I am about to attempt a head gasket repair and have zero clue as to how to execute this. I have done some research, made some phone calls and gotten some advice on here. I am hoping that I can post pictures and ask questions and in the end through the collaboration we can provide a guide for others who may need to undertake this task.
This YouTube video seems to provide a good overview of how to tear the motor down. The first thing I am wondering is how far do I have to take it apart?
First this may seem like a stupid question but, is this the head gasket? It looks like the part:
Also, is that where I would stop taking things apart or do I have to go deeper?

On my ’07 grizzly 450 the rear axels, where they go into the diff., are wet with grease. I’ve looked at all the drawings on different parts sites but can’t seem to find the part numbers for the seals, or o-ring, that I need. Anybody know what I need?
Thanks for the help.

I put a new one way clutch bearing in my grizzly 660 I was told it would only turn one way, it’s not real easy but I can turn mine backwards with primary clutch on by hand I haven’t put the belt on yet. it’s a after market bearing so I probably wasted my money
Sorry for being new and immediately asking for help. I do intend to contribute too when I can.
So here is what happened and I was hoping someone could help me figure out how to resolve this chain of events.
I bought a 2005 Grizzly 660, I cleaned the carb and put a new spark plug in it, it was running great, I noticed a radiator leak and proceeded to flush the radiator, it was pretty nasty. I flushed a lot of water through it and pulled the pull start without starting it to work the water through the whole system and drained it multiple times. The whole time I was doing this I didn’t know the water pump was leaking. This caused the motor to literally fill up with water to the point that I couldn’t turn it over with the pull starter anymore. When I couldn’t pull it anymore I removed the carb and spark plug and pulled it over and water came out of both the spark plug and intake. The pressure actually loosened the spark plug a bit.
I pulled the waterpump, oil plug and filter and let it drain for 4 days while the new water pump came, now I have the new water pump installed and put 1qt ATF and 1qt oil in and worked it through with the hand crank. While doing this water is still coming out of my spark plug hole (it’s a mist now, and isn’t as strong).
I have a pretty good grasp on keep changing oil until it isn’t milky to clear the bottom end and would appreciate any tips if anyone has them on how to improve this process. However my main question is how did the water get into the top end from the water pump leak? Does it mean there is damage to something internal?
1)I’ve been trying to find information about how the clutch’s work on a grizzly 660. I didn’t find much except spring and shims but no explanation on how all they work and what they do. I have never torn into one and if its that’s involved in the motor and drive I usually have somebody else do it for me.
2) I purchased a 08 grizzly 660 and just got done putting 26" swamplites on it. I feel like it lost power in the low end but it is still there in the top end. I don’t have a need to go super fast but would like there to be more torque at least enough to get the front wheels up and off the ground and spin the tires when I do get into the mud so if I get a kit what should I really look into
Any information helps and is very much appreciated this site has never led me astray thanks in advanced
Recently added a set of 28" mega mayhems to my grizz and needless to say they sucked out a lot of power. Need to do something to combat this but can’t go for a machined clutch at the moment so I was thinking of adding shims, probably 1.0mm, but was wondering if it was completely necessary to change out the secondary spring for a stiffer one.
I ordered some slugs about 10-11 days ago and got a confirmation on the order, but no shipping info, as in shipped or expected to ship on xxx date. I have no tracking info either. I have sent a couple emails with no response and also called last week. I was told they shipped on Thursday (4-16-15), and I should have them possibly Saturday but most likely Monday (4-20-15). I was also told I should get an email with tracking info. I haven’t yet and it is Wednesday. She did say they had some issues with the computer setup and had just become grandparents so my order had not shipped as fast as usual. I am not complaining, just curious on what the average turn around time for sluggs ONLY from JBS is. I am in North Florida for location info. Not a complaint, just wondering if I should be worried they are lost in transit, or if there is usually no follow up email with shipping info sent out on the orders. Thanks.
