top end rebuild..

[timo]

what would is roughly cost on one piston at a dealership?

 

[polarisrider1]

depends.

 

[elf]

I just bought a new Polaris 600 piston and it was about $200 but that included next day shipping.

depends on sled and what the jug looks like .
top end on most sleds can be done by most any one that can use a wrench in less than 3hr.
most dealers charge about a grand for top end jobs. got to keep the lights on

 

[polarisman_98]

Yeah I was going to say around $1000-$1200 probably...

 

[ezra]

but if 1 side went down 1st question to find answer to is why?
otherwise just wasting time and $$$$$$

11000 miles answer your question?

[mjkaliszak]

I would do both ... thus freshen up the top....

At 11000 mi look into a new short block $2500 installed

 

[indy_500]

at 11k miles if the cylinders aren't ruined id get an SPI piston kit hone the cylinders and run it until the crank goes.

 

[nrascals]

$1000 for two $500 plus for one hole only
hope you find a good dealer who stands behind his work

Most of the time it's the customer who has to stand behind their cheapness.

Wow! Glad I had friend help me on this last month. 168$ for a top end rebuild kit with pistons and crank seals, new H2O pump belt, misc clamps and hoses, coolant, pizza, and a couch to crash on kept me right around 200 bucks. Even at 7800 miles both pistons looked great when we pulled them 99 700 xc.

11000 miles and you only want to do 1 piston? When are you going to do the other one(s)?

11000 miles answer your question?

 

[timo]

I'm doing both this spring-summer.

Call Matt at MCB and do the top end and be done with it till the crank goes.

 

[longtrack]

At 11000 Miles use your money for a New Sled and sell that one for Scrap.

And I bet you bought cheap pistons, and never checked the cylinder clearances.

Do what you can afford but if 11,000 miles on DI 2s not worth it crank failure is around next corner.
