It's a sad day

You asked for so here is my thoughts( poor materials + poor engineering = Kaboom

Polaris saved a buck or two using cheap Italian cranks in the 11 and 12's. So, probably screwed us on cheap cylinders.

allis-chalmers teamed up with fiat years ago to make the fiat-allis dozers...

we had several...we called them spagetti metal...very weak..

If someone has the ability to post a video, I can send them a 10 second video of the pistons rocking in both cylinders. Really scary how much play there is in both the top and bottom of the stroke in the cylinders.
Anyone want to send me their email so I can send you the video file?
PM me.

Thanks,

--So, to recap--

-All 11-13 Polaris 800 engines need to replace pistons at 0 miles or more

--All 11-12 Polaris 800 crankshafts need updating or replacement with a 13 Fuji crank

jesus christ........a 2011 or 2012 etec with the flex edge track and t motion kit is looking good.

Those 2013 short block from Carls for $2900 are sounding pretty good .
Does any one have pictures of 10, 11, 12 and 13 together i am just wondering how much change is there in injector ports ?

--You can get a new 160 HP Suzuki Cat 800 HO longblock for under $2600

--A new Polaris 800 shortblock is over $3700

--Better keep those Polaris warranties up to date or else update crank bearings and pistons

--The warranty underwriters must be clueless as to what they are getting into or else very calculated
