I just love your approach to your channel. I’m guessing you made it your full time job, and because of that, you’re able to pump out a lot of content. The old saying that if you love your job, you don’t work a day in your life, is certainly true with you.

[@racequad9]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. This has to be his full-time job based on the amount of content he pushes out. Not only does he have to edit but he has research common issues with the vehicle, find parts, and the amount of times he spends actually working on what he buys - there is no way he can handle a full-time job. Good for him though, he has a great minimal stressful job with no boss.

[@George71964]

I enjoy watching your thorough step by step troubleshooting procedure. I have learned a lot watching your channel, enjoyed every episode I have watched so far.

[@dj27nitro]

He has been making these videos for years started making money just flipping quads and dirt bikes, this is more then a job now he is teaching us troubleshooting and how to fix our own machines most importantly he has taught me over the years the attitude to have about it these are just machines and they can be fixed if something breaks

[@bradley7723]

When checking a thermostat you place it in the water then turn on the heat and the moment it starts to open look at the water temp with either a thermometer or heat gun. That way you will know the exact temp it opens, usually 180-195 . If it only opens at boiling temp it's game over. The seats are so bad because I and other farmers are in and out of them at a much higher rate than recreational drivers. Also we most always have something in our back pockets that tear up the seats, 13k on a farmers utv will have many more hours on the engine to get to 13k than a recreational rider. Ours sit idling much more as we go about our work . Keep up the vids, I enjoy watching.😊

[@DDLovett]

Another great video. I'm finally starting to learn a little bit at 53yo thanks to Joe. I'm actually understanding the tear downs and when you wobbled that piston i was like "Oh. Rod bearing has gone" I tell you. Before i found 2vintage i didnt even know what a rod bearing was. Thanks Joe. You are a great teacher.

[@michaelblaes9847]

I knew nothing before I started watching Joe. Now I know the trinity. Air, spark, gas. It seems that is half of the problems he covers. Then things start being really broken.

[@jg6579]

My OCD is kicking in. First thing I'd have to do is hose off the filth before bringing it in to that nice clean garage. It's just a "Me" thing. Lol.

[@thebigguy8306]

Not at all, worked at a Porsche dealership, techs were okay but the master mechanic would demand a clean engine (power washed). Think former watch/clock repairman, more an engineer than a mechanic, every part, every nut, and bolt scrubbed and put in an ultrasonic cleaner.

[@samleigh7817]

@@thebigguy8306a nice clean power washed engine is nice to work on but if it is the first thing done to it then you wash away all the oil leaks and any other track evidence.

[@richoloughlin8312]

I’m surprised you jumped right into another UTV after the last “experience” 😂

[@thewhitestjamal]

I love that the lights are always a focus on your channel. I’m not even kidding. Sets you apart. 😂

[@flakksbuyselltrade]

Always a good day when 2vintage uploads.

[@kalaharimine]

I would suggest that overheating would have scoured your cylinder & bore first before damaging the con rod bearing - which is lubricated (and cooled) by the oil. So it may indicate that it either ran with low oil or the pump failed or an OEM part failure from abuse. The valve seats may need work if there was blow by due to insufficient clearance / sealing. Enjoy these investigative videos on such a variety of vehicles - very informative. Thanks man. PS: hope you've got covers on your boats.

[@kamn1]

Agree, nothing points to cooling system error. Cylinder and head are first that go when overheated, oil still lubricates to a degree even if its cooking in there but sure, it doesnt hurt to check I guess. Hard to say what happened here because the top end and gasket look good, I'll just guess they ran it out of oil and rod bearing took the hit before anything else. Though, how was it even running with those valves in the first place? Means they drove it with a loud bearing until it didnt fire up anymore due low compression🤡

[@georgepidick9967]

Maybe good pet owners..

[@ckkone]

Valves and check the fuel PSI. There is a rubber spacer under the fuel pump and when it deteriorates the pump gets loose in the pump housing and causes some fuel spray out before making it to the outlet hose.

[@joelonderee2872]

I just found your channel about 2 weeks ago, and have watched about 8 of our videos. I worked on motorcycles for years, but I have learned so much from watching your different videos. Great work and thanks!

[@ragnarironspear1791]

Brilliant channel, always enjoy your videos 👍🏻🇬🇧

[@greathornedowl3644]

Great project, good review - assessment, A B & C. A - get it running, B - operational (tires, brakes, shocks), C - seats, cosmetics. Keep up the hard work

[@husky500cr]

I like it when you give the back story on the project.

[@robinbrowne5419]

The seller always says it won't run. And Joe always fixes it. With Vinnie's help 👍

[@jasonjavelin]

Surprised you’re taking on another SxS after that last one but very hype to see this content. Came for dirt bikes stayed for everything else

[@joelatkinson2080]

Just like they said below this seems like a lubrication problem not a coolant problem. Another great video!!!

[@timjordan3671]

I would also add the factory setting of valve shims should be correct and there would be a reason they were not correct anymore.

[@philliphall5198]

I’m thinking it never had the oil change or even checked ✅

[@davidfrancisco5311]

When you first put jumper on it and turned the key on it had check engine light on leads me to believe it had on board diag. You can probably retrieve the codes from it and it may point you in the right direction as to why it either over heated or was starved for oil

[@bighomieJ5X]

Perfect timing .....wifey wanted to cuddle.. now I've got 53min to stay on the toilet. 😂😂

[@ProjectsWithPat]

polaris 570 are common to have the rod bearing fail. i love rebuilding these machines because they are so easy.

[@jerryq1000]

Love the troubleshooting process. It looks like the former owners of that machine didn't go very far out of their way to do much in maintaining it. Engine replaced; new engine with a bad rod bearing...abused, used outside of its parameters, low coolant (?), strained the engine?

[@Chris_at_Home]

There is dust everywhere. I have a 2017 that gets washed quite frequently. I would have washed this one before I worked on it.

[@jamesdoyle6839]

make up a simple jig using a 12v stop light bulb.. wire the bulb with the circuit breaker inline on either lead... you can add more and more bulbs to increase load to the circuit breaker...cheap and dirty , but it works.

[@glenwhitacre2754]

The lower part of the seats get the blunt of the sun when they let a unit set outside that's why they shrink up and tear. You can get new covers but OEM can be expensive.

[@kimanikamau9215]

I am watching from Kenya. I have 18 of 570's all grounded. It was a breath of fresh air to watch you diagonise and work on this one

[@MrJmattr3]

Great video! I love how he is rocking the 180 piece Cresant tool set from video 1! Keeping it real!

[@jacksat2252]

Hi, second time you test a thermostat wrong ,you need to heat the water to the thermostat spec ,normally around 70-75 C not boiling ,if the thermostat opens on 100c then the engine is allready overheated . Oh and sorryfor my bad english i am on my phone no spelling checker 😁

[@raeanker3078]

Bottom end bearing knocking, let’s just rev it to make sure, love your channel mate.

[@CharlieRice-eq5hb]

Your thermostat should start to open at the rated temp. You are only checking if it opens at 212 which is too hot for your motor. Use a digital thermometer and see if it opens at rated temperature of thermostat.

[@valleywrenchin]

we like that method, just dont use the same thermostat on the bbq later.

[@lucascady4992]

Just a little Rod Slap Up and Down!! Haven't seen this old school thermast test since I was kid watching my Step Dad and Uncle working on a 305 Chevy engine!! 😂😂❤️

[@blackopsrocks]

I bought a small bore gauge tool thats for gunsmithing to do this job. Take buckets out, reinstall cams, take base lobe measurements and record them. Subtract the lash and I can order the buckets without having to buy the dealer kit for 30x the cost.

[@marshallpolzin9086]

Joe why haven’t you cobbled a $100 winch onto that trailer yet?

[@jumpinjojo]

Because he spent all his money on an asphalt driveway.

[@marshallpolzin9086]

Just weld up the bracket and borrow a winch from one of the rigs

[@jerrywilcox9890]

​@@marshallpolzin9086doesn't need one.

[@OSXMan]

Good thing you got to it before it let go and destroyed everything! Not a moment too soon. I'm guessing you'll fix and keep this Polaris and sell the off brand ute?

[@gman1141]

Always love watching you go through these machines. I am particularly interested any time you tear into a Polaris Ranger as I have a 2002 6WD with a transmission that grinds shifting to high range. After watching several other videos, I have a general idea of what is wrong but I'm still to chicken to remove it and and take it apart. The more I watch you, the more my confidence is building!

[@av8or971]

Whats the worse thing that can happen? Its already broke. Just take lots of pictures as you take it apart.

[@AndreHuppe]

Yes, picture is worth a thousand words 😅

[@oldjarhead386]

Joe, check all of the valves and cylinder head parts carefully. Mostly valves, seats and springs and head warpage. Having bucket shim valves going tight after the engine was running is not a logical failure mode. Wider maybe. But tighter? This indicates a possible valve geometry issue. If someone installed the wrong buckets during some sort of mindless troubleshooting of course. But that’s not logical either. Not with all of the other issues this engine appears to have.

[@armedfarm3429]

The more videos you make of the toys people love, the more $$$$ you are going to take in, I say good for you. Wheelers& Utv's, there's tons of them in the world, people will watch & sub yer channel. The way you detail the trouble shooting & repair is why I watch. You have already helped me with my Quads & Utv's.👍👍

[@MM_in_Havasu]

You will get this thing to run, Joe! Looking forward to the next episode. Thanks man!

[@michaelblaes9847]

It is obvious the previous owner did not take any kind of care of this utv. It confuses me how people will pay outrageous money for something and then treat it without any respect.

[@eagle777dh]

Don't forget the thermal switch for the fan. Failure at any one point of the circuit will cause it not to function. I have payed the price of not checking some thing that never fails to find out it was the problem.

[@RealSuburbanCowboy]

That is a good score. I think those engines have oil issues. Not sure about that model, but look into something call the "bearing" mod for the oil system. Also, those oil pickups can look clean, but if you use brake cleaner and back flush them, LOTS of crap can come out of them. If you don't do that, you will be in the same place soon.

[@peteraitken6494]

Hi joe liked the add on at the back of the atv 😂😂 just can’t help yourself mate lol yeah it’s a bit beat up but nothing you can’t fix buddy should be some good content coming on the rebuild ,look forward to it take care and all the best 👍👌🔧🔧🔧❤️🐾🦴🦴🐾

[@jwfinley7808]

Good Job! You kept it interesting!

[@neiljuedes1661]

First I have to commend you on your backing skills. I am amazed how many people pay a rediculous price for these toys and then they leave them sit out side uncovered . I always put my toys in the shed after use and they look like new many years down the road.

[@GNX157]

Just a suggestion..even if the thermostat tests “okay”, if that engine was overheated, just replace the thermostat to be safe.

[@betobsbf]

Really nice video. I enjoyed every second. Thank you very much, sir!

[@bevis226]

Polaris YUK! When they run they can be really good fun. The bottom end on them likes to let go. I have a 900 xp EFI that has been rebuilt Twice and it only has 368 miles on the Odometer. 1st time it spit out the bearings in the bottom end and the 2nd time it dropped 3 valve guides and bent 2 valves. The 570 is basically a RZR 900/1000 with 1/2 the cylinders. The oil pump isn't the problem. They have a chain driven high pressure oil pump with Boost pump in them that very very rarely fails. They are a just a poorly designed engine that tends to suffer from Oil starvation issues due to a poorly designed Crank and block. The Oil galleys in the Stock cranks and block are a bit to small and restricted. Stay away from the OEM Polaris and the Rev6 "kits". HotRods makes a really good bottom end kit for those.

[@JeffPutchinski]

I keep waiting for Jade to walk in while you're testing thermostats......"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY KITCHEN!?!?!!?!?!" :-0)

[@jackonthefarm5540]

There is a temperature sensor measuring liquid temp in radiator. I found it failed on my Polaris 400. Switch must be made for electricity to flow to fan. This is in addition to the thermostat.

[@scooz14]

those fan beakers corrode internally and will work but open circuit after not too long, causing the fan to stop and the car to overtheat. the trick is to extend the wiring and mount them high with the lugs down.

[@edwardestes8038]

Maybe that engine is playing that song by Tony Orlando and Dawn.......you heard of it long ago....."Knock Three Times"....but in this case.....Its more like......."I Hear Your Knockin"

[@bradley7723]

Oh yeah, Dave Edmunds.

[@JoeTheBlacksmith13]

Looks like it’s sat outside for a long time. Those seats look like they’re all ripped up from getting stiff and brittle from sun damage.

[@murapima7332]

iv worked at polaris dealership for 8 years and iv seen a this alot of these with rod bearing issues most common reason if from ppl not changing the oil or just running them low/out of oil. on the note of the intake valves being tight is usually from dirt ingestion from not cleaning air filter or not installing the lid right, also noticed the play in the primary clutch and would recommend buttons and checking the shift weight and rollers they are a common wear item

[@snowyowl7042]

From Minnesota, like 4x4 trucks, these are in high demand on winters eve.

[@andrewarsenault4062]

Joe the engine probably blew up cause it has 11k. It was probably not replaced as the seller told you

[@jefferybenavidez1478]

the fan breaker can be tested quickly by hooking positive voltage to the 12volt input and then using your volt meter to see if there is 12 volts on the output side. If there is voltage then short the output side to ground and it should cut off then voltage leave your volt meter connected to se then un-short the output side and voltage should return. Yes it's that simple! a breaker is just a re-settable fuse.

[@duradiesel12]

That's a really dumb way to test a resettable breaker because they trip by Heat and the heat won't dissipate fast enough to reset immediately.

[@BlaineTurner-fl8bb]

Hi it is me again I just wanna thank u for making these videos I really love your content

The last Ranger we did was one of those 570's. The rod bearings were shot on it, had valve seat coming loose, one adjuster was stripped clear out. Had 4200 mls on it, had nevrr taken it in toit serviced, it crapped out and didnt want to take it in cause way expensive, so he brought to me. My assistant knew the huy and said he had no business owning motorized anything. Took bout a week ti fix t hen found out it had a bent rear wheel and hub.

[@03roadking]

Nice driveway . Makes things easier 🙂

[@kenjohnson5498]

Sounded like Vini was in the back chopping onions or something lol

[@daveco1270]

Another cool find. I'm impressed you were able to slightly modify those valve buckets and get it to start. I just did my first valve job on a motorcycle with shim pucks. (A 2007 Triumph Bonneville.) Having to take the cams off, measure the shims then wait for new ones was a pain. Having to order new buckets seems more expensive. I screwed up the first time I ordered new shims... I thought I needed .25 smaller when I actually need .025 smaller. I put them in place and everything was WAY off. Had to order the correct shims and wait another 2 weeks to get them.. It was a learning experience. Sometimes you pay for your education.

[@mikehudge78x]

One of the best channels on the tube !! Nice work 💪 cant wait to see the fat wheeler 😂

[@edmunddrudge5366]

When you put the new crank in make shure the plug (oil jet) is in the flywheel end of the crank... i recently rebuilt my 570... twice 😢

Before burning this starter up, check spark, hit with shot of ether or prime with fuel thru spark plug to see if it will fire.

[@Stuckin330]

If you tear down the engine more then youl kno what’s wrong with it lol you don’t need to here it run to see what’s bad . Just tear her down an make sure evrything is in spec . But I deff love the vids

[@garyrobinson219]

These are actually known to ingest dust into the intake and take out the bearing. I actually just did a crank replacement on one of these recently for this very reason. Check those intake hoses and throttle body.

[@armedfarm3429]

On this type you need to double check the air filter lid clamps, make sure the lid is seated down against the rubber edge of air filter & smear a bit of grease around the sealing edges of the cover & air box.

[@kevsumner2064]

Great video and I'm sure you're going to find an oil pump problem. One thing that annoys me is the amount of gas you're wasting when checking the thermostat. If you can see the flames around the saucepan like that you need to turn it down so the flames are on the bottom of the pan. I learnt this in a professional kitchen. It all adds to your profit on the job.

[@alaroony9890]

Why do i find this so relaxing? I must have a screw loose.

[@benschlack5814]

You can test that circuit breaker it's just like a fuse that resets itself

[@MIKEH.777]

You should put a motorcycle engine in it . Then it would be a fast 4x4. Smoke all 4 tires if you wanted to. Plus you wouldn't have to worry about it blowing up anymore. Great channel, keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family. 😊👍🙏🏼

[@kencramer1697]

It seems to me that the previous owners may have had it in for service with that high of mileage. Dealer may have done a rebuild but did not put assembly lube on the crank shaft or rod bearings. Customer gets it back after the service and it runs fine for a little bit then no longer starts. At least that is what the perfect cylinder and head with working water pump say to me.

[@raysymonds7147]

Tight lashing of the valves hold the valves hold them open don't they ? But you said " see if we could get them to open " ? Too loose would give compression and being held open will give little or no compression !

[@TroyRosenbaugh]

Pull plug, maybe touch of gas or atarting fluid.

[@dj27nitro]

Excited to see this restored

Starting fluid brother, it’s very old fuel, probably dirty and clogged carburetor.

[@johnnycare3057]

I had a friend with the same 570. It got stuck in a mud hole at about a 40 degree angle for about 30 seconds and that's all it took to wipe out the crank. Pretty sure they have an oiling problem.
