Ok guys,
this is a big problem I am having.
Last year I order the 416 J.E. piston and cam from marcums atv.
So about 1/2 year ago, I got the cylinder bored out by my local honda shop(barnhearts).
So my dad and I put the whole top end back together along with the new valve seals.
It was now smoking even worse then before.I mean it was burning OIL out the WANG.I ran it like this for like 35 mins. I had enough of this and knew there was a problem here.
My dad and I took the top end off again and checked to make sure the ring gaps were not lined up.And then we put it back in time and put it back together.BIG PROBLEM arises!! It is still smoking and burning LOTS of oil.It is burning oil 10 times worse then my 87 LT 250r.
So about 3 months ago,remimber my quad is just sitting in the garage waiting cause I had to save up even more money to fix it.
I am to the point i have to clue what the heck is wrong. So we take the whole top end of again and i take it to a shop(sweet commusion dirtbike)(great PPL)
I tell him that i want to back together and not to smoke and tell him all about it all.
He puts in another set of valve seals,repack silerencer cause it was full of oil,gaskets,spark plug,and says he said every thing was good.
I picked it up today and was SOOOOOOO happy to pick up my 400ex.He says he did what he could and it should be better.
HERES THE PROBLEM
It still smokes and burns LOTS of oil.So much oil that it is blowing wet oil all the way out the end of my exhaust.
WHY IS IT SMOKING! it has about 1.8 hours on the top end and new valve seals,rins not lined up.
I am going to do a wet/dry compression test tommorow on it tommorow before i take the 400ex back down to him AGAIN!!I am so pissed i paided him a decent amount of my hard worked cash to get me right where i was before!!!
