2011 everest 800etec break inn

[rotormech]

so i got a 2011 everest with a etec that had a new short block put in with the piston recall done.will it have to be broke in like a new engine?would it go back to break in mode?do i just drive it?thanks guys...

 

[takethebounce]

The ecm won't know that the short block has been replace, unless somehow the ecm was reset/flashed. I would check with the dealer who did the recall for you and check with them. Then there should be no warranty issues. Heck get it in writing.

But it wouldn't hurt to break it in with whatever method you prefer to break it in. I won't suggest anything as everyone has their own impression on how to break in a new motor/top end.

There's a piston recall? What models/serial number are affected?

Must be a secret warranty as I haven't seen any bulletins on it.

If you haven't heard anything, I won't be concerned about it.

Just checked Bossweb on my laptop. The only engine related bulletin for 2011 was for the 600 Ace engine and no bulletins yet for 2012 so I'm saying someone is misinformed.

Glacier House...that guy may not be telling the truth. Milton and I can speak to how sneeky those peeps can be...I hope it works out but I would love to open that up and see if it is actually true. Could be the truth..hmm

 

[rotormech]

Haven't hears anything bad about their shop. The owner is a standup guy.

im sure he is,im not worried about it.the sled fires up normal seems to idle nice should be fine.....i hope......

 

[snopro]

No need to stress. Shortblocks are pretty straightforward as long as there are no leaks. Oh and you have warranty.

 

[etecheaven]

i just made a post about a campaign on the 800 etecs, there is a piston replacement on right now.

 

[rotormech]

well there you go,mine had just over 2000km and thats what i was told the reason for the short block was...thanks
