Do you have to pull the motor to change the head gasket on a 1986 300 Bayou or is there enough room to do it with the motor still on it?

 

I have done this with the engine still in atv......Sholdnt have any problems...

 

That's good to hear. I was hoping I wouldn't have to pull the motor like I had to on my brother's Yamaha.

 

Does anyone happen to know the torque for the cam gear bolt? I changed the head gasket this evening and it sounds great but I don't want to drive it until I'm sure I have it tight enough. It turned out that the head gasket itself was fine but 2 out of 3 of the o-rings between the head and cylinder were damaged and that's where the oil was leaking from.
