I would like to talk person to person on the phone with someone about a 1997 400 sportsman or simular model. Cant find help here in South Carolina. Thanks Troy

 

Just about anyone here can help. Whats the question?

 

pop any ? you want and some of us can anserw it.Alot of us are experianced with the 400 2strokers.

 

Any of you have a manual that tells the head and cylinder bolt torque specs for a 1991 350L Polaris..
just had it bored and installed a 20 over piston. Got it back together just not sure what the head bolts should be torqued to and do not want to
mess it up after all the money spent to put it back together correctly...

 

According to my Clymer's manual 6-8 ft./lbs. I'm looking at a 1991 350L, 2-stroke and there are six of these bolts (the book says the size of them is 6mm) just to be sure we are talking about the same thing. Dosen't seem like much does it? But that's what I am seeing. Good luck.

 

Dang, I went with 35ft lbs guess I best back them down a bit.. and retorque them.. Thanks for the information..

 

If you put them at 35lbs leave them alone.

If you go back to 6 to 8 lbs it is a serious mistake. That book is WRONG.

 

I thought that it was wrong too. That's why I added the thing about the six (6mm) bolts. It even showed a torque pattern. Most cars that I have worked on have been 80-100ft./lbs. So I would have guessed something around 40. I've never had a 2-stroke that far apart but I do have an old clymers manual.........My bad. I just looked again and I was looking at the wrong thing. Cylinder head 17-18 and cylinder base 25-29 ft./lbs. It's on page 145 (table 2) if anyone wants to back me up on this. Sorry about the bum info earlier.

 

17-18 on the head and 25-27 on the base is correct. They are the same specs as the 400.

 

Thanks fella's with 2 of you coming up with the same specs I feel good about them..

Thanks again.. saved me the cost of a manual...
