I'm going into my '11 Grizz 700 to adjust valve clearance for the first time and when I button everything back up I'll be replacing all the gaskets / o-rings. The 5 I'll be replacing include (from the top down) both valve cover gaskets, cylinder head cover gasket, and the 2 gaskets in the crankcase cover. Do I need to coat these gaskets with motor oil before putting them on like when replacing your oil filter?

hey, me and a buddy have been working on his 2003 ltz 400 for a week or so now. He has bad compression and starting problems. We tore down the top end, expecting to find a bad ring or something along those lines, all of his rings were stuck shut inside the piston, we cleaned out the rings and ring seats, freed them up. Still bad compression.. So we tool the valves apart, found out that he had a couple of slightly bent valves, we replaced those, got the wheeler back apart, still low compression and wont start. During these tear downs, we did not replace the gaskets, as you can guess they are pretty worn by now. Is this leading to his compression problems? If not does anyone else have any suggestions, because im out of ideas . Thanks.
