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.

in other words, something's locked up.

ok so I was trying to turn the engine over to get it back in time... the pull-cord wont turn it over...?

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... )

yes I got it out after I took that pic.  Everything is out except the valves.  (rockers are out too)

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) 😞

He has gotten the head off. The cylinder sleeve is on the bike. That's what I see from his pictures.

Didn't find a joint.  Pounded it pretty hard from different angles.

You will definitely need the cam and rocker assembly out of your way.

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...

So, I'm having trouble getting the tool into the hole because the valves are so far down..  help?

and let us know how the Kodiak 700 performs and hold up!  I love those machines, cant afford'em tho 😕  Nice!!

I'm not close to u guys tho- live in southwest VA

Ok- here goes nothin..  lol

got the valve compressor.  So I just take the valves out and replace the seals and the put them back in?  Anything else?  Any extra tips?

I'm working on it tomorrow.  I'm gonna try to find a valve compressor today.

yea I got 25" bighorn style tires on it so It works pretty good- I wont spin unless I beach it..

yeah I dont know how the 2wd would do in snow though...
