Engine pulled...what all should I replace?

[BenCrockett]

Pulled the engine on my 2005 900 to resolve what I think is an injector issue. What all should I replace and upgrade before I drop it back in? This is my first 900, I've heard that a lot of parts need upgrading, but don't know which ones and what to replace them with. So far, after reading the 900 forum, I am planning on getting the injectors flow tested and cleaned, getting mounts from CompFusion, putting a new harness on the TPS, adding SLP's torque and push arms, replacing the intake boots, and the pull cord. Anything else I should consider?

Thanks for helping.

-replace all engine mounting hardware with grade 8 bolts
-billet engine mount cross member from Franz
-replace rear engine mounts with 06 mounts
-FBF throttle cable
-upgrade to 06 pistons if it hasn't been done
-secure cross shaft lube fitting with a bracket
-if any bushings or joints are loose on your steering stem, now is the time to take care of them.
-new fuel, and oil filters

Looks like a good list, I'd just add an FBF throttle cable and call it good

Check the steering rod ends from the steering post to the bellcranks... this can only be serviced with the engine out of the sled.

Check, carefully, the coolant hoses for any rubbing... the same goes for the wiring harness... wrap and add chafe protection where needed.

Also...CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN

one more thing

I would also remove the bottom bolts from the recoil hsg because with the engine in its a bit** to get them out if the rope happens to break or something else lets go. Or at the very least make a point of entry (hole) to get them out. Any objections to this advice? If so let me know.

Actually that is recommended procedure to either remove or notch the frame for the bolts that would be hidden. I believe there are 2 on the 05 that would be inaccessible.

I always thought about drilling acess holes in the frame, so that I could access the lower recoil bolts. But iwas hesitant to risk weakening the frame that close to the engine.
