I pulled my bottom end apart because the rod and bearings were sticking. I freed it up with silicone spray, lots of rusty crap in the bearings came out. I didn't want to chance it.

Ive got a full engine gasket and seal set coming next week when my cylinder is done. So i might pull it to look further and put the new center crankcase gasket in. It hasnt leaked. But knowin my luck, it will when i get it going again. So for now, i wont go about ordering anymore parts til i can open it further.
Ive had a barnett clutch for it since a month after i got it (early 2011). So theres some money i wont have to spend. Ordered Shindy valves, Kibblewhite guides, and a DID 25hx100 cam chain last night. Need to find a tensioner guide, mines wore more than i thought.
I pulled the clutch springs already, now am having a hard time removing the nut. Any tips on holdin the clutch still without a factory tool?

I've used a REAL copper penny one from 1982 or before( put between the gears behind,near clutch. You could also use a rubber
Strap car oil filter wrench. I think i have a few used tensioners i'll look tonight to see if there any good if u want.
Use a impact gun it'll spin right off(just make sure its in the right direction)
I think its a staked nut u have to use a steel point and bend out the little crease first if it is (i cant remember)

I tried holdin the clutch basket, but its the pressure plates that spin. The nut does appear to have been punched somehow

So they are left-handed threads? Righty loosy? Lol
And the valve guides- Manual says to heat head to 300* to drive out. Im guessin the same thing to install? Outta curiosity, what makes it so hard? We do this with pressed on gears in large diesel engines. Id kinda like to know what to expect before i destroy a $150 head

It's not hard, It's easy with the right tools!!
Does require some skill...
All our government does is distract us while they steal from us, misspend our tax $ and ruin our country
So heating the head and driving them out with a normal punch is not advisable? Should I just get the parts and have a shop do it? That way if it gets jacked, its on them?

That would be the safest way. I'd rather pay someone who knows what they're doing than ruin my head.
My new Kibblewhite valve guides should be in my mailbox now. Im waiting for the call that my cylinder and piston are done. When i go pick them up, ill take the head and guides. Ive got new Shindy valves coming. Will they need the valves to do the guides? Or will they go off specs?

Just curious, what was kibblewhites part# for guides? Was it 30-4069?
I know thats the # that i keep finding and says it'll fit 83-87 honda 200x but when i dig deeper, that part# does not fit
The fatcat or trx200sx (same as 86/87 200x) So im very curious, here's a couple pics-kibblewhites first, oem second/3rd
.
Do they look different or is it just me?
I know 99% of the time when they say fits 83-87 the parts won't work on 86/87.
Maybe im over thinking it?
Did the mail come yet? Do they look the same. Stem hole size? Hight off base plate?

Theyre still in the plastic, so im not 100% sure. But from what i can tell, the only difference is the Kibbles are tapered on the cylinder side. Possibly to block less airflow where they protrude into the ports ? Yes, correct PN

Talked to a coworker in the shop that used to build race engines in western KS. He says as long as the guides are the same OD, the height of the seal end wont matter unless it interferes with the keepers/top washer

Thats what worried me, the springs dont compress much but you"ll know pretty quick if they knock your keepers off.
Do the large and small spring fit guide same as oem fit?
I've never done guides, but i'll have to eventually get them done. I hope they work for u.
Im more or less thinking out loud through you, hope its ok.
