boonman Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 It'll only cost ya about $15 for a top end Cometic gasket set off ebay for the top end. I'd pull it. It isn't hard. Splitting the cases is more involved than pulling the top end...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nater006 Posted April 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Yeah... I'll probably end up doing it anyway. Was hoping to go riding this weekend and need to get my hands on a gasket kit but.. oh well. If I pull the upper end, I need an O-ring kit for the Cool Head. Still gotta pull the engine out of the quad anyway Its down to the kicker idler gear and that little arc piece over the clutch shaft that keeps the bearings from walking out I believe, though. Just have to pull it today, do the dirty deed, and get that thing fixed. Should be interesting to see what the 2nd gear issue comes out to be. Betting that one of the 2nd pair is missing a tooth...

boonman Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 I found some gaskets at home. lemme see if I got them tonight. I only used the head gasket out of the kit, but the base gaskets are there. You don't need really anything else. Lemme see if I got a pair of them. I'll send them to ya....

troyminator Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 This is an old post that I was reading... What did you do to torque the nut for the primary gear? I was thinking about trying to make a block to screw to the flywheel to hold durning installation... I am posting again to a question I posted in my own thread, but I though you might have some suggestions. Let me know. Please T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nater006 Posted July 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Held the crank with a strap wrench and busted out the torque wrench. The strap wrench didn't have much flex to it so the torque should be really close to what was required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
