Blown engine update

[elf]

As I tore into the old 2010 600RMK engine after it blew up it was obvious it needed more than a new top end. Had a chunk of cylinder wall broken off that got ground up in the crank, took out an injector and punched a hole in the bottom of the crankcase. Started pricing out all the parts I was going to need and it was getting expensive. I found a guy who had a 2011 engine with under 1000 miles on it for sale so I jumped on that. Dropped it in on Saturday and its back alive now. Just in time for the snow on Thursday. Maybe I can get another 9100 miles out of that sled yet (or at least my son can.) Sorry for the sideways photos, I can't seem to correct them.


The new engine

Gary needs to work his magic and flip the photos!

So you can’t see much but there’s an injector in there gone plus a crack/hole in the crank and then you can see the missing chunk of the cylinder wall. Lots of flakes of aluminum in that side when I pulled the jug off.

Definitely some garage wall art there - thanks for sharing

Darn Yamahoppers are always on their side or upside down.

Thats Funny.
But just cuz its Blue, doesn't mean it a Yamahahahah.
Do you know why, when you flip photos, they won't open full size wheb you click them. At least on my phone this time they won't, originals do.

You are correct sir. I posted before my first cup of coffee. I saw an engine in pieces and a blue hood and just assumed....well, you know.

Actually you probably wouldn’t see a Yamaha engine in pieces.

And you're probably right but any brand's engine can look like the one in the picture due to wear & tear, etc. We have Yamaha's TR1 engine in our Waverunner and it's a fine motor, very solid.
