Excellent video. Need more like that

Sucks the crank is a press fit assembly. I had a cylinder head pop off while running. Dealer said rod was bent. I didn't have $1800 for a new rod in 2001. Ski sits in the garage still 22 years later lol.

Very helpful video, will be ordering motor for my ultra within the next month, any tips for me to save time on swapping parts over?

I would buy the gear puller just to make life easier

What page are you ordering yours on ?

[@vtb_racing6205]

@@yunggrizzlyy5937 Engine from SBT, Gear Pull from eBay. But the bolt for the puller was a little short in length so I swapped the bolt from a universal engine pulley puller from Harbor Freight that I had laying around. The one from eBay may work just fine though

Looks likely detonation on that cylinder what plugs are you using? Neéd to use NGK r6918c-9 they are $30.00 each but will save your engine. Good Luck

How did you pull the head? Mine are almost fused on. Howd you break them free?

[@vtb_racing6205]

I lightly went around with a small flat head screw driver to break it free, I loaded the cylinders with PB blaster as well. you may even be able to to use a harmonic balancer puller attached to the head studs to lift it off the block. (That's definitely the wrong way to do it, but it may be worth a shot)
