Looks like another 900 engine rebuild this one is down on compression and burning oil so it will be a complete teardown rebuild and back to running condition[emoji111]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170731/5dba52472568410ee1b160d48085b372.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170731/58754b6216f7e14f95ec88106c33506d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170731/94168900e4c6c1afc37382040a097318.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170731/e6621cbe5f9fe69e03cbc615556e44f0.jpg

Looks like this car has been running rich for a while, that's the problem with running an aftermarket fuel controller with no AFR gauge.
By looking at the bottom of the oil pan you can see how the oil separated from the fuel that's in ithttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170801/1c1cce92672cd4ca639c64fcf131758d.jpg

Just got everything back from the Machine Shop having everything hot Tanked an cleaned, and now to address the issue when I was taking the engine out and loosening everything up I noticed one of the motor mounts just kept spinning freely and when I looked underneath I saw that it was broken.

This is what can happen when you have worn-out motor mounts or if the torque sequence wasn't done correctly.

So the correct way to weld this motor mount back on is to assemble the motor of course not with all the internal parts but bolt the cases down together and the oil pan to keep it from warping

Here's another tech tip for anybody that rebuilds these engines.

Notice the hole in the yellow circle, I've actually seen it where the hole was not there, that teeny little hole is what lubricates the whole top end of the engine cams Springs Etc.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170824/4c2843e06cccb4d0c3c0325ecf42f550.jpg

I put 350 miles on it after picking up the rzr from Ben. It ran flawless. I did nave a rock get in between the rear inner cv and knock the cv boot off on our last day and make a big greasy mess. It was super clean when I picked it up so I'm kinda bummed it got all greased up. I'll need to clean her up again. Ben did a excellent job on the rebuild!!!
