one last question......what are the torque specs (in ft lbs) for the Polaris 250 head.

 

18 to 20 foot pounds

 

my 02 service manual says 18-20ft. lbs make sure u use a criss cross sequence
in 3 steps like, 7 then 14 then 19ft. lbs

 

That was a great job you did on the Polaris 250 cylinder bore.
Nice cross-hatch pattern on the hone. It started right up with
the electric starter and runs great. I highly recommend your
services and fast turn-around.
