Since I've never worked on a 4 wheeler before, I'm going to have to ask stupid questions. I was wondering when you take of the stator and pick up, does it need to have have any kind of adjustments when re-installing it? Also, is it save to say, should I have the Polaris dealer re-install the seals. I don't have any equipment to do that. I am mechanically inclined, so I'm going to give it a shot. I definitely appreciate your great video. Thanks for posting and you help. Corey, Michigan
Actually would it be the same problem for the antifreeze getting into the oil. My oil turn into cappuccino colored oil gets to be like a light tannish color. Thanks
I didn't have a press so I tapped the seals in with a hammer and quad logic tool. I put everything back together and antifreeze comes out of the weep hole. I have no oil leaks. Do you think I need to tap the seal in more? Appreciate you thoughts.
I recently did this procedure on my 2002 700 sportsman. When I put everything back together the wood ruff key sheared when I went to start it. I replaced it and I think it sheared again. Do you know, is there special procedure to put the flywheel back together. Everything ran before this procedure but now I get no firing at all, turns over, but that’s all. Thanks for your time.
Hi I got the water and oil seals to not leak. However, when torqueing down the flywheel a piece of the plastic ring that is on the flywheel fell off. Can that piece be replaced? Or do I have to buy a whole new flywheel? What is that ring call and what is its purpose? Thanks and appreciate any insight you can give me.
@@AdventuresInLiving hi yes I did. I wonder if it went into your junk/spam mail since it had a picture attached. I'll try re-sending now. Let me know if you receive. Thanks again.
Check compression. If its low its most likely the head gasket. If the compression is ok its most likely the mechanical seal There are always exceptions. You can also smell the exhaust and see if it smells like it's burning coolant that would be the head gasket then
@@AdventuresInLiving its already apart, with the valve cover off, because I thought it was just the valve cover leaking oil. My intention was to just fix that, because it is leaking, but then I noticed white milky substance in the valve cover, so I checked the cap on the radiator. It had oil on the radiator cap. I do not recall smelling coolant at all when it was running, but I can't be sure. I guess I could put the valve cover back on, the new one, and then turn it over to check the compression. What should the compression be? Heck, I guess since all I have to do is turn it over, I don't really need to even put the valve cover back on. What do you think? Thanks for your help.
no they don't best way to flush it is to use a garden house with water running into the radiator and pull the house from the radiator where the water returns. it should flow through then
@@AdventuresInLiving Thanks for the quick response. I have hard well water here. Not sure I want to run that through it.. I did fill the radiator half way with distilled water and it got out some of the crap.. Do you think the flushing it with well water would be bad? There is still all the water in the block. I don't plan to remove the thermostat.
@@jaybourbon8608 I have well water and it worked fine. I dont have alot of iron or anything in mine. Though I Didnt have to remove the thermostats theres a little overflow tube that bypasses it that water will flow through
Is there a right way o4 wrong way to install the oil seal? Spring towards mechanical seal or towards water pump?

@@yuckyduck9064 yes same seal for that. If dont have the tools to pull the fly wheel and stuff. Should have the dealer do it
Curious ..how about the crankshaft seal? Does that get replaced? I never see anyone doing it during this process . Thanks

can give it a try. it took me 3 times redoing before had no oil or antifreeze coming out
@@AdventuresInLiving Ok - Thanks. Great video - thanks for recording it.
If a have gaz in my oil do you know what the problem? Witch seal cause this problem? Thanks
Gas in the oil would be head gasket

Nothing out of the ordinary when putting flywheel back on. You definitely need the key or it will spin on the shaft and not start
I would like to know if you know, would the oil look the same if gas got into it just like coolant would?
gas will mix with oil not coolant

What ring? Where on the flywheel is it located ?
@@AdventuresInLiving
It's on the rim of the flywheel facing the crankcase. On top of magnets. I'll try to send you a photo.
Sorry I can't seem to find how to post a photo. Do you need more of a description on what I am asking?
Did you see the email address I posted ?
@@AdventuresInLiving hi yes I did. I wonder if it went into your junk/spam mail since it had a picture attached. I'll try re-sending now. Let me know if you receive. Thanks again.
how do you know if the head gasket is causing oil and coolant mixing or if its this oil seal?

Repair manual says anything above 150 psi is good
Does the one of the bolts on the water pump drain it? I'm doing a radiator flush and fill and I want to get the fluid out of the pump.
no they don't best way to flush it is to use a garden house with water running into the radiator and pull the house from the radiator where the water returns. it should flow through then

where could i find a puller?
Is there a gasket between the engine and the cover???
Yes there is
Would this be same process on a 2014 sportsman 800 efi?
i can not say for sure never worked on a 2014. I know the service manual for the 700 I have says 2002 to 2010 models
What make the coolant run out pressure relieve Valve
If it doesn't seal properly
Was coolant getting into the oil or was the oil getting into the coolant ?
Oil into coolant
Very cool
