Hi!, Rebuilding the head, and im putting the Circlips that go on the Valve guides, but the  INTLET valve  guide does NOT have a groove for the clip like the  intake All diagrams i looked at show 2 clips, one on each guide.

THANKS!

Well  apparently the Inlet valve guide fell some, Pic  attached below. Or is it supposed to be that way? ANY FEEDBACK WELCOME!

The inlet valve is lower than the exhaust, exhaust valve is closest.

I just watched a UTUBE vid, this guy had a Briggs and Straton, one guide actually got pushed up higher tha the other one, and it was the intake, just like mine.....

The Guy in the video said he put red loctite on it, but it only lasted a few months, so he put a brand new head on it, and it solved the problem, but i hate to buy a new head after, re seating the valves ,and getting the spring  compressor etc..

These are the ORIGINAL guides. Well it actually i found does have groove, and its at the very bottom of the valve that fell.

But im not sure if the guide got pushed up, or pushed down??

It'll definitely cause problems by running it like that.

Are they upside down maybe? In the picture, the tall one sticks up a bit. 

I can't see why they'd be uneven. There's a lot of reasons why they'd be even though. So let's assume they should be even. 

But shouldn't the main part of the guide be in the head. It would make more sense that way. Typically the guide sticks up just a bit. Like a nub. And the o-rings are down inside.

      Most of us complain about the ridiculous noise in the cabin. My wife likes to ride but the noise is a major downer. You can’t even have a conversation without shouting at each other. Well, I manage to reduce the cabin noise by approx 200%!

      I addressed the intake that is poorly placed right between the driver and passenger. First, I cut the air filter inlet pipe in half (pic 1). I then reinstalled it upside down (pic 2). I then attached a flexible intake tube (pic 3) and directed it behind the cabin (pic 4). Major difference.
       
      Then I covered the interior engine cover with Dynamat extreme and then 200 mil Chaogang sound deadener / heat shield mat on top of that (pic 5). Since I cut off the intake and redirected it, I completely closed off the intake (engine fence) so no engine noise can come thru (pic 6). It also reduced the heat approx 50%. I did leave on the heat mat that came stock on the engine cover, so it has 3 different mats. It was a snug fit. Major difference again.

      My wife rides all the time now since we can have a conversation when we ride. Major improvement to my riding experience. Thought you might like to check it out.

      Got a 2021 Axis 500.
      I'm needing the head bolt torque specs.
      Manual states 38nm.
      But saw a video Hisun put out on YT for a 550 stating 50nm + 45° turn of wrench. Didn't think they would be that much difference on a 500 and a 550.
      Seen another YT video on a 2013 500. He did 38nm.
      Really only want to do this job once and done. And done correct.
      Anybody got the answer?
      Going to start this rebuild in a few once this weather brakes. Flooding and then snow and cold here now. But spring is around the corner and the wife has to have this fixed or a Honda pioneer may be parked in driveway soon. She has to be able to ride.

      I have a Coleman Outfitter 550 purchased in January 2022 that runs and operates pretty well.  65 hours on it so far.   It is a work vehicle for my 10 hilly acres with two 1 acre woods and 5 acres of "lawn".  The rest is under a lake. 
      My parking brake does not seem to have any grip.  It worked when new but after a month or so, it is just almost useless.     I press the parking brake pedal hard until it stops. Still, it won't hold even on slight inclines.   I don't see the caliper move as I press the brake pedal down.  There seems to be plenty of pad left on it and the rotor is shiny as if it is rubbing a little when applied, but not enough to stop it from rolling. 
      Any thoughts on possible causes?

      I'm 99.9% sure head gasket is blown.
      Don't have coolant in oil. That a good thing. But think coolant is getting in combustion chamber. 
      I did compression test.
      Got 120psi walked away. Came back to 105psi 15 minutes later.
      How hard is it to replace?
