Just bought a Grizzly 700 (with 815 stroker kit installed).
There is an engine knock that i can’t identify. I pulled the clutch and started it and it is still there. It’s staring to look like it might be a rod knock. I wanted to get a second or third opinion before I started tearing the engine apart.
Here is a little background on the atv. It does smoke, burns oil. It was apparently in some pretty deep mud/water. The power steering unit was full of mud (had to be replaced). It has performance cams, polished head, ports, etc. It has a dynojet commander and autotune on it. It had radiator relocated and snorkels. I put the radiator back and removed the snorkels.
Here is a link to the video of it running:
add this to youtube link and you can see the video.
