    2011 m8 or 2012 rmk

    thinking about buying a new sled soon.I like how the pro 163 handled. but I dont like polaris's history with engines blowing up. the m8 153 felt okay for the 10 minutes I rode it, though I would go with a 162. since I'm undecided I was hoping to get some opinions to help me out. thanks.

    its time for crank work

    Thanks. Is the engine plate just a torque arm? I've got 2979.9 miles on her, were there issues with oil pumps that a guy needs to eliminate it at this age?
