Anyone know the differences between the 94,95,96 v max 600 motors. I was told that they differed in hp. Any reason why?
Thanks Dennis

Did the 96s have a layered head gasket?...IE peel-able.Head gasket thickness by year
1994-95' .6mm
1996 1.4mm
1995-96 Mountain max 600's were .8mm
I dont mean to hi jack, but I just picked up an 88 Exciter with a Vmax 600 motor in it. To my surprise, it seems to have a mild port job and Im guessing by the looks of it the head was milled. It has a serial number prefix of 8CA. I was wondering if any of you guys could tell me the year of this engine.
I do remember you saying something like that. Since the chassis that the 600 came in is pretty much junk, Im thinking about dumping it into a 540 chassis. When are you tearing your aaen motor down so I can copy the porting??8ca is a 94 to 96 motor ..8CR is the 97-99 motor .....the 600 motors where identical port wise ........just head gaskets in 96 and of course the exhaust ...in 97 they went to triple exhaust ports while the 2nd gen cylinders fit the 94-96 bottom end IMHO the 1st gen cylinders are better due to the intake side ...........
Shawn remember I have one set up like that with the Aaen motor in it
