I know there are many post about the fix kits for the pros, I have read many of them on various sites, I would just like to start my own and get some advice first hand rather than taking bits and pieces from a bunch of posts. Thanks in advance for any help.
so I just bought a 2013 pro 800 off my dad, the sled has 2700 miles on it. It's virtually mint my dad can ride but he's not overly aggressive. I did a compression test and I'm reading 118-120 psi on both sides, and sled runs perfect never had an issue. I'm going to install the mtntek fix kit just because of the mileage, I've never done one before but I'm good with a wrench and do my research.
So im just wondering if there are tricks and tips that I might not know or missed while doing my research. I have read some ppl are turning up the oil pump, some say one full turn others say 3. Anyone know for sure which it is?
Also can anyone confirm torque specs for jugs and head bolts? I know to check piston tolerance and ring gap. Silicon on head bolt when I reinstall, I also read that putting the front of the sled on some milk jugs to help with any coolant locks. I'm getting the jug honed once I get it off and make sure it's in good shape. I should coat everything with oil on install aswell? Just to have the extra oil for start up, is that correct? Replacing all upper gaskets/o-rings, or are they reuseable? I can't think of anything else at the moment but am hoping someone can confirm the info I have already. Again thanks in advance for any advice or tips thank you
