if Mike Black works on it it won't last long and no warranty

Took it back to Mike Black and he checked it out - got it back and it seized after 5 min - wrecked the new pistons and cylinders. Talked to Mike and found out there is no warranty on his work. Took it to an actually licensed mechanic to rebuild the top end and he found Mike only used a gasket...

I was wondering if it is possible to find the original engine serial number from the skidoo serial number on the sled?

No , it was rebuilt at Crowd Pleaser Motor sports and the new crank was packed with grease. The coolant quite leaking now after it has run 3 hrs

The engine was just rebuilt this spring - new crank,pistons,rings, seals - only has 3 hrs on new engine

My 2006 rt1000 starts up great and idles at 2000 rpm and sounds great with lots off power. After it runs for a while it won't idle down (idles at about 3000rpm) and doesn't seem to have as much power . Any ideas? It did have a small amount of glycol around 1 spark plug when cold

Thanks - that makes me feel alot better about putting it back together. The o rings all looked alright but the head bolts didn,t seem very tight on that side. Hoping new o rings will do the trick

Last weekend I had the PTO side head o ring fail and fill the cylinder with gylcol well running. Is it possible to damage crank with a sudden stop like that. The piston and cylinders look OK . Any advice would be welcome

I set my idle up to 1800 last week and haven't fouled a plug since - before that it was a set of plugs every cold start
