salmon_slayer06 Posted June 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) Took the head off last week and found the right side dome had a chunk of the sealing lip missing. Piston caught the edge of it and broke it off. Don't know where it went. Must have blown out the exhaust. Walls were galled in both cylinders in exact spots. No major damage. Threw on a new dome, new seals, torqued the head back down, went through the carbs, new fuel petcock and took it up for the weekend. Ran good, sounded good, no coolant leaks. Maybe the engine is fresh enough everything will break in. I had less than 10 hours on it when I had the issue on the ice. Going back up if I don't work. Hoping st. helen grooms the trails before the weekend the trails could use it. Wish I had the Stage 4 elkas now.
