the nicks and scatches are most likely from crank bearing coming apart. you can but a new crank assy. from wiseco for $180

you will need to fix the threads as bagds101 said heli coils suck I used solid thread inserts

Yamabond 4 is semi-drying and Yamabond 5 is a drying type. From the specs Yamabond 5 is the stronger of the two and meant for engine cases either should work fine

I used hondabond-4 on my rebuild as long as its a semi-drying sealant I don't think it matters.

the pics of the piston indicate detonation to me and or something coming apart in the botom end of the engine. does the surface of the cylinder head look about the same? the piston should be smooth on top with a bit of carbon build up and not looking like it was cleaned by dragging it accross...

I have a whole box of fronts and rears and will have the complete front system that need one set of shoes on the left and the rights are new,, I'm grinding out the warriors upper ball joints and puting them into a spare set of blaster arms and next time out I will be full hydro!!

off idle is pretty much set WOT seems to be lean, when I let back off the throttle a bit it picks up better

well I'm just going to finish up the rear hydro's and try to unload it, the blaster takes up to much space and my kdx can do everything the blaster can 10x better and 100x smoother...except those awsome power slides maybee i can get what I paid for it...maybee I can sell just the engine what...

Hey I finally got the blaster out on some trails ( Doc Hilts Trails) in Alabama and noticed when running down the trails the blaster would dart off one way or another and was really a handfull keeping it straight, I have my wheels about zero toe in or out (straight ahead). when the trails...

yeah I know about the clips I did have the 280 in there stock with airbox lid on and it seemed on the rich end of things needle clip second from the top ...changed nothing except the air box lid removal and the fmf pipe ...had a chance to really ride on saturday and it really pulls hard even...

whoa I got the pipe on with the stock silencer w/ the end missing and it ran like crap, it was breaking up even after a good warm up but then remebered the air box lid I had taped up all the holes the PO had drilled in it I popped the seat removed the lid a WAMMO the blaster has ALOT more...

hey super nobber I see you have ny/ pa border on your profile I used to live around corry pa and will be traveling there in 2 weeks are you around there or around North East PA(a town above erie) long before your time we could go into ny state and drink beer while being under age in PA

good thinking man kdx's are nice I have one!! I used to ride an xt 600 in the woods/mud @ 360lbs dropping over 100lbs is real nice

+1 on the air leak another area to check for leaks is the crank seal behind the stator/flywheel.

if your going though the trouble of taking it apart you might want to get the cylinder measured and see if its ready for the next size up piston while your at it... you can get the new pro-x piston and machine work for $120-$150 if you shop around
