Greetings all,
First timer looking to get some advice and direction.
My dad has a 2005 Edge Grand Touring with a 550 and very low miles.
The engine lost a cylinder, which we had repaired . . . and then only a few hours after the rebuild, the engine seized up.
My dad wants to fix it because a two-up trail machine is what works for his needs and it is in great condition (except for the engine). I understand that the 550 fans of this era were problematic for a lot of people . . . so I am hesitant to have him spend a lot of money on an engine that may not last for him.
My questions are. . .
1) Are there other engines that could essentially "bolt in" without a lot of modifications, but would be more reliable or provide greater longevity?
and
2) Can anyone recommend a good Polaris mechanic or shop in the Salt Lake/Davis County area? Quality work at reasonable prices . . .
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
