Brother great video. I’m a ski doo guy but Polaris Triples are the bomb especially the ones you build. Thanks for the great education on Polaris but can be used on any rebuild. You’re the Boss of the Triple Brother. Thanks again Cape Breton 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
The early 90s Indy 500s had the same problem. I had two that went down on me. The chamfer on the oil holes is exactly the path we took. Ran without problems after we rebuilt them.
Was hoping you would do a video on that engine can't wait for the next one luckily I never had a problem with my 95 xlt the young guy I sold it to is still running it had almost 5000 on it when sold 👍👍👍
Good tip on the square bit. Tim knows some stuff. Good reminder on the crank keys. I should get a couple new keys in stock for my Tom Gara cranks, if they are still available.
If ya love 'er, lube 'er! Lots of options, but overall haven't found anything better than Loctite 515/518 for good smooth cases. Yamabond, Suzuki sealer, etc all good options too, bit thicker than really needed IMO, but they won't fail. Great tip on stator screw, those have foiled many a project- beauty of the community, sharing those secrets!
I`m sure there are other ways, but I have always used a nylon rope to hold the piston. Just making sure a guy has the piston up enough so the rope does not catch a port. That tidbit of info on the punch....never heard that! Almost makes me excited to use that...weird to think that 😂
Hey Todd! Great video! So many XLT’s out there, this is beneficial to alot of us sledheads 👍 Lots of good tips in there! I’ve always liked YamaBond for crankcase halves, seems to work good! I think 97 was the first year of the 4th oil line🤔 Cheers buddy 🍻
Always great to watch your videos. I’m having issues with the water pump on my 02 xcr800. 3500 miles and had a bearing failure that broke the driven gear. I purchased a replacement from amazon that lasted an amazing 12 miles. I could see no issues with the gear on the Crank, everything was clean and showed no damage etc. Do you have a pump you’d recommend and anything else I should be aware of? The engine was modified when new (and I mean new) by hot to go (?). Heads, jetting, pipes,base gaskets, clutching, blah blah. This is a sled Ive known about for at least fifteen years and I scooped up when the original owner decided to sell. Other mods done were skis, 136 track m10 suspension and about 769 studs!! Actually he gave me the original zero mile x10 skid for my 97 xcr440 that was begging t have its skid overhauled. It was so perfect and clean I was hesitant to use it! Literally be on his shop wall since he brought the sled home from the dealer when new.. anyway I’ve heard there may be issues to watch for with these 800 pumps and thought you or other triple lovers can help me out. PS this sled is by far the fastest I’ve sat on ever. I cannot pull the trigger from a standing start, I unfortunately have cardiovascular issues and i pass out unless I roll on the throttle. Great fun! Cheers! Keep it up down there.
There is a couple pump rebuilders out there. Amazon and eBay should be ashamed of themselves selfs for that junk pump they sell. Not one will ever make it to 100 miles. What country are you in? Email me polaris.trashcan@gmail.com
Just wondering do you have the crank pins welded so they don't go out of phase. Thought that was a problem with the xlt's with the higher RPM With pipes. Thanks
Is Been 15 or so years since I worked on the 600 triple, I don't remember the oil line on the PTO, mine had the 3 oil injector lines only, think they were late 90s, am I wrong?

Thanks man. Yes this is definitely useful information for any engine build.

Great to know. Thanks for sharing

Nice

Tom still has cranks. I just sent him someone a couple weeks ago
Nice to learn different tricks. Thanks for sharing.
Never hurts 😁
Thanks Todd! It’s ABOUT TIME!!!! 😎👍
More to come!
Man I wish I knew about the #2 square drive trick years ago. Sure hope I remember it. Ty
Don't we all 😂

Love it 😂
Love these videos. Love watching them come together. So awesome, keep up the great work. Triple love 4life.. thank you buddy.
Glad you like them!
I'll be tacking mine apart soon want to put fresh crank seals in great video
I hope I helped somehow
Another great video...thanks for showing us!
You bet!

Works great with the punch. Wait till the next video on the rope 😉
fun watching you put it all back together, I always seem to learn something, never hurts to have more info!
Glad I can help somehow
Sick video every time 🤘 thank you
Thanks for watching!
Love the videos alot of knowledge being passed on
Sharing what I know
Thanks for sharing your knowledge Todd on all things triple.
You bet
The rope can twist your crank. You need an adjustable outside spanner
I disagree but we all can have our opinion 😁

Kind of was thinking the same on the year
Thank you
You're welcome
👍👍👍

Hey Todd thank you. Quick questions do you ever run a honing stone by hand over the case machined surfaces
I don't

Don't know if you tried this on the key way. Good set of Dykes or side cut pliers
Just wondering do you have the crank pins welded so they don't go out of phase. Thought that was a problem with the xlt's with the higher RPM With pipes. Thanks
Good job did you add a fourth oil line? I see a brass elbow
No stock in 98
Does the Chamfer clean up the casting defect, or are you running a drill bit down the hole to clean it up also?
A drill bit is needed to clean up the casting. Most of those cases don't exist now. The cranks didn't last long in them
Sweet! Lots of those out there. How do the mono compare HP wise to the others?
Stock is about 95. With the Aaen pipes 105 too 108
My ultra Freedom is 160 ish
Is Been 15 or so years since I worked on the 600 triple, I don't remember the oil line on the PTO, mine had the 3 oil injector lines only, think they were late 90s, am I wrong?
As I said I was thinking 97 was the first year
Where are you located I need a storm rebuilt
Very nice could you guys do my motor I love what you guys do from Steven kako from menahga Minnesota 😊
😁
noooo there is a oil journal that needs trenched out. on the pto end. so it washes the outside of the bearing.
Isn't that why they added the 4th oil line for that exact reason?
🔥👊🔥⚙️🏍🔨⚠️

@@toddclyne3493 any snow out your way ? I’m out by north bay Ontario, got 5-6” yesterday, took sleds out for lil rip
