I smell gas. Let's rebuild a Leaky Fuel Valve / Petcock on a Kodiak. Fuel dripping on the engine!
I'll be working on a 2004 Yamaha Kodiak 400 today, but Yamaha used this valve in a large number of different machines. It is also identical to the 2001 Kodiak that I have, and I rebuilt that one later that same day!
Here's the link to the rebuild kit that I used:

Just remember, I had to re-use the original screws. The ones in this kit were a little shorter than the ones that I had.

How to Replace an Axle Boot in a Polaris ACE. A messy job, but worth the savings!
Переглядів 12616 годин тому
As I mentioned in the video, and as of 12/21/2024, there are no aftermarket replacement options for FRONT half shafts for a Polaris ACE, unless you have the HD version (struts up front instead of double a-arm). If you tear a boot, you basically have two options: 1 - Replace the axle. $250. 2 - Replace the boot. $25. The choice is clear to me! Let's make it happen. Here's the link to the replace...

    • @3DayWeekend
      @3DayWeekend 9 днів тому

      I have always re-used the cam bolts. The service manual I was following did not say that they must be replaced. Several others have commented on them being torque-to-yield, but you have to loosen them and tighten them several times to set the timing. I've never had one of those bolts break or loosen, so if I have to do another one of these engines, I will be reusing the cam bolts. Hope that helps!

    • @3DayWeekend

      I'm willing to bet that the last two codes are a result of the first code - C102A. If I recall correctly, Patriots have a tone ring in the hubs. I'd probably replace the left rear wheel hub, and throw a new wheel speed sensor at it (if they are relatively cheap) just to be safe. Once that's changed, clear the codes and drive it again to see what codes come back. Hopefully it's just a tone ring and you're home free!

    • @3DayWeekend
      @3DayWeekend 15 днів тому

      If you have blue smoke coming out of the exhaust, then it is quite possible you have bad rings. You could also have a bad turbo though. I'd do a compression test / leak down test first, then make a decision from there. You can also do a head gasket test, as that is a very common failure point in these engines. If the compression/leak-down test suggests an issue, then yes, you'll probably need to replace the piston rings. If compression/leak-down is good, then I'd be looking at the turbo first. Hope that helps!

      Thank you! I lost a transmission once due to too much slack in the chain. This is definitely a regular-maintenance type of adjustment. Those machines had terrible drum brakes. I was constantly replacing them. Do yourself a HUGE favor, and keep that machine away from mud/water as much as possible. The brakes do not respond well to moisture of any kind. The brakes are pretty simple mechanically, so it shouldn't take much to free up that lever. There's a large o-ring around the housing. I'd make sure that it is in good shape to help keep moisture out of there! Other than that, those machines were great, very reliable, and the kids loved them. I hope he enjoys it as much as my kids did!

In vid #1 you said there was a hole in the head that was actually causing the issues. was the head replaced then when you took it in to be tested or welded as this was not mentioned. asking because it looked to be the same head and it would seem you may end up in the same situation at some point. seems like a bad casting or is this a common issue with these heads.

    • @3DayWeekend
      @3DayWeekend 23 дні тому

      Yes, there was a hairline crack in the head between a coolant channel and exhaust port. When I took it to the machine shop, I had it hydro-tested. The test is what showed us the leak. I then went to my local salvage yard and was able to find a replacement head. I took the replacement head to the machine shop, had it tested, milled, and that is the one that I installed in this video. Of all the bad head gaskets I've run into with these engines, I've only had one cracked head. It doesn't seem to be a common failure, but it can happen. Great question! Thanks for watching!

    • @3DayWeekend
      @3DayWeekend Місяць тому

      Two different problems there. If it's not running, it could be a bad fan, blown fuse, bad relay, or faulty temperature sensor. If it's running late, there could be air in the system or perhaps a faulty temperature sensor... maybe a sticking relay. There could be other problems, but I'd say those would be a good starting point. A mechanic should have the tool to plug in and manually test the fan to rule out the fuse/relay/fan motor being at fault.

    Would this same chain be in a 2016 RZR 1000? Mine is making a rattling noise from the same place.

    • @3DayWeekend

      Yes, they do have the same chain setup. It's not the exact same chain, but same design. The tensioners are known to go bad in a 1000, so I'd start with that first. Especially if it's loud right at startup. That would be a quick, easy, relatively inexpensive fix. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

      It'll be running in tomorrow's video! I was hoping for just a broken cam chain, but no such luck. In hindsight, that engine has been run hard for 20 years, so I guess it was entitled to have some sort of issue. I'm just glad I got it running for him again!

    Thanks for the video, just 1 question. Would it not make more sense to put the cam timing plate in before you remove the head, or at least before you put it back on, Instead of turning to cams to line it up after you put the head on?

    • @3DayWeekend
      @3DayWeekend Місяць тому

      You definitely could if you wanted to. It doesn't really matter as long as you make sure the cams are in the right phase when you take it apart. I purposely left the cams out-of-phase when I took it apart to show what to do in case someone else does the same. You'll still be turning them to set the timing later, but at least you'll know they are in phase when you're ready to put it back together!

    If you use air instead of water it won't hurt the fins and blow dirt out like crazy, even oily dirt.

    • @3DayWeekend
      @3DayWeekend Місяць тому

      Really... I wouldn't think air could get through that oily mess. If I'm down near my air compressor next time I want to clean it out, I'll give it a try! Seems like a much cleaner alternative to spraying water in there, which results in me wearing it! Thanks for the comment and for watching!

      @@3DayWeekend It worked surprisingly well for me on an old 820 JD tractor. To do it effectively it must be removed. I reinstalled the radiator after pressure washing, but it still overheated because enough water pressure to get the oily dirt out was damaging. If the dirt is rock hard soak the radiator. I was amazed how all the dirt was blown out, and I was surprised how much more came out! Depending on how badly it's clogged, and how thick the radiator is you could get some blowback. My engine now runs without over heating.

    Wow I just found your channel earlier today because I was trying to diagnose my dads 06’ ram 3500 5.9l boost issues, and now I’m trying to diagnose my Chevy Cruze 1.4l turbos undiagnosable overheating issues and here we are again. You’re the man. I’ve replaced every component on the coolant system because they either broke, degraded or I was just trying to do anything to fix the issue so everything got replaced other than the temp sensors, I kept the OEM coolant cap because it was better the and heater core. I did do a flush on it, and I have purged the coolant system properly and it still overheats and boils the coolant. It’s my only car and it’s been down for 3 months because I can’t figure it out. I’m starting to wonder if there’s a head gasket leak or breach. If you or anyone in the comments has any ideas it’d be appreciated more than you could possibly know.

    • @3DayWeekend
      @3DayWeekend Місяць тому

      Hey there. It could very well be the head gasket. It is a very common failure point on these cars. If you wanted to test it first, Harbor Freight has a test kit available. You'll need the tester and the fluid. It's looking for compression gasses in the coolant. If the test fluid changes color, the head gasket is bad. Alternatively, you could take it to a shop and have them run the test. They shouldn't charge more than an hour of labor to run the test (it's a quick test), which is slightly more than the cost of the test kit. I'll cross my fingers that it isn't the head gasket for you, but it typically is with these engines. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching the different videos! Quite a coincidence to have you join for two different vehicles at the same time! I just wish it were under more favorable circumstances, and not for broken vehicles!

    Excuse me, but I am starting out in the world of automobile mechanics, and I would like to know the position of the connecting rod bearings, if the notches should be together or opposite, because the connecting rod has two notches where the connecting rod bearing is located.

      It has been a while since I was in there, but I just checked the service manual. It states that the markings on the rods and the flarings on the rod bearings must point to the transmission side. Hope that helps!

    How do I find out it’s 100% the head gasket

    • @3DayWeekend
      @3DayWeekend Місяць тому

      Two ways. If you're low on coolant and it isn't leaking externally in the engine compartment, it's your head gasket. If you'd rather run a test, Harbor Freight has a test kit. There are two parts - the test kit and the fluid. This will test for signs of combustion gasses in your coolant. If the fluid changes color, it's your head gasket. If you don't want to buy the parts, a shop will probably charge you an hour of labor to run the test. Hope that helps!

    Leak down test failed. Head worked new lifters, ringsvand pistons, among other new parts. Any ideas?

    • @3DayWeekend
      @3DayWeekend Місяць тому

      Since you had the valves out, were they lapped and sealing correctly now? Cylinder set to TDC? A brand new engine can have a little leak down, as the rings haven't set yet. You can test that theory by putting a little oil down in the cylinder. If all of them are doing it by about the same, that could be it. If just one cylinder has a big leak and the others are OK, turn the engine, try again, and if it's still happening, try the oil test. If it improves, you're looking at pistons/rings. If not, you're looking at valves/head/head gasket. Hopefully that helps!
