5600 mile UPDATE

I pulled the motor down to check engine and crank before the start of the year. Engine has been rock solid with no problems at all. Leak down still less than 5%. Here a some pics of the parts. This 860r has been the most reliable performance upgrade ive done to any sled I have owned. Keep up the GOOD WORK BIG JOHN. Am putting new pistons and rock on.

Is that fairly normal for the carbon buildup under the ring line on the pistons. I noticed that last year on mine. Always questioned weather I was running to high compression or had bad oil, rings did not seat..ect..ect..

It may be nothing, but I thought I would ask.

Can't wait for mine to show up and for some real snow to start falling.

:beer;

Fastmax, what elevation do you ride and how many miles did you put on?

fastmax1 · Oct 16, 2009

Sorry forgot to mention it has 5600 miles on the engine. This is the first time it has been pulled apart,

fastmax1 · Oct 16, 2009

I ride at 1800 to 7000 feet with no jetting changes, runs cool at midrange and WOT

BossRev · Oct 16, 2009

Keithcat · Oct 16, 2009

That's good to hear, can't wait to get mine out :beer;

5600 Miles? My Gawd man thats more of a long term relability mod than it is a performance enhancer!!

Its dern near worth the moolah simply based on if a guy can get 5K outta a motor? Thats astounding.

FIRST YEAR

This engine got put to its limits the first day out. My sled is a summit 146 with 1.5 track, Im a very finely tuned trim pilot at about 280lbs dressed. -20 degrees celcius had about 50 miles on it and lined it up in a mile long lentil field, ran against a 1000 crossfire with y pipe and air box mods a F8 firecat with y pipe and air box mod and a 800xp renegade ported with a RK tek head. . Closes sled to me was the 800xp at about 6-7 lenghts behind then the 1000 cat then the F8.

LAST YEAR

Raced a 2002 XCR with a Rob Schoopin triple engine 800 run a quarter mile he ended up about 3 lengths behind at the end.
The 860 makes all its damage in about the first 200 to 300 feet it pulls away.

When are you expecting your stuff to show up?
I might have to swing by Alpine and check it out

Could be late next week. Not really sure, I know BJ will get it here before the snow flies for sure. Then DAN da Man will wrap it up.
