Well the thing is about torque them down, For one, they're 16 yrs old, 2 you cant buy replacements if one snaps off....

What are y'alls thought on loctiting these bolts, Crankcase cover bolts and head bolts? @kenfain

Yeah, My brother, and a friend of ours have used Ted's for LOOONG time. Always reasonably priced. I called and they said, he has the tools to remove/install, but since it's a small utv he might not can do it. But i have a back up company, Power Toys of Texas, they said they might could do it too. New head was 200, before shipping and tax. When im done, im taking it to our mechanic and he said he'll be more than happy to inspect my work. I could make a calendar.

I contacted Our local machines shop, Ted's Engine repair, he said he's not 100% sure if he can do it, since it is a smaller head. I m gonna take it to hm tomorrow and see he can, take em out. And then what i'll do if he can take em out, i ordered a new guide (s) because they wore past the service limit (measured today), so i'll have new ones he can put in too.

Nope didn't work. Scarred up part of the da#@ guide. I guess i have to shell out 150 for the new head (Repeat customer discount).....THANKS though.

Not loose i should say...

Is the battery ground wire grounded good the frame?? @uponahill

What is a valve guide arbor? Do you use it to remove the guides. If not, how would I remove a guide.

You might could contact a local dealer??

Haven't tried it yet. Just now got home.

Thanks Kenfain!

THANKS FOR ALL THE FEEDBACK!!!

Decided on Castrol GTX 10W40 conventional. Walmart 4 $ a bottle!!

NIGHT! One final point, i need a valve guide arbor to get them out according to the manual, but its a SPECIAL TOOL.

I found a video, where the guides where uneven, and the tallest one wasn't letting the intake go down far enough cause the top of the valve spring kept hitting the guide... I think we can call this case closed. Verdict i believe is. The tallest is the guilty party. What do you think gentleman of the jury ?

That's what seems right me....

Here is a diagram http://www.kawasakipartshouse.com/oemparts/a/kaw/500b24b0f8700223e478dbed/cylinder-head

But im not sure if one got pushed down, or the other got pushed up...?

YES
