Wednesday Night Rides

[Philster]

Just did my head O-rings too, lost one last Sunday. My egt's were really hot on the trail though so I think that contributed. Finally put my boondocker on so I'll fatten it up a bit and hope for the best. If you had a nasty coolant leak it might have contaminated the oil in the rod bearing, bad news bears.

Thanks a lot for all the input.Hopefully Ill have it all resolved by next season.I wan-t to fix it right the first time for Me And then just ride the HELL out of it.

Sounds like the "o-ring" is a bad design by Doo, maybe that's why they stopped making this engine? Still lots of riding left Hardcore, better get that Doo fixed...

So what is Polaris Excuse why didn't they stop making their damn engines

The reason they stop making the 1000 is because Emissions

Easy papa Smurff I think Polaris took doos design and tried to modify it with their 800s but made it worse
At least the 1000 makes more than a yr on a build lol.

I think I have some ideas on improving the O-ring issue.
If it works I'll be a hero If it doesn't work I'll be the first one to call Me an" IDIOT "!!!

Polaris engines are disposable, but very easy to replace, doo engines, not so easy...

Hey Rye, You gonna snow check my machine or what?

 

[Ryeser]

Dont think we are riding tonight Mr. Bogger...


Anyone need rags?

I wish I could, but can't afford it, Thanks for giving me the first right of refusal... That is one awesome sled!

Any ways I pulled off the head tonight and found some interesting differences in the O-RINGS.The one that's leaking has dimpell's on it from every head-bolt location the one that was not leaking is perfect.I can not believe SKIDOO would not use an actual head-gasket instead of an O-RING.Shitty design in My opinion.
Any one got an option on the difference in the O-RINGS and what to do about it.???

 

[magnet]

Looks like it was pinched at each head bolt why? I dunno can't say trying to think of how it would even be possible.
As for doo and I rings in the head I think everybody uses orings now at the top of the cylinders. Not sure why they don't use gaskets.
Can anybody answer that one

Apparently the "WNR" crew is too busy sledding or drinking to help me.
