Thanks for this man - doing this now and found it really helpful

[@joelaichner3025]

Snowmobilers are funny ! Ride her hard, put her any wet

[@DK-pq8ym]

I'm a newbie and tearing down a couple sleds - all videos are awsome thankyou. Do you have a video on how to break open crank case / engine ? thks.

[@MarshallBLewis]

Yeah here you go czcams.com/video/htbB1uWJ4kk/video.html

[@CygnusHomes]

Video was helpful, do you have one that shows stator/timing install

[@MarshallBLewis]

As far as timing goes, you just line up the mark on the stator plate with the mark on the block / crankcase. There's no need to "time" the engine with a timing light. Here's the install video: czcams.com/video/6Ces1CHUavo/video.html

You should have put your oil injection shaft be fore putting the cases back together

[@douglasmunn30]

i was thinking this as well but it looks like it goes in fine after it’s slapped together in a later video.

[@kevin4powers]

what happeneds if the sealent squirts on the inside of the engine?

[@MarshallBLewis]

just wipe it off

[@DeanMartinson]

So when you torque the bolts,a torque wrench is measuring friction. Never install any bolts that are to be torqued dry. always install some kind of lube.

[@MarshallBLewis]

I researched what you're talking about cause you're the first person I've ever heard say that and I found that wet torque is "better" but dry torque is the expected method given by snowmobile and automotive manuals unless they clarify lubricating the bolts first which the Polaris manual I was using did not (at least that I read or I would have done it). Of all the mechanics I've worked with and watched on CZcams, not one has lubricated a bolt before torquing it unless it was an especially rusty area and then they would apply copper anti seize for that reason. I've also used a Subaru and Toyota repair manual for my vehicles and have never seen any wet torque recommendation at least not for most outer engine components like the belt tensioner and timing covers I was recently installing.
