1996 XCR 600 Light Mod-Help/suggestions

I'm sorry but maybe I wasn't clear enough in my video. What you hear rattling back and forth is the piston against the sides of the cylinder lol. I'll be interested to see what they look like when I get them all out.
I found these on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Polaris-580...ash=item464821659b:g:1UEAAOSw5dNWq31u&vxp=mtr
They don't say specifically for a 1996 XCR. but I think they would work won't they?

My mistake on the video. Your link is for the 580 XLT pistons not the 600 XLT so that would not fit.
you really should come get my motor and stuff:face-icon-small-hap
have you rebuilt motors before? top ends are easy, but ive never done a bottom end. my old boss at the dealership always sent bottoms out to a machine shop for some reason.

More than likely to line bored the cases before re-assembling.
Haha If I need a motor, I might just have to make a trip up there! What town in Central Washington?
I have done a few top ends. I did one top to bottom on an '04 800 edge that broke a crank, but I had the cases line bored so it came back from the machine shop with the bottom end assembled.
FYI after I get the motor torn down, and put back together, I'll be calling you to get the track, and extensions if you still want to sell them! I would really like to do the 156, but if you have all the extensions for the 141, that would simplify things immensely!
Exactly. I'm not real worried about separating the cases and putting it back together. I've got hondabond case seal sitting on the shelf. Do you happen to have any torque specs on this particular motor?
Sorry for the lack of updates in this thread. I've gotten real busy on the ranch as summer time always does and haven't gotten alot done lately. I'm all but ready to paint the hood and whatnot. In fact the other night I was cleaning it all up to prime it and realized I forgot to put bondo on the two hairline cracks that needed fixed. So I did that and haven't had time to get it sanded off. That'll be my next step.
I'm focusing on getting the hood painted and back together so I can limit the number of pieces as much as possible. Once that's together the motor is coming out.
Stay tuned!
Well I got the hood painted yesterday. It isn't perfect and I've got some orange peel I need to try to get wet sanded down, but it's better than it was!
I also pulled apart the clutch and am still trying to get it to operate smoothly. It's running 10-44's and a blue spring.

Thank ya! I just used the leftover paint I had from my 1990 dodge project about 4 years ago. Figured it's better to use it than let it go to waste. It's just a single stage blue metallic color
im in ellensburg. yeah i pretty much got everything you would need to do a 141. got a 141x2 challenger- not perfect but totally usable, tunnel extension, rail extensions, lower gears if you want...
if ya get a wild hair go for a road trip, ill set you all up and throw the motor in just cuz. $200 for everything, till the swapmeet comes in october.. then im gonna try to get what i can for this stuff. i have a decent looking set of chrome slp triples with glasspacks too. was thinking i could get $200 easy for those, but id throw em in for another 100 if ya want to try them. keep up the work, youll be proud when its all done. nice spare sled/time capsule. these are dirt cheap piecers right now, dime a dozen, but will be cool azz vintage mountain sleds to the next generations.

I think I'll probably take you up on that at some point this summer.
Progress is slow on this thing, but I did pull the secondary last night and went through it. Just put all the stock parts back in it.
Next is the motor. I don't have high hopes since I can hear #3 piston wiggle back and forth in the bore.
Snojet, how is that motor that you have? I'm assuming I'll be putting at least a top end in this one.
Pulled the top end tonight. #3 does not look good. I'm not comfortable with the cylinder either. You can see some scoring in the cylinder and the piston is scored very bad and cracked. With the way the piston was rocking in the bore I don't think this monoblock is worth putting back together.
Sno jet, I sent you my number. Give me a call if you are still wanting to get rid of parts. If you're willing to through in a good motor I'll make the trip up to pick it up and buy some more parts from you.
Here are some pics

right on just saw this ill call ya tomorow.
that one does look pretty bad, was it same jetting across the board? i will look closer into my motor and make sure it looks good. It would come with the XLT 34mm carbs, you can look and see if they staggered those jets with the pipes, i never ran the thing but it appeared pretty low miled.

Wet sand the hood then buff.
I did that to a rattle can job I did on the kids Indy Lite.

The XLT has a steel liner you might be ok with a good hone and most piston manufactures have them in oversize if a bore is required
It's on the list. I screwed up and let my pot sit for too long before spraying the last coat and I think it started setting up
Hmmm if I can do as slash says and clean up the cylinder with a hone, maybe I'll stick with this motor and 38 mm carbs. I'll still come up and get the pipes, track and extension unless you would ship it to me.
I can feel the grooves with my finger. I doubt I could gone it far enough to do it but I don't claim to be an expert at all

mfgsupply.com has some fair prices on piston, ring, and full gasket sets for that motor.

I found these on ebay. they also sell this same set .020 over for another 10 bucks. I'm going to run by the local napa after work today and see if they could/how much it would cost to have them bore it

yea i could ship the other stuff, just let me know.
and you can mix and match carbs too i believe, just change flanges and airbox. I think I threw the XLT airbox in the trash tho. im a fan of k&n style or SLP airboxs. i run a gutted hood and added some venting to the tub behind the shock tower as well as drilled some holes in the footwell/dash area and never notice any bog from steam ingestion. the stock hood airbox entry on these get clogged way too easy in the powder.
I got the cases split and the crank out. All the bearings and races seem good other than the mag side crank bearing. I have attached a video. Doesn't seem normal to me but what do you guys think?https://vimeo.com/176540212
