OLD MOD

[Deano670]

Man today brought back some MEMORIES!!! 10years ago I had a 1986 mx 470cc. I stripped that old sled, long tracked it to a 121" as they were only a 116" painted it decaled it with 98 MXZ decals, red ski skins, bored,ported,polished the engine. I sold it to my cousin almost 10yrs ago, he phoned my yesterday and said the old yellow rocket finally got tired. After 5800miles it finally lost enough compression she just couldnt bare another 2 STROKES. So he shipped me the engine and were goin for round TWO.

that old SRX in the pics, when i had it given to me it had 2 bad pistons and cylinders. Rebuilt it and my buddy had a 93 xlt 580, he was so pissed when the old 440 handed him his azz, That little sled would do 108mph on the road, I know the COPS told me so

AHH the good ole days!

Well the old mod engine is stripped, looks like a set of pistons, rotary shaft seals and some gaskets and she'll be back on the snow. I still cant believe this engine made it this long. my cousin is a solid 280lbs and rides this thing like he stole it

Is that dry weight, or wet? There IS a difference.
