Welcome to the forums. Concerning the valves, usually you can get by with just replacing the valve stem seals, but you will need to check the valves to make sure they are sealing good and aren't bent when you remove the head.
Welcome to the forums. Concerning the valves, usually you can get by with just replacing the valve stem seals, but you will need to check the valves to make sure they are sealing good and aren't bent when you remove the head.i am thinking of buying a 2001 sporttrax 250 that has a blown top end. I know it needs to be bored and a new piston, but i was wondering if i would have to rebuild the valves. I also want to know what would cause a 4 stroke top end to go out.. Thanks for any responces
