kdneo Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 I sent my shee into the shop because I had heave smoke coming out of the left pipe, and WAY less compresstion in the left cylinder, turned out to be 70, compared to the 125 in the right. Any way, the mechanic tore it open and recomened a new head gasket and rings. Now that means almost nothing to me, as I know little about motors, though I know what the head gasket is. He told me that after parts and labor it will cost about $280 that sound right??? Keep in mind I live in AZ so this is the busy time of year, and ATV parts are expensive here, because people need them so they can charge more. Thanks guys!

bigboybanshee Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 Well, considering a new top end kit (pistons, rings, all gaskets) runs 160 on ebay and takes a couple of hours to teardown and install, and then your done... the price you were quoted is a little high for me. But, if you don't have the tools and means to do it yourself, I guess 280 isn't too bad considering that's including troubleshooting the problem too. As long as you're willing to pay it, that's all that truly matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdneo Posted December 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 hehe, don't want to pay it, but it's either pay it or don't ride, so I guess I best pay it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdneo Posted December 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 ok, next question, what should a whole new top end cost???? I was told $400 out the door, including labor and tax, everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01bansheefox Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Not sure on a whole top end but if i were you, if it is $400 get a whole topend done, If one side is already bad the other im guessing would go soon to. Better get it done while its apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H250RHATER Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 a whole new top end for 400 sounds right if ur getting it bored and new pestons rings, and gaskets well keep in mind i live in nj i guess 400's pretty good if parts are expensive where u live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdneo Posted December 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 alright, thanks guys, just wanting to make sure I wasn't getting raped on this. Great to know I can always cound on the HQers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
. Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 go with the whole top end......top end kit will be 150, 100 for boring and that leaves 3 hours at 50 bucks an hour for labor.....thats about right.....go get the whole top end done, with compression difference like that you got some wear and tear on those cylinders.

kdneo Posted December 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 I am having a mechanic who works for one of the local shops do this as a side project. So I called a shop in town today to see what they would charge for the same work and they told me that it would cost $560 + tax!!! So I guess I am getting a pretty good deal, prolly about $200 cheaper! Not too bad, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
