Engine and Bottom End / Motor years by case ID

« on: July 22, 2014, 10:18:12 PM »

Thanks for taking the time to make this thread Tony! I had already discovered what I needed to know, turns out I have an '86 engine in my '87 chassis, or should I say I had. I had to sell my R on Saturday for financial reasons. This question came up during the sale.

Is that the same tank? If so, how did you get it to shine like that. My red tank looks like crap, it's so scuffed up that it almost looks white in spots.

There are a few members on here that have experience repairing pipes. Hopefully one of them will chime in on this.

Ordered a new clutch cover gasket and kicker shaft seal, gonna set my ring gap tonight and put the top-end back together. As soon as my gaskets show up I can put the clutch cover/water pump together.

Well guys, it looks like you can count me in on this. We're moving back to MI next month and the ole lady gave me the go ahead. My buddy wants to come also (he rides a 400EX) and my bro-in-law might come and ride my Scrambler 400. We are planning on staying at Jellystone campground.

Engine and Bottom End / Top-end gasket kit question

« on: April 28, 2014, 12:52:10 PM »

I do like tinkering and so on, however right now I'm under a time crunch and just need to get this stock engine back together. I'm moving across country and don't want to move with the engine in pieces. Once I get settled in I might look into porting as well as a few other things.

Thanks guys. I think I'll just run one base gasket and switch to race fuel.

Engine and Bottom End / Top-end gasket kit question

« on: April 25, 2014, 04:27:40 PM »

So if I run race fuel I should only need one base gasket? Or should I run two so that the ports are raised?

Engine and Bottom End / Top-end gasket kit question

« on: April 25, 2014, 03:22:43 PM »

Ok so, I was looking at buying a top-end gasket kit from ct racing that had the cr250 head gasket and 2 base gaskets, description said 2 were needed. I called them to order it and they said they didn't have any left and that cometic had stopped making that gasket, that seemed a little odd but whatever. They also didn't have a 68mm piston. So I called LA Sleeve. They had a top-end kit with the cr250 head gasket but it only has one base gasket. I asked the guy about it, he didn't seem to know why I would need 2 base gaskets. I ordered the kit and 68mm piston anyway. So the question is: do I need 2 base gaskets when running a cr250 head gasket?

I must be confused. By RMATV you mean Rocky Mountain ATV, right? I cannot seem to find these on their website. Can you provide a link?
