    I'll be honest with you, my sled engine is still sitting in the basement, with the puller kit sitting next to it. Too much ch!t going on at work to even deal with this, let along come on snow and mud. I'm surprized i noticed this. We'll see how the next few weeks go before i head outta town for...

    New factory short block?

    Honestly, i'm past that. As i said.. used is used. And after 11 pages, i think everyone has gotten the point that i was trying to point out in this topic, which is be careful what you buy, it really doesn't matter who from. I wasn't trying to slag Chris in anyway for being a vendor on this site...

    New factory short block?

    What exactly isn't adding up? What do you think is fishy? Yes, i will say the carb boot caused the blown up engine, but i can't tell you yet if the bottom end bearing went first, or what happened. I've been too busy at work this week to even care to look at a blown up engine, that i can't ride...

    New factory short block?

    Yes thats what i thought in the beginning, but there are several cracks in the bottom end.. all over the place. Yes we think that cylinder was leaned out, due to a crack carb boot. I will post that up soon. I keep looking around for a new engine, but i'm pretty disappointed already, might as...
