hey guys, there's a rattle that sounds like it's coming from my trans on the shifter side. Sounds just like a bolt or something is rolling around in there. Is that a normal sound ya think? IDK but I don't like it. LOL Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

I was thinking the same thing. cant get my copper head gasket to stop leaking either. Leak down test shows good. IDK, think I may have to o ring it and fugedaboutit. LOL

I've had the head off four times. Lmao. I resurfaced the head, annealed the copper gasket, cleaned with scotch bright and acetone really clean,  sprayed it with copper spray, three coats and torqued head as manual specifies. The only thing I can figure is cylinder needs to be resurfaced. Gasket was stuck to head well and not cylinder so much, which leads me to believe it leaked at cylinder. I'm installing a cometic head gasket when it comes in. I got some three bond 1211 too, as someone suggested. I think the rattling could be my skid plate or nerf bars. I'm taking them off to verify before removing clutch cover, I guess. Lol. I should've rebuilt this motor myself instead of taking it to a local shop or better yet, sent it to Carl or Jerry.

The copper head gasket will leak unless you use a sealer like 3bond 1211 or ultra gray.

Figured out the rattle noise. The idle gear shim and circlip was off. Circlip had some material missing too, probably beat up my clutch. I need clutch plates, basket ect.... Any suggestions? OEM?

I ordered all oem. New everything, Like $517.00 LOL Screw it.

That quad is sweet!

My son bought it for $3200. Put another 3200 into it in chassis bearings, powder, steering stem, brake lines, motor rebuild. 4 hours later motor went. I'm rebuilding it myself this time. Lol. Another $1000.00 in parts. Replacing all the bearings and seals. Bore, piston and rings, crank balanced. Sucks. Lol
