I'm looking at buying a sled with the big ol' 1085. He wants 3 grams and its in a gen II chassis. Everything seems to be in good condition. If everything looks good, I'm gonna drop it in my '09 mountain IQr. Maybe on a side note - whats needed for this other than pipes.
My hesitation is that everyone said PSI was junk but they ran amazing WHEN they ran, which apparantly wasn't that often. Now I've known this particular sled and it hasn't seemed to give the guy much grief, BUT, he doesn't ride it very much at all.
So my question is: buy or stay away? If I buy it, should I plan a set of pistons every thousand miles/year? What do I need to look for with this engine.
Also, I believe this is built off an 800 non-ves bottom end, is this true?
