HI Temp HD8
I have a clean radiator, have replaced my thermostat assembly, can feel the fan pulling air past my fingers over the grill, I have replaced the coolant with Nulon, followed bleeding procedure in the owners manual. I have also checked that the water pump impellor is not damaged and that it turns when the engine runs.
The coolant tank was replaced under warranty, at 8 months age, because it became brittle and broke. My new tank now 7 month old has also changed so the coolant level is no longer visible through the tank. I believe my Defender has been heating since new but is gradually getting worse, now the hi temp warning is coming on after about 1 hour running, usually when running at idle while stopped to open gates after a period 50 to 70 kph running.
Question to anybody who has rebuilt one of these engines - Is there anywhere in the engine where a seal can swell cutting of coolant flow within the engine?

Suggestions for factory offset wheels?
I am considering the idea of having a hardpack set of tires, but would need another pair of factory offset wheels because I don't want to make my atv larger because it has to fit my trailer.
Ideas?

Excessive oil in the clean drain tube?
I have 2018 Outlander xmr 850 and I keep getting engine oil coming out of my clean drain tube. Is this normal? I blew a fuel pump fuse on one ride then the next ride the fuel pump relay flickered on me and the engine died. Pulled the relay, it clicked, put it back in and it fired right up. About 2km after that the check engine light came because it was getting hot, the fan relay flickered the same way so the fan didn't come on. Same thing, pull relay, it clicked, put it back in and the fan kicked back on. I haven't had an electrical issue since but every since that day I have been getting small amounts of oil in the clean drain tube. Just wondering if the 2 issues may be related?
Engine Rebuild – Crank Bearing Installation?
2009 Outlander 800r - approx 1750 miles - mostly trail riding/rock crawling
Short story: Heard a ticking (sounded like a valve tick) and found several links broken on one of my timing chains. It ate up the guides, shavings clogged the oil screen, heard the dreaded "skreeeek" when I got it back to the truck and shut it off. I've never rebuilt this type of engine but I bought a manual and decided to tackle it. Parts have been ordered (waiting) but I'm a little fuzzy on pressing the crank bearings back in. Is there any type of tab or something to guide it back in properly to make sure the oil hole lines up properly? If I miss, am I screwed? Anybody got any hints/tips/video on doing this correctly?

2012 650 Max XT 4×4 issue
Hello all,
My 2012 650 max xt was stuck in 4wd for awhile and when I got time to look at it, you could hear the actuator moving but not doing anything. I removed the actuator and it seemed like the pin that it goes on was stuck, I just rocked it back and forth a bit and it unlocked. I put it all back together and now it seems fine, but I don't know 1. Why it did it in the first place and , 2 Will it do it again? I don't beat on it just ride it mostly rocky stuff very little mud and it has 800 miles on it, and has otherwise been awesome. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Changing Tire Size to Lift Mav. Trail 800
What do I need to know about changing tire size to add lift to my Maverick Trail? Would a 14” wheel and 28” tires cause problems? Would I need to have the clutch adjusted for the larger diameter tire?
Thanks
Thanks
