Uncle Buck Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Looking to pull out the engine on my 1986 XT 350 early next year and renew the piston, rings etc. I've ordered full gasket set and valve stem oil seals. What other parts do I need or are worth changing while the engine is out of the bike? Any advise would be gratefully received. Thanks Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Buck Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 That'll be cool. I want to collect all the parts ahead of passing it over to be rebuilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He"ll chime in soon with info,,, Dont drag me into it , im a virgin when it comes to 350 as its one of the XT's i havent had, if its the same design as the 600 then yes the rod has worn and will need a full rebuild. XT motor is simple to work on as long as you have the tools and its best to do what your doing in buying bits as you go on, clutch plates, cam chain,internal bearings if the moror has a full strip as well as oil pump parts, there will be a long list but you wont know exactly what you need until its in bits.
