Well done series. Very informative. I never knew you had to completely disassemble the entire block to get to the cylinders on these Polaris. Yet one more feature of that company that makes me glad I don't own one! On all the Japanese ATV's, you can simply unbolt the cylinder section from the bottom end so you don't have to take the whole bloody engine out of the frame to simply hone the cylinder walls or change piston rings. Honestly, many things Polaris does just make me wonder what in the hell their engineers are smoking.

It's because the Japanese are using a out dated design and that's why they're so far behind in Horse Power.

@@crazyflyboy30 It's not an outdated design, it's a smart design. And it has nothing to do with power. It's simply smart engineering. So smart in fact that Polaris finally saw the light and now does the same thing on their newer engines.

@@utahwanderlust700 every engine Polaris makes is a total different design and the latest version SXS engine is just like a car has to be pulled out to get to the rings so what engine are you referring to. And power has everything to do with it Polaris and Can Am is only ones that make any real power all the others are a joke.

@utahwanderlust7003 жыл бұрын
After going through all that just to get to the rings, there's no way I would've put that engine back together without honing the cylinders. You could clearly see a mirror finish in 40% of one cylinder, and probably 60-70% of the other. Maybe John just realized these Polaris engines are just throw away engines anyway and didn't want to be bothered.

When you pull out an egg shaped ring, it’s an indicator the cylinder is not round. It should of been sent out to be trued and honed . That customer will eventually be back with the same problems. I guarantee it.
@crazyflyboy302 жыл бұрын
I highly doubt that the cylinder was out of round and there is only a small coating of Nikasil in the cylinders so a boring the cylinder out is costly a new engine is a better option at that point.

I was looking for crank timing chain timing marks and you never looked at them. Polaris never put a keyway on cam gear in my 2011 x2 850 so it can rotate out of time. that engine it looked like one peace crank with gear cast on it the worst thing ever all they needed to do is key way the crank like the rear of the crank. ps it looked like dangel barries hanging on lower case when you put it together that went between mating surface

If reusing, you want to put them back in the way they came out. If you didn't mark them, look for a stamp head of the piston, some have one. Some have an orientation, some don't, but if they are used, it's preferable to put them back in the same way.
