....and I know you were....the broken down ZR from the Muni ride is getting some new parts! :rockon: Yup, with any luck, she'll be back on the snow by this weekend. Gonna cost me some $$$, but I'll have almost a brand new engine when it's done. BTW - see the picture of the piston.

Thanks to all for all of the help. A huge thanks to Rick (don't know his handle) for letting me ride his Viper on Friday. That really saved me some $$$.

Mr. Sled, I was trying to get you this pic for your big Muni Ride recap, but I guess this will have to do. BTW - I may have another pic of Billy doing some praying after coming back from the garage on Friday night. ;):D

Yup, GOOD STUFF!!

Welcome aboard! If I don't have to adjust my ski tie downs, I might even let you put that in my trailer
 
I knew who it was, that is why I offered to stick it in my trailer... go to the tech page and see my top end :(
 
Well, a little over one month and $1200 later, and I got her all fixed and back together running. Yeah, that seems like a long time and a lot of $$$ to me too, but when I had her out this weekend, it seemed all worth it. Wow, what a difference! My seld hasn't pulled this hard in a LONG time, and the rings probably aren't even fully seated yet.

Here's what I ended up having to do: Sent crank out to be trued and welded, replaced both crank bearings, replaced both crank seals, had one cylinder re-plated, replaced two pistons, replaced APV cables and a number of gaskets. In other words, it's essentially a brand new motor and yes, it's still stock displacement.

Still not sure what caused the problem in the first place, but I guess I learned a lot about motors and maintenance. Now, if only I can get invited up to Backwoods Bills to really see what the Kitty Cat can do. Or.....are you afraid? ;)!

Randy, you gonna go up this weekend? I think we're going up to Grand Marais on Thursday? Anyone else? Chris? Ski? Larry, I already know your answer.
