Nothing, it's just not called "Indy Dan HG7 Honing" and he doesn't make any money off of it.

Again the stuff he speaks of isn't new, its all written in books anyone with ambition can pick up and read (Plateau honing/ultra finish honing). RKTech and Indy are amazing at selling they're re-invented wheels. Then going after others for "stealing" they're ideas.

Back to the 850..

Wow, jealous or what? I suppose you can do a better hone out back in your shed with some 3M sandpaper and o bottle of marvel mystery oil?!

Oh crap, I'm screwed. My 3000 grit wet/dry sand paper wrapped around a tuna fish can using Remington gun oil won't work?????

Sorry, I had to add some sarcasm.

Which statement would you liked backed up? Nothing I said needs backing up. You just agreed that it isn't new technology. It's just that you blew a big wad of money screwing it up for awhile and now are an expert. I do that **** all the time, but I don't claim to be a expert after. All I basically said is others are doing the same thing your doing, and have been for a very long time. It's nothing new. Which you agreed with if I'm not mistaken?

I hope that "statements without backing them up" wasn't some sort of threat.

Never claimed theft, where's PAR?

I think dan was looking for specific examples of other shops, oem’s or individuals providing an hg7 cylinder finish service for snowmobile motors.

Has it been tested in the field to provide similar longevity?

Sincere question.

I see it as similar to providing an FF 15 concrete slab.
Lots of contractors claim they can but few actually can.

But floor flatness is harder to hide than errors in an internal engine!:face-icon-small-win

And those of us who actually can, have replaced a lot of concrete getting there. Similar to The way Dan had to fix a lot of engines. Experience is king when it comes to getting stuff right.

10.7 hours on my 850. Was dropping rpm from 8300 to 6700 in two back to back climbs. I pulled the side panel to discover oil all over the clutches. It is coming from behind the primary. I assumed from the pto oil line coming off. It pUddled under the clutches. Still idled fine and made it 12 miles off the hill, though it now needs work. Take it for what’s it worth.

Did a leak down on the 850 this morning in the shop. 62*.
It has great numbers for the amount of time on it. Both holes were at 3%. I’m, as the kids say, stoked.

You made me curious, had to do the the same. I wanted to check for a baseline. I only have 2.4 hours on it, 24ish miles I think. All flatland. ( trying to break it in a little before heading to cooke) Well warmed up, driven about ten miles, completely cooled down, and repeat. Not babied, but not held wide open the whole time either.
129-130psi mag
130-131psi pto
Both sides were at a touch less than 1.5% leakdown
sled was cold, 45* in the garage, pics of pistons and their coatings are in an earlier post. Can't wait to run this motor in the deep stuff....

Looks like we will see a lot of opened side panels this year. Us Doo guys letting our clutches cool, and the Poo guys making sure there oil lines haven’t popped off. What ever happened to the days of just riding?

No kidding!

Thats why I have my stable of sleds... old iron pull the rope and rip! Still faster than anything new on the snow and since im not chris burandt (like so many think they are nowadays) ill just stick to what I always tell people:

"what I lack in talent I just try to makeup in horsepower"

Glad to see this thread calm down a bit but also sad to see this thread calm down a bit!

It might be posted on another thread but I am sure not on this one. This is interesting. Mostly because this issue came up on this thread as well as the bearing issue.

Thanks for posting it. This will be interesting.

Maybe you should start another thread with this info!

Was ripping down the trail on the way to what looked like a good day of riding. Cruising along and the motor falls on its face and shuts off. Long story short 5.3 hrs on motor, crank bearing.

Damn. That sucks the big one. New machines shouldn’t be doing this. That is why you buy NEW, right?
