800 top end rebuild?

[dfrank]

Can anyone steer me to some good reading on rebuilding the top end on my '01 Summit 800?

Seems this must have been discussed in detail here, but I couldn't find much with my searching skills.

What info do you need I have lots. Rebuilt a 7 and 8 last year.

I probably just need to know that I should sell the damn thing for parts and be done.

Seriously, the post is asking about where to read up on what's involved in rebuilding the motor. I know it needs a top end. Not sure if it should get more.

To my customers, I always recommend searching out Big John (John Wilmer) at http://www.sledheadracing.net/products/index.html
I've run his parts, my customers run his pistons and I like the fact that he is a smaller business that has the capacity to take the time with each of his customers, tailoring something specific "engine wise" to their application.

We've also been blessed to run on the dyno with John's trail torquer kits.
On example 04/800HO, reveal 2~3 hp through whole midrange rpms of 5350~7500 rpms to which that just means more torque available at your thumb when you are grabbing throttle.

Call him up, great to talk to and have a lot of questions for him.

Thanks all. Especially thanks to Cntrvl Sledder for all the links to old posts. Not sure why those didn't show up in my search, but it happens.

No idea what I will do yet...
