I was changing the exhaust manifold on my 717 (98 GS) when all of a sudden , SNAP! One of the bolts broke in the manifold. So i proceed to extract the broken screw and completely fail drilling into the crankcase. -_-
Having a spare 717, i took the crank case off the engine in the ski, and replaced it with the one from my spare engine. While i had the head and cover off , i noticed mine was looking rough. Looked like it had an orange algae/crust/goo Idk what to call it , so i replaced it with my Spare engine head and cover. I torqued it to 17ft lbs. i have not cranked it tho cause i wanted to talk to the pros first lol. So now that that’s out of the way, what am i to expect? What should be my next step and precautionary advice measures to not blow the engine? Or maybe (?) Have i already Damaged by taking the crankcase off?
