fortune46x Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 My shit wagon has the engine out of it (again) and is getting rebuilt top to bottom end. fabricating some suspension stuff, then going to leave as is unless I find out the blast plastics will fit on the chassis. and hopefully in the coming weeks I know If I'll have a new XC sled or if I am picking up a 850. I just need to find out if a polar bear clutch kit is available yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to rebuild all the shocks on the Indy and revalve the rears to match the rear torsions but I’m not quite in the wrenching mood just yet.

I might throw it on Craig’s list tonight. I am not brave enough to risk the bisket and try walking at haydays.

MnDean Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) I pulled the engine out my 2016 800. It was down on power last February so I parked it. Last weekend I finally got a chance to work on it, needs pistons for sure and I should pull the bottom end apart and check that also.

SayatodaU.P.eh? Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Are those marks just on one piston and just on the exhaust side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SayatodaU.P.eh? Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Exhaust valves have any marks on them that match these marks? Or, it got hot (high coolant temp) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the grooves are for, they are only on the thrust side of the piston. I was more concerned about the vertical grooves that aren't supposed to be be there.

SayatodaU.P.eh? Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Pretty sure those grooves are there for oil retention. Found a smoking deal on an SLP silencer, for the new trail sled, on eBay today. That reminds me, I need to get the ol Fusion back up on the intranets for sale.

Or, it got hot (high coolant temp) No matching exhaust valve marks. The piston damage is in between the main exhaust port and the sub exhaust ports. Never got hot, I keep a close eye on the temps. The top of the pistons have a raised ridge center of the exhaust port, tugged upward . So yes ,it got hot some how, but not from high coolant temps.
