Those blocks and heads are machined on horizontal mills. A pallet pool feeds 4 mills in a row. That’s only the roughing ops. blocks and heads on most of these motors are cast aluminum now.

Ah that's alum huh - thought it would be for weight, but thought raw casting looked like steel in pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sled wouldn't run without the changes. Well I talked to lonn Peterson himself about it and he said you have to "ease" off the throttle to avoid the fuel dumping. They don't add horsepower I took those things off and never had a problem again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A typical poo base gasket is metal with a copper or silicone seal impregnated into the gasket. Yah....I was lost in here. There is a fairly decent standard of using proper gaskets on newer motors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's totally normal to issue a recall for an entire model year for a fire hazard issue that wasn't a problem. https://snowgoer.com/news/arctic-cat-issues-recall-due-to-fire-hazard/27191/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
