I only ask because I've spent about the same time on both machines, and don't know which one I like better.

My friend is on his 3rd motor on his 18 cat in 3000km. If you call that reliable then...

He is happy though, because it is not nearly as big of pile of chit as his 16, or 14.

Cat owners have low expectations LMAO

Stock engine, lives in Revelstoke rides hard ext. Could be just an anomaly but how many of these new Ctecs are out there with high KMs?

No one around Revelstoke rents them? These thing might just start blowing like a heroin hor, too early to say IMO



The Suzuki engines were reliable, but all kinds of other issues with the sleds (from what ive seen, your results may vary)

Fair enough. Was just curious if he had anything done to it. It is pretty early to call them reliable at this point. The Suzuki is a proven engine. These ones still have to prove themself.

Half baked engineers? Lazy union workers? Cheap chinese aluminum?

I know a fella that lost a motor in his '18 cat as well. I believe he said there was lots of scuffing on the pistons if I remember correctly. The Ctec oil is too thin in his personal opinion. He's running apv in it now

So they never told him what they fixed?

Did he get warranty? How many kms did he have on engine? I’m pulling the trigger on a ‘18 Sno Pro over the summer. Just want to know if I should keep my ‘13 or sell it. I think my dealer will be good to deal with.

skegpro said:

Haha no doubt.

Did a rodcome through the block or something that he got a whole crate engine and not just a rebuild?

pinko said:

He definitely didn't pay for his motor, demo sled. Cat is usually pretty good with warranty though
