[Tyler 54]

Rode the 200X today, took it threw soem dam mud hole..just cuz the polaris couldnt get through it... n e ways I made it through and well she started smoking shortly after???? did i blow the head gasket, valve guides? Ring??? I know you guys cant tell me my exact problem but any advice is greatly appreciated. thanks!!

just reading from your post,and not actually being there,
my best guess is going to be the rings.
but there could and most likley are a number of factors involved,
such as water,condition of the oil in the motor,etc...
my suggestion would be to examine the engine oil,spark plug,valve clearence,change the oil and do a compression test..


good luck

You might also want to check your breather hose coming from the tranny. If it gets pluged with mud it can make the pressure build up in the bottom of the motor forcing more oil into the cylinder.
