Replacing Headgasket

Hi Everyone. A friend of mine has a 1999 Sportsman 500 that has Antifreeze bubbling out of the overflow tank. I have validated the fan is working, the waterpump is working and I have bled it several times. Small bubbles are coming out of the radiator cap.

I am planning to replace the headgasket and check the head for cracks. My questions are the following:

1. The manual says you do not have to remove the engine to pull the head, but wanted to confirm this is easy to do or would it be a lot easier to remove the engine?
2. I assume I should replace the base gasket too, but would love to hear what everyone thinks.


Thanks
Rob

Steering stem squeaking creeking

2016 xxx 1000
Steering to the left or right when not moving and possibly when moving has a loud squeaking creeking. Is there an area to lube ?
Is this normal? Sounds horrible

LSR A-Arms

I purchased some LONESTAR DC-4 Long Travel A-Arms for my 2008 Polaris Outlaw from ATVGALAXY.com

They were shipped to me directly from LSR with the right part number and the description said DC-4 LONG TRAVEL

They look like the sport arms to me... Can anyone with LSR A ARMS confirm which arms these are? Shouldn't they have a cross member brace up near the mounts of the lower arm? and also I didn't think the lower shock mounts on the DC-4 arms were a tab style like these...

I called LSR and apparently they know nothing about the arms they manufacture for the Outlaw...

Pictures below, Thanks guys!

How do I manually turn engine on 2004 sportsman 7700Manuall

Neighbor boy has disassembled his sportsman 700 and removed the head and cylinder with the engine still in the frame. The pistons are not fully exposed out of the crankcase. He has asked me for help. I saw a youtube video with the cylinder removed and the pistons exposed. The mechanic removed the pistons, put them in the cylinder and then replaced the cylinder on the case. But he had the engine out of the frame. Do we have to remove the engine? Can the crank be manually positioned to lift the pistons so we can get the cylinder back on? If yes, how do we do that?

The cylinder looks good no scoring. The rings look good. What is the best way to get this thing back together? Would really appreciate your help.

1024 Sportsman 850 Tires! Tires?? Ummm Tires????

Newer owner to a 2014 Polaris Sportsman 850 H.O. E.P.S

Need mud tires. I really like the Intimidator tires but they only come in sizes that wont really work. The stock tires are 26x8x14 Front 26x10x14 Rear. Do I have to have the same size aftermarket tires? Nothing cool comes in those sizes. LAME


What about clearance issues?

What can I get away with?

What is going to be the best option not messing with gear ratios or none of that junk? Just mount and ride.
