This was hypnotizing, lol. I totally zen'd out watching this tear down. I can't believe how much Jason knows about this stuff. Like all the ring and dowel placements. Definitely a well experienced professional.
I'm happy to hear that haha I wasn't sure how this would turn out, usually my videos are pretty quick so I wasn't sure what to do with all this footage ha ha
FYI, you can use a threaded rod or long bolt with washers and nuts to pull the piston pins out. Also, don't forget to replace that mechanical seal from behind the impellor. Its very rare that they come with your gasket kit, so you will likely nee to order it separately.
Yeah good idea...in a later video you will see a homemade puller we used for secondary clutch work.... Probably could've used that. In this case it was pretty loose... Barely tapped it out. Are you referring to the seal in the case? I think my kit did come with it but we did not swap it out. I did pressure check the case and coolant side though.
@@sledjason There are two seals behind the impeller. There is a small seal in the case, that the water pump/oil pump shaft passes through, your gasket kit would have supplied that one. But there was a spring with a seal on it right directly behind the impeller, in the video you were mentioned it was "a spring with a seal". That is the mechanical seal, and one end is ceramic. That one should be replaced too and its very delicate - don't touch the ceramic.
Very informative video. Thanks for making this. Strange to find that head gasket not punched out correct and the engine building putting it in anyway. I have a '10 crossfire 800 with 13,200 Miles. Low end bog and hard to start when hot unless i hold the throttle. Checked pretty much everything, all looks good. Haven't check stator to help with hard hot starts. Installed power commander with autotune to see if I can do anything to help with the bog. Not enough snow to test and tune yet though. Looking forward to part 2
Thanks! Those issues sounds a lot like what Jason had going on before this. We will report back on if it was fixed or not. Let me know how yours turns out!
@@SwankyCatProductions you're welcome. There's not alot of snow, and they'll probably get beat down quick, but it's somewhere to go if you need content.
Gaskets covering coolant passages are likely deliberate, assuming this has never been rebuilt before. Likely meant to control coolant flow based on OEM engineering findings. This is quite common in automotive engines.
Yeah the new ones had those sections covered as well. What's kinda scary is how parts of the metal that were pre punched but not removed, seem to have been floating around loose prior to the jugs being pulled off.
Lmao, I've actually been working on it. I had to cut it last summer because I got hit by a van on my motorcycle and couldn't stand up long enough to wash it all on my broken foot lol.
@@SwankyCatProductions I’m sorry to hear that Buddy, glad you are up and back at it. I keep pushing Mud Brats to have you on his podcast. We need Midwest representation!
Thanks man. Podcast eh? I'll have to look into that. I'm terrible about watching anyone elses stuff but I've got time to listen to podcasts while I do my day job haha.
@@SwankyCatProductions They’ve had Pastieboy, Shagboys, I think Revrider550 is a cohost but no Jeremy Rhydes, that dudes MIA lately. We need Wisconsin and the UP represented, it’s all New Yorkers and Canadiens lol
great video CFJ would make a great mechanic! where did you get the manual to show teardown and reassembly? have a good one guys and keep an eye on the storm coming this week if the models hold your going to get hit hard

Fooled ya! 😜
Lmao nice Jason
Dude sure knows what he is doing, A/C should hire him for how to videos🙂
I was wondering if he was an A/C tech

Good info, thanks Jeff!

If you've already put it back together and its not leaking, don't worry about it. Just a note for next time, or if it starts leaking down the line.

Holy shirt! that was a good video
Haha thanks!
Nothing like doing preventative maintenance well b4 the season starts
Now if only the season would start!
just because you can "see" crosshatch, doesnt mean the cylinder doesn't need to be honed. enjoyed the video.
Glad to hear that! I might have cut the part out where he said that... ooops lol
Yeah i was just saying they looked good, but anytime you do new rings need to hone. We did do a hone.
@@sledjason nice work
Wow I have seen your videos, good job ,lots and lots of good info thank you so much
Thanks Bill!
Vilas County will be opening their snowmobile trail system Friday, Jan 1st, 2021, at 8AM. Figured I'd let you know.
That's awesome!!! Thanks!

About time you got back to the snowmobile side of things! 😜 You should grow your hair long again, not sure if this short hair is very Swanky lol

Yeah he knows his way around motors that's for sure. I'm not sure where he got it. We have enough to almost cover up all the grass so far haha.
Where do you get you service manuals from?
How many miles were on the engine at this time?
I think he said 7500
