I ordered mine last week, & what he told me was that he was getting ready to put together a 416 kit that would include Viton valve seals, but that his current one did not include them. Also, when I got all my stuff, the seals were wrapped up in the packing material & I didn't see or feel them, so I accidentally threw them away. I had to go back & dig through my garbage can :o , so check your invoice & see if they are on there. If they are you bought 'em, so check the packing material. If not, you didn't buy 'em.

In just the kit you would buy from Marcums there is a piston and gaskets. Then you would need to get some Viton valve seals and a XR cam also. You can get all this for less than $300 in your door! The advantage is it makes your quad wake up, and there are no disadvantages. It was worth the money and you would be very happy. You will be able to beat stock Craptors and hang with the modded ones. Go for it!!! I also recommend porting and polishing and removing the choke from the carb and rejetting it!!

i thought everone said the valve seals came with it so i took my old ones off and then i didn't get them

Well actually the marcums 416 kit is only the piston and gaskets...the xrcam and valve seals need to be ordered separate,,but the $300 price includes the cam and seals..

Dont pay 26 buck for valve seals. I got mine from terry for 2.50 a piece. I would try to cancel that order and call terry. He forgot mine when he delivered and he overnighted them to me.

Just a follow up, I called Terry @ Marcums and he's taking care of my cylinder right away and I should have it tomorrow. As far as the valve seals, they will may be listed on the invoice as Suzuki, but they fit the 400 as well. Great service so far as I can tell.

Yeah I would try to cancel that order some how. I got all 4 of my viton valve seals for 10 bucks from terry and the viton seals are far better than stock.
