hey everybody, i joined awhile back and this is my 1st post. i recently got a 2001 400ex. when i got it, it was mostly in pieces.
heres the day i got it:

its got a fully gusseted frame, powdercoated, LSR bearing carrier, UM aluminum airbox, K&N filter, stage 3 hotcam, ported and polished head, full LRD exhaust(rusty pile of crap), +2 Axle, AC nerfs, IMS Roll Pegs, ITP rims all the way around, original holeshots on the front, Kenda knarlys on the back, full frame skid and swingarm skid.
so the day i got it i started rebuilding, put the top end together with all new cometic gaskets, fast forward to yesterday, i start it up and its smokin like a two stroke and the valve cover was leakin like it was going out of style so this weekend i gotta rebuild it :rolleyes:
1st question: it came with a second piston and jug, the piston is bigger than the stock jug thats on it now. the numbers on top are D01E2/4628m08600. any of those numbers seem familiar?
the second jug is way too big for the aforementioned piston. im guessing the piston is maybe a 416 and the jug is from when this bike had a 440 kit.
2nd: is there anything special i should know while rebuilding the top end? this is my first 400
thanks in advance for any help guys! :D
