Rebuild?

[btrainsa]

I have a 2006 Uly with 103,000 miles. It is starting to get excessive valve noise. i"m planning on rebulding the heads and installing to lifters. Should i stick to just rebuilding the heads or should i just do a complete rebuild of the engine while i have it that far?

Whole thing....if something let's loose in the bottom And happens to get to the head work you already did them it's money wasted....nice job running that many miles....ride it till it pops

^ what he said

Good point, i didn't think about that. We'll see what the bill runs.

103k? Does he get the trophy for the highest mileage XB?

Would have to be the highest mile XB for a trophy, and it's not. Not even in the top numbers probably not even top 20-50.

I'd suggest complete overhaul. My buddy has an 08 motor which you could retrofit that crank into your motor fairly easy.

I have a good crank out of an 04 xb12s if interested, bolts right in. $250+ shipping.
Heads, cylinders, anything all bolts right in from any other 04-07 XB12 motor

im going to have to baby it for a little bit. i have a few bills i need to take care of before i start this overhaul. I'll have to call on my little Blast to pick up some of the slack until then.
