Top end rebuild – 2011 Sportsman 500 HO

Hi. I finally was able to buy all the parts i needed for a top end rebuild on this quad. This is the first time I’ve ever done this type of repair.

Is there anything in particular I should be aware of? Tips? Tricks? Is there a Special tool to get the rings in the piston?

I’ve read many different break in processes. I just dont want to mess up the quad. I have a new piston, rings, cylinder, gaskets etc. All OEM standard bore.

Thanks in advance!
