i had 3 or 4 to get motivated to do the job, then 2 beers per deck, and another 2 per head. i'm having some cool down beers now then i think i'll continue with some post cool down beers. i'm about to hop on the RZR so i may have around 20-30 more tonight depending on how late we ride


i used a 3m disk on an air tool to clean most of it up.those little things are SO handy for stuff like gasket and carbon removal. scotch brite pad and wesleys bleach white along with some wd40 for the combustion chambers. .

they are just plastic so it doesnt hurt anything. makes this kind of work a breeze.

dealerships usually keep them in stock. that's where i get mine for free 1 disk goes a LONG way. tough little suckers. i've done 3 blocks and 3 sets of heads with this disk and it still has plenty of life.
