The experts have seen it before, but for the rookies here are some pics of the rebuild - done in the UAE:

 

The shop:

 

 

The mechanics:

 

 

The quad:

 

The engine:

 

And this is how it's done - first, clean so I can eat my curry straight out of it.

 

Lower carrier:

 

Upper carrier:

 

Slap in the gears, see if they turn - check neutral:

 

Add the crankshaft:

dude did you guys just put used pistons on that? why whats the point of the rebuild then?

[prossett]

Yeah, with a few basic tools and following the repair manual, I'd say it's within anyone's reach. I hadn't taken the engine apart myself so I wasn't sure, but looking back it really was pretty simple.

 

New pistons buddy.

 

Instead of Yamabond the guys used a tube of car windscreen gasket.
