440ex reliability
For all you 440ex owners out there I was wondering how reliable your quads are. If anyone has had to rebuild a 440 how long did it originally last. I've had my kit in for a year now with some pretty hard riding and it is still running good as new.

My 440ex had 5-6 races on it than it blow a head gasket but that was because one of the head bolts came lose. Put got it fix in it is running very good.

Well, I havent gone against any of the quads yet. When the weather gets better, I'll be getting some guys to run my EX for a drag or two. I've mentioned this before, but Chuck, a good friend who is also a motor builder, ran it and his words were that it pulled like a 686 Raptor. I simply can't believe the power. I was so happy I went out and purchased new plastic and a bunch of new billet parts for it!
I think if a guy were to follow what I did, he couldnt go wrong. That 13:1 JE piston is amazing. Its nice cuz I run the same race gas now as the DS with the 14:1 in it. Sometime in the future I'll have to dyno it.
