engine rebuild questions

[speedped79]

ok my 93 warriors been puffing blue smoke and it was getting worse and worse so today i tore it down. my cylender is perfect not one scratch but my valves are covered with burnt oil and the top part of the head had oil in it idk if its supposed to or not. the piston and rings look good too. so what was causing my smoking? also when i put new rings on where do the gaps face? and is there any other info that would be helpful to me when reassembling my motor

Um i would rebuild your head. And change your rings. Make sure you ring gaps do not line stight up and down.

so i just scatter the gaps so they dont align with each other?

they have to be at 3 different positions.... 3 oclock, 6 oclock and 9 oclock....u should be able to dl a service manual to see which goes where...i forgot from when i did mine.

i have a clymer at home but it didnt mention it too much

the last ring set i bought had a picture showing what ways to face the gaps, but like metioned earilier 3,6, and 9 are about right.

ok so i need rings gasket kit and valve seals this sounds good right?

you should get directions with new rings ......3,6,9,......but just because your cylinder isnt scratched up doesnt mean its ok, have it checked with a micrometer it could have a bad taper i had one jug tapered .007 you may want to have it bored 1 over . piston and machine work should be around 150 or get valves done for another 80 ............ your there now you should just spend a little extra and know you have a new motor.........

well im pretty low on funds and rings are 33 gasket kit is 20 and valve seals are 15
