my buddy wants to take out the sleeve and then send it in to get bored. how hard of a procedure is this for fairly mechanical inclined people (my buddy and me) could someone give some bried details on this procedure? thanks alot!:)

[wolffie]

*the piston to get bored. not the sleeve! lol. i dont type write when i am going fast! sorry!

[TRX23rider]

the sleeve is the part that would get bored

[hawaiiansupaman]

if you got a manual you can do it........ and its the cylinder that gets bored not the piston........ pretty easy i never took a wuad apart and so far mine is going good???

[TRX23rider]

what about putting the cam in is that easy?

[hawaiiansupaman]

yes just be carefull not to drop the cam bolts and put lots a lube....take out the decomp plunger and spring too

[TRX23rider]

would it be safer to just to take it to my local honda dealer and have them do everything?

[hawaiiansupaman]

if you have the money for them to do it then i guess do it but its not that hard and i think you could do it yourself..

[TRX23rider]

how much do you think it would cost for them to do that?

[hawaiiansupaman]

no idea depends how much they charge an hour?? it took me and a friend about 10 hours keep in mind weve never done it before so it was a learning experience plus it was like 20 degrees..

i just had my local shop install a cam for me. it was around 150$ for installation and parts (2 hours at 75$ an hour). if your not sure if you could do it yourself, like i was, spend the extra money and make sure its done right. Because you could be spending alot more money in damage due to improper installation later down the road. just my 2 cents.....

me and my dad do all our work ( within our capabilites) and so i would try it urself and if you htink u did it wrong take it to a dealer
