Thanks I just got a ring Kit and will have to grab a piston Kit the head is now all polished but I still need a clutch removed tool ... I really want to do the frame clip because PC the better a arms as shocks ... Will I need to convert the steering stem to a 450 one or could I keep mine

If you stick with the original frame (weld and all), be sure to reinforce the upper shock mounts.
It's a very common place for the 85-86 frames to crack, right behind the shock mount...if you look close there might already be a crack starting there.
The simple solution is to run a bar or tube between the two shock mounts so they won't bow inward under load.
A YFZ450 front clip is pretty involved, be sure that's what you want to do and that you have all the tools needed beforehand.

That piston looks pretty scorched. I would do a whole top end on it and replace the oil seals for starters. Dont forget to do a leak down test after its all back together. Cheap insurance, especially for an engine that has that much age on it.

I just finally got my engine out of my 85 lt org everything all stock even stock bore but the swing arm is beat **** in 5 spots carrier is so beat up won't even hold a barring there is a weld on the frame "looking into grabbing a yfz 450 frame for front clip" the weld is where the right a arm is good brakes good wheel bearings plastic is stitched only payed 250$ for the quad and the oil seals are bad so I took the head off tonight looked good except a brown like burn mark under the rings???? Maybe should I replace the rings?? Staring to polish the motor should have more pix soon
