Picture cleared up a misconception I had! I was unaware that the 1000 had an oil pan that unbolted! The 700 just has a sump cover! Keep going Bubba! Looks like the end is in sight!

Well got it all put together today hopefully I can drop it in tomorrow an see what she's about been a long day but I might have finally learned the Arctic cat 1000... Won't let me upload a picture will try later thanks for all the help

Congrats Bubba! Go ride tomorrow!

Secondary clutch shaft has some in an out play. My other engine doesn't have any I looked online an the thundercat 1000 have that problem they say up to a quarter of a inch so that's what kept me from having it drop in ready. prolly another 30-45 min worth of work she'll be ready to drop in. Goin to run rotella t6 5w40 a few times to flush the engine real good an change the filter a couple times. The engine I got heads were trashed looks like it got sunk but kept all the water an mud in the cylinders but I put my heads Pistons new rings an gaskets an everything sealed up just need to finish a few little things an I'm goin to shoot for having it turn key ready by this evening had a lil cold front come in an no heat in my shop so I'm goin wait for it to warm up a lil before I go out there.

Hope it runs great for you.......

It's running like its brand new only issue I'm having is out of the shift cable it was getting dark so I kinda gave up for yesterday but I did manualy shift into all the gears an drive it around a lil... Seems like the cable is buckeling when I shift from low to reverse keepin it in low.. Has anyone ever came up with there own shift mech. For these machines doesn't look to hard an it's gotta be better then the stock setup

Some of the 650's had a mechanical linkage that might work! I thought about eliminating the cable, but after freeing it up, and adjusting it, it has been trouble free! Any load on the trans, and these things almost refuse to shift gears. When bound up, I bleep the throttle a little then shift. Glad to hear your work paid off!

No bind on gears I think I may try an adjust it this evening it was getting late an I prolly overlooked something. An soon as it's ready I'm takin off work an goin riding lol

You deserve a ride! Keep telling yourself that! LOL
