Project X E5: Picking Up the Engine Pieces

Last week, we were finishing the engine teardown so we could install the new cylinder jug and rings (among other things) to bring the compression back to specifications. This week, we are going to get it all back together and installed in the Polaris chassis and hopefully get it started. But before we do that, we will be replacing both the intake and exhaust valves in the cylinder head as well as installing a new coolant temperature sensor. The parts we use for this project are supplied by Bronco ATV & UTV Components.
