it was bound to happen sooner or later......carvin up a meadow in some fresh pow and it was like someone hit the kill switch!!! cant complain bought sled used and have put over 3000 hard kms of mountain and powder riding......time for a refresh anyhows :d

Ouch!!!.. Piston skirt completely distroyed Clean out the crank case the best as possible. Lots of goodies down in there. Blow out the junk with an air compressor. If you want to be sure that you rid yur crankcase of any debrete, pour a bit of gasoline into the crankcase and then blow it again with yur air compressor. Use a magnet to collect any junk... only the ring parts will stick, but they are the most harmful if left down there after a rebuild.

Lookin at yur pics of that mess... yur probably in the need of 2 new jugs, and a new head? Not to mention pistons and rings ofcourse. More then a "refresh" to say the least. All the best with yur rebuild and I hope you get some some great deals on parts. It's always fun to rebuild... it's the expence that sucks Enjoy

thanx i think it looks worst than it is...oh yes the cases are bein split and totally cleaned gonna prob get crank rebearinged....one jug has got one bad gouge in it and the head took a little peppering but not as bad as u would think....rotary valve is toast too as piece of piston went into intake and valve came around and...well u know....lol hopefully can bore 20 over and put new pistons in and retape the flappy thing to the bars again :d:d

Just curious what its going to cost to rebuild I have a 98x to. can you repost some info on the rebuild and costs when your done? thanks

 

[meierjn]

I had to rebuild my 670x last season after the crankshaft went. It took the crankcase with it. Surprisingly, the top end didn't look too bad! I found a used crank case. I had the top and bottom end rebuilt. When all was said and done it was around $2300.

If you get jug from mongoose make sure it is champed, got one for my '03 900, rebuilt it, sold it, new owner put 2 miles on blew again, brought it into D&D they said it wasn't champed, called mongoose was told he personally watched him champ it( how he new it was same jug) they wouldn't back it.

You might have to replace the brass gear on the rotary-valve shaft. If debris got caught in the valve the brass gear is often damaged. Some shops will also tell you to check/replace the shaft as they can bend under the stress.
