I have a 2005 XC600sp with 1400 miles on it. I thought I blew a piston on my last ride. Pulled the top end off and it appears I seized the left connecting rod bearing. The rod is very tight and will not rotate. I can do the top end rebuild but need help pressing the crankshaft and reassembling it. Any suggestions on who may be able to do this in the area for short money? Thanks all.

Ask Pete. I know he knows a place that can do it. Cant remember the name though.

or....buy a Cat! Aww, it felt nice to have my Firecat pulling a Polaris back to the truck the other day with ya Big Lou!

Ouch.

Lou, I wonder if R&L over towards Dover does those.... Leo does nice work with race engines.... Could be worth the call.

As I say, no pic, no proof, it DIDNT happen!!

Wow, i guess you do use that saying. Same as getting stuck on Stinson Mountain with the cat boys?

haha nice, sorry I missed your call today Paul, I was at work.

Performance Cycle Machine in Lee NH just norht of the race track directly across from the nudist camp ground. He charges me $450 to do a full rebuild, balance and weld my two cylinder jet ski cranks.

I think a new Polaris crank is close to $900. It will be better than new when he is done with it.

Don't forget new crank seals, $25 each. I only trust OEM crank seals.

Might be worth looking on ebay for a motor with a good crank or just a used crank.

I am surprised that crank went so soon. Was there any sign of rust on any parts of the crank? Moisture is the kiss of death to a crank bearing. It only tankes one drop of dew sitting on a bearing for the summertime to make a nice little pit on the smooth surface which then overheats and shreds the races.

Aaron over at PCM in Lee use to work for Leo. If ya call r&l I believe Leo just refers you over to Aaron.

As freeride stated PCM is the place to go, I bring my machine work to him too. He does great work a his prices are fair.

Hey where have you been hiding? Havent heard from you in a while.

Thanks for th input guys. Ill give em a try.

Wow, suprised to see that and not the other way around!

I'll ride any sled that doesn't break down. Unfortunately those sleds only exist in fairy tales with unicorns and leprecons

Sounds like Lou's side of Concord....

hey mike. wanna buy a poo?

Trade, the firecat for the xc 600, and ya buy me a coffee....deal!

I dont know if anyone still needs a cranksaft rebuild but I use a guy in Berwick maine and he charges $110 labor +parts, just had mine rebuilt, trued and welded for under $300...quality guy and quality work!

Hey 96. Thanks. I'm still trying to find something reasonable. Ill check him out.

I do not believe Polaris sells a rod kit or bearing seperate for the big end rod bearing.

Don

Polaris has a rod kit #2201132 and there a aftermarket For $ 100.00

Yup, your right, I missed it, $300.
