Welcome back Bri!

Those chrome shocks would look pretty, but from a Harley, don't know about they're performance offroad...

 

Oh yeah, 3 more days till Alaska............[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/beer.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/devil.gif[/img]

 

One more day boys!!! Wish ya'all were goin with me!

I'll post pix when I get back!

 

I just picked up an 87 or 88 230 quadrunner 4 stroke for 250 bucks. The only prob is that it smokes when its running. What is a ballpark estimate for a top end rebuild?

 

hey busted are you familiar with e-bay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...trksid=p3756.m20.l1116 this is a good deal and so is this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...trksid=p3286.m20.l1116 of course if you can afford it I would get the wiseco piston kit, but that is your cheapest rebuild provided the cylinder is good. P.S Welcome to the forum.


POOLGOD TO ALASKA !!!! YEA _HA

 

I m prety sure the cly is good b/c it runs great but just smokes like a bast***. Theres a kit on e bay that gives you the head piston and gaskets, rings for 170. Does that sound right? Also If I pull the head off will I have to re adjust the valves and cam? These small motors are new to me. Im used to V8's lol

I bought that same kit, good deal, but just a standard piston... Once I put in a hi compression weisco, much better!!!!

I am out of here for 2 weeks!!! Have fun kids!!! Hopefully I'll have HUGE fish pix for ya all when I get back!

 

Ok some more questions. When I take the top end apart is there a chain that runs through the motor? Will I have to take the cam out? Adjust the timing? How involved is the rebuild? Me and a buddy are going to do this. He knows pretty much but he says the 4 strokes suck b/c theres a chain and valves to adjust etc.
Any help is appreciated. This is my first top end rebuild. Pics help if you have some.
