i have a 2001 660 raptor, i'am replacing the head on it with a stock new head and in the manual it says to replace the head and cover as a set. i have new valves springs and cam to go with it also. will i have issues with the old cover and a new head??
Also on the major thrust side of the cylinder it is pretty scored up can i just hone and put stock new piston in it or should i bore it??
The oil can on this wheeler was ran dry and noticed before anything seized but after they got the new oil can on it it has smoked a bit ever since. i thought the head was gone but as i started to tear it apart it seemed to be ok until i got to the piston
and noticed that on the major thrust side of the cylinder was scored what i beleive to be a little more than normal and looked like the compression rings were fine but the oil ring on the piston was a bit seized. any ideas i have just not worked on one of these before and i got all these new parts before i tore it down and now i'm all :confused:
