Good Afternoon guys, this is my first post here and I thought I'd share some pics of the engine of my new raptor. I'll give a short history of the this Raptor,
My friend bought it brand new (2006 Special Edition). It's got an aftermarket intake (not sure on the brand), full GYT-R exhaust, K&N Air filter, a Power Commander, 2 inch wider (4 inches total) control arms, and aftermarket handlebars. He let a friend borrow it, and it came back with the engine locked up.
I paid $1000 bucks for it, figuring it was going to be a disaster after I tore it apart.. Well, it is. It looks like I'll be saving for a big bore kit soon. Any suggestions on what to get, and also what else to look for when I pull the engine the rest of the way out are welcome. Also, suggestions on pulling the pivot bolt out would be great. It's all I have left to pull the engine out.
The head looks good, but the cylinder is trashed, along with the connecting rod and I'm sure the camshaft needs to be replaced as well. It's scarred on the one side that I can see. I may wind up replacing the valves as well, you can see where they touch the piston on the piston, but there are no marks on the valves themselves. Anyways, enjoy the pics. :wow:
