hey guys, about got my ranger done (good enough to last threw winter) and now its time to get my shit together. I used to have a 98 Polaris 700 indy xc, witha 144, after market reeds, boost tube, comp pistons and some more goodies i got and put in with a mechanic friend on the west coast.
BUT, now i live in SouthEastern Iowa... and this time its a new sled... (dont ask) but im working with an 2001-02 Arctic Cat 600 powder special. it is a 144 2up, my little sister doesn’t ride so im taking it. Clutch blew shooting down through the belly pan and then the off balance crank shaft ended up doing catastrophic ring, piston and cylinder wall damage. she had no idea and drove it for 20+ miles thinking “well this feels weird, OH WELL”.
My plan is to either rebuild the engine or find a new on to drop in.
Either way its gunna be built with a little more balls then before, so i guess im asking if anyone in my neck of the woods knows of local shops OR can point me to a website or a company that has a good reputation, service and of corse a good price.
the plan is fresh engine, tear off that old 80lb 2 person seat, slap in a boss or custom light weight seat, cut the rails off and rivet in new aluminum deep power-clear out’s and put on my (off the gone polaris) simmons flex ski’s
