Definitely, the valve issue is something that was uncommon, but he did still have an alignment issue on the bracket.After reading all the comments in the video…it seems there are two things unrelated that are happening. One is the bracket and the binding of the valves. The other is to tight a tolerance of the valves and in conjunction with the binding it hits the piston and then it gets really bound. The comments make it seem like the most common issue is the bracket and when it’s fixed it’s fixed and what happened to Matt’s was more of a fluke and not the norm. Of course we will find out because there are over 500 comments on you tube and then there’s instagram and so he will definitely tell us when he knows . Another poster did a break down of the architecture of the engine and said it was just an over site on the tolerance . Now I want to k ow too lol. I’ll call my dealer tomorrow for fun lol
I watched this also. Does Polaris pay for the heli lift out if needed? From what I watched he said a heli was going to lift it out. They doubled on the way out. Lots of troubles out there. Been there done that minus the heli trip.I'm ruling out exhaust spring against steering post. I checked all mine today while swapping in a new belt, and there is quite a bit of clearance between sping and steering post.
I respect Muskoka and his unbiased videos. He shows the good, bad and ugly.
Last week there was a ride in BC that had Caleb, Turcotte and others. One of the lesser known guys also took video of the ride. His Polaris primary clutch blew up, damaged crank, major carnage. Dude was bummed big time. No mention of the incident on the sponsored riders YouTube videos or the fate of their riding buddy with the tow out or helicopter rescue. Muskoka would have shown it, he deserves all his success as a non ambassador, non sponsored rider.
Good point. I've used a dab of RTV on some that were loose and vibrating.The tabs that act as washers for mounting the stock can make some funny vibration noises. When I put my Diamond S on I doubled them up for a nice snug fit.
You are right the new valves shouldn't hit the piston. The old valve stopper would wear a bit and make contact with the pistons all due to the angle of the valve with regards to the piston. The new ones are parallel to the piston, if the new valve is making piston contact you have a lot bigger problems lol.Wow, I was under the impression the new designed power valves could not hit the pistons. There was some issues with that on both the 800 ctech and suzuk motors.
