      @@ChadMyers73 I come from the world of motorbikes where a piston is changed about every 60 hours, but with an LTZ I would use it in the countryside and in the woods, so I wanted to know if it is necessary to change the piston every few hours, and if so how often?

    • @ChadMyers73
      @ChadMyers73  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Just like all other 4 strokes they need changed about 50 to 75 hours. With 2 strokes being about 25 hours

    Heyyy i have a question (might be stupid question) my exhaust cam was causing a ticking noise on my LTZ 400 i figures since im going in the engine and replacing it id doo a top end, does my cylinder have too be Rehoned ? Or am i aloud too just throw a new OEM piston in there with fresh rings

    • @ChadMyers73
      @ChadMyers73  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would say it probably depends on how much where are scarring is in the cylinder

    Dude, as far as the weather it's not much better down south. I'm north bound in the Mississippi River and as soon as I came through I-10 bridge it was like someone flipped a switch. From heavy fog to 35 mph winds and holding. Mother nature is angry.

    I have a Z400 that was parked about 4 years ago I drained all the gas and clean the carburetor could not get it to start I put a compression gauge on it and it is reading 0 I don't see how it could have blown up not running any ideas?

    • @ChadMyers73
      @ChadMyers73  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Did you put oil in the cylinder and do a compression test that way also. If you do that and you then have compression then the rings are rusted and stuck. You'll just have to re-ring it. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

      Dan Matz Yes it is possible. Put a tablespoon of oil in the cylinder and recheck if still no compression than there is a valve issue.
