You have the best videos man, really appreciate watching you work. I just bought a 2006 trx500fe. It had a brand new top end put on it. Piston, rings, pin and cylinder. It still had a slap in it, the powersport shop told the guy it was the rod. Is there any chance that an oversized piston pin can be gotten and the upper rod and the piston hole be machined out to accept the oversized pin? Thanks!
Just wondering if a guy could throw a new piston and jug in my forman then have the head decked like a few thousands of a inch? would i make good power or is it even a thing?
I have the same Wheeler but it's pouring oil in the air box. What could it be? I can ride for a few minutes and it's filled with oil. It's coming from the tube on the left side of the airbox.
Hola como puedo determimar que piston y aros puedo usar en un 2007 foreman 4x4 es en relacion a (std) (0.25) (0.50) etc etc. Muchas Gracias desde Puerto Rico.
After I put a new head gasket and torqued everything down , I’m guessing coolant is getting pst the gasket bc it leaks out the sides , is gasket maker of some time needed ?
You shouldn't have any gasket maker on the base or head gaskets. If you put it on the base gasket the gasket will squish out under the pressure of the head bolts and make it leak. You probably messed up your base gasket
Rocker box makes sense. I usually get my oem parts from one of three places. Either mrcycles.com, motorsport.com, or partszilla. The first may take a little longer but is normally cheaper but the last two can get me parts if they have them in stock in a couple days.
I see you didnt replace the cylinder it wasnt messed up at all with the wrist pin having play? Also did you measure the bore to see what over size piston/ rings you needed?
I had the original cylinder bored to match the oversized piston I purchased from Honda. I also purchased to same size oversized rings to match the size of the new piston. If the cylinder is not scratched up deep I normally just go the first oversized piston which is 0.25 mm. This will clean of the cylinder walls and straighten out any imperfections in the cylinder. This also will allow for more borings down the road if needed since Honda does Offer Up to a 1.00 MM oversized piston.
@@Bigjameskyboy lol we watch family feud at my job at the lunch break and you were watching me. If I could just figure out a way to get paid like Steve Harvey I'd be all right.
@@FourwheelerDoctor yea, I was hoping that there was a way around that, by just doing an oversized wrist pin. and just making the piston hole and the rod hole a very small amount larger to accomodate the size and tolerances.
@@mikecochrane2074 I've never heard of anybody doing that but that's not to say it can't be done. I don't know if you have that much room on the Piston to make the wrist pin much bigger nor that much room on the end of the rod to make that much bigger. Then there's a chance that it may be the big end of the rod that's making the noise down at the crankshaft
@@FourwheelerDoctor yes, i thought about that too. I can feel the play in the wrist pin and rod, but not so much the lower rod and journal. I am looking at getting the crank and rod assembly, just not sure about spending all that money. But yea, if i tear it down, i will be studying your videos, thanks for your time brother!
It's critical that the gaps aren't lined up. It's really according on which manual you look at on how they say the gaps should be but they all say don't let the gaps line up.
@@FourwheelerDoctor Just wanted your opinion I’m getting ready to rebuild top end on my foreman 500 new jug, piston, rings, valves and it seems everything I read or watch says something different thanks tho
I can’t thank you enough for this video. The wrist pan retainer, and the piston rings were a lot harder to install than I anticipated.

Watching your videos, what other motor is the same as the 700xx? Like the brute force v twins. Praire, bf, kfx.
Wish that you were closer to help me getting my 2003 Honda Rincon 650 up and running.
excellent job thanks for your video

It also smokes bad

I've always called it a rocker box but where do you get your parts from

Thanks for the reply I'm rebuilding a 05 trx500tm I've learned alot from your videos
Last question is there a reason you didnt use any assembly lube
@@kcwyrick7947 it's not a bad idea to use it. I usually just oil my parts before putting them back together.
whats torque specs for valve cover ?
very well explained

@@FourwheelerDoctor awesome thanks for the reply!
Did you put a gasket down for the jug?
Yes the base gasket is shown at 31:10 and the head gasket is shown at 38:45.
@@FourwheelerDoctor yes sir watched on my lunch break and clearly it's there I just missed it.

What year bike is this?
2016 but the plastics have been swapped out to newer ones.
basically i am trying not to pull apart the engine, and would hope the machine shop could do the connecting rod while in the motor.
You have to spit the case in order to get the crank apart to get the connecting rod out.

Honda manual says it crucial that the top and second ring end gaps are only 120 degrees from each other you put yours in 180 from each other

I can't watch this: camera is moving too much.
Sorry about that. It was one of my earlier videos and I was just learning how to do the camera work.
