1997 Kawasaki Bayou 300 2x4 (klf300b) Runs Bad
JacobSlabach replied to JacobSlabach's topic in Kawasaki ATV Forum
the cylinder is loose and it slides freely on the piston so I dont think thats the issue..? -

ok. I took the head off and losened the cylinder and pulled it up a little so the rings would still stay compressed. The cylinder moved pretty freely up and down. I also shined a light down the timing chain and around the crank. no kinks. -

checked that it was in neutral. I kept the engine covered the whole time I was working on it and no I made sure I didnt drop any clips or anything when I had the cylinder off. -

nope. I was trying to turn the crank and piston to get the bottom end back in time and then connect the timing chain. -

ok thanks! I have replaced both valve seals and put back together with grease. Anything else I should do before reassembling the bike? -

So I got the intake valve out and it has a lot of buildup on it. I cut a piece of conduit pipe out and used it as an extension as shown in the pic: (diy ig... ) -

thanks. The head is separated from the cylinder. I couldn't get to the bottom of the valves if it was still attached. -

cam is out. I got one of the rockers out but the other one is stuck. And I still cannot get the valve compressor to reach down the valves. The new cylinder that I got is on the bike. The old one is in the recycling. Ok. how do I download it? -

I have out the screws and bracket holding the cam in- just dont know how to pull it. Same with the rockers. I got 90 days with the valve compressor tho and tomorrow afternoon (tho its gonna be colder here) 😞 -

This is what I have- the top part is the head, and I dont think it comes apart. -

and what is an adjuster nut? Is that what is used to adjust the valve clearance? -

I looked for a crack that would hint at a separation but I dont see anywhere that could come apart... -
