Google for "raptor oversized valves".

Nice. I might stop where I'm at currently I want to be able to compare from one or two upgrade to another. That is why i'm holding off on the port/polish to see how she feels before wasing the money on that

Your piston came today. I can bring it to you or whatever. Let me know.

Maybe I missed this in one of these posts but the hotcam stage2 cam does in fact require a stiffer spring kit. The reason for sending in the head would be because it requires the center intake valve guide to be cut down. Due to the increased valve lift the cam provides, the valve keeper would come in contact with the valve guide if it's not machined down. Again, sorry if this has already been posted, but I would hate to see someone drop in a stage 2 cam and have catastrophic engine failure.

You are correct! :-)

Update

05/31/05

South Valley finally got the motor apart, found the top cap on the left carb to be cracked which was why I noticed it ran like crap.

They reported the 3 intake valves needed to be replaced. I told them to also replace the other 2 valves as I don't want 3 of 5 to be new I want them all to be. They also had to get valve stem gaskets for me as I forgot to get them.

Other than that we are on track after 160 dollar problem for 1 stinking cap!!!!

So I guess everything pretty much has been replaced in the motor.

Yeah, the valve stem oil seals are poor on the raptor. I had to replace mine.

Ronnie, i sent you a pm regarding the carb cap

You can hope so, but I doubt it. Since I replaced them with OEM I'm sure they will be about the same good.

O-well the ones that were in it , were in good shape. They recomended changing them " in case" thats my kinda talk so I said sure go ahead and replace.

Glad they were at least able to get it figured out!

**Woody_YZF** · #94 06-01-2005, 01:38 AM

So when will your quad be done?

They say next week 6th - 10th.

Due to the broken carb cap that almost set me back a little bit.

This answers my post in the other thread. The answer would most be no
