Awesome...thanks for the coverage!

[teamsynergy]

We're out... thanks to a damn cam lobe... but... nows the time to add more power muhahahahaha...

[Magic Medicine]

Sorry to hear that Todd. More power is a good thing!!!!:driving:

[SC288]

Are you out for Hardy as well? We've got some minor repairs to make on ole Twin Whacka's as well before then.

[Magic Medicine]

I would imagine not as he rounded off and came lobe. Both engines are coming out for a refresh, and some goodies.

[Ratickle]

That sucks.....

[redhotsommer]

We're out... thanks to a damn cam lobe... but... nows the time to add more power muhahahahaha...

Bummer dude! Didn't you say you were hearing something odd at Michigan City?

[MILD THUNDER]

We're out... thanks to a damn cam lobe... but... nows the time to add more power muhahahahaha...

Flat tappet cams need oil with lots of ZDDP. Like valvoline VR-1 racing, or Kendall racing "titanium". Extended idling kills them too, so a occasional shift into nuetral and throttling up with throw some oil on the cam lobes to keep them lubed...

Sorry to hear about your troubles...

[teamsynergy]

Yeah... I think we're done for at least a couple months. Pulling the hurt motor tomorrow and going to yank the heads to be freshened up by Jim Valeko. From there, start the tear down to get the cam out. ECM is getting sent out for re-flash and ording a customer grind hyd roller setup. Screw this flat tappet bull$hit! As far as oil goes, I was running the valvoline VR-1 20w50, it the only thing I have ever run in the boat however during the fun run, I did hear an occasional ticking noise coming from the port motor right where that lifter that ate the cam was at.... oh well. What are you gonna do?? Been doing some extended research on oils and thinking of switching over to Brad Penn oil... any thoughts?

After the hurt motor is complete, I will pull the other motor out and perform the same surgery...

Brad Penn is some good stuff. Ive always used VR-1, but have switched to Kendall Titanium, but i do have roller cams. Wise choice going to Jimmy Valako for head work.

The custom roller sounds like a great upgrade for you. Its free HP just going to the roller, plus a more aggressive profile should wake things up. Might want to look into studding the rods, mains, and heads, some good head gaskets, and up the boost a bit too!

[teamsynergy]

Head gaskets are going to cometic and I think I am going bump the boost to 7psi. With the new ecm program, I am told that the engines will safely run it. From there, I am leaving them alone. The have low hours on them so I am not going to re-ring or bearing them unless I see evidence of major wear or damage. We are mid 90's now, I can only hope that this will push us to the 100 mark lol

[MILD THUNDER]

Sounds like a good deal! with the right tune the added boost should not be an issue at all...I still like head studs though.

[teamsynergy]

Yeah, at first, I was going to leave it as stock as I could and I still might do that as far as the boost goes. Just want them to be reliable and turn key. I'm just glad this didn't happen mid summer or I would really pissed as I scrambled around trying rush through getting it fixed. Thanks for the ideas Joe!

I am a distributor for Amsoil and I can sell it too you pretty cheap, food for thought. Drop shipped directly to your house or shop, synethetic drive oil to bout!

[teamsynergy]

Yeah, I am a dealer as well, however, I just burn it in my sled and thats it. Good Point though... maybe I shoudl look into that...hmmmm

[Magic Medicine]

20w50 dominator comes to mind. Teague had into in the formulation of the one of the 20w50 oils, formulation for marine environment. They make sleds
that still burn oil?????????????

[teamsynergy]

The only sleds that matter... MINE.... screw the apex bull $hit! LOL

BTW, I still like knowing that when my battery dies that I can still pull start mine, can you do that with yours?

Thanks for the info, I'll run the formula info and see what I get.

nope, but the battery won't die or I can jump it from another sled. I can tell you my sled has NEVER left me in the woods!!! Can you run 8K miles on the orginal engine. I figure that the motor would be ready for its second or third rebuild by then.

[teamsynergy]

8K...HELL NO! I barely got 2400 till I lost the crank but then again its either wide open or off with me on the trails so cant blame it on the motor lol. I would entertain the idea on a 4 stroker but then again... I love the oil/fuel mix all to much to give it up... screw the EPA!

[redhotsommer]

Todd...looks like you are NOW going to have to put up with us in the winter as well. I just went 4-stroke...can't wait to run it!

[teamsynergy]

Tell me you at least went ski doo and not the yamalog crap...lol

whatcha runnin?

[redhotsommer]

Wife is on a Yami - it's what Queen's ride. ;) I got this last April and it has .3 miles on it:

[teamsynergy]

Yeah baby.... I assume its the 1200, not the baby 600 ace? You'll love it. I rode one last year in the UP for a week... very nice. Then I came home and had to replace the crank in my 08 800r XP. I wanted to ****can the 800 but I cant bring myself to get rid of the 2 strokes yet.... maybe in a few more years but not yet!

[redhotsommer]

I rode Twin Whackas 1200 and liked it, then rode another buddy's this winter and liked it more. My XP800 was the bomb-diggity...LOVED the sled and it gave me no problems at all...but I wanted the reliability of the 4-stroke, and since I already had one (wife's RS Vector), I'd get another.

Oh yeah...its still August...the thread is about the Shootout...and we're talkin' sleds! Hahaha!

Twin Lakes for the Christmas-New Year week, anyone? Phil the f'n jerk is in!

[Magic Medicine]

8K...HELL NO! I barely got 2400 till I lost the crank but then again its either wide open or off with me on the trails so cant blame it on the motor lol. I would entertain the idea on a 4 stroker but then again... I love the oil/fuel mix all to much to give it up... screw the EPA!

My point extactly, I got 9k in mine and its spends the majority of the time riding bar to bar with the flipper mashed down. Sounds like if I jumped back on a mustard bucket I would be on my 3rd sled:rolleyes:

[Magic Medicine]

Tell me you at least went ski doo and not the yamalog crap...lol

whatcha runnin?

F that guy phil, tell him stay home and send the misses!!!!

I really like the 1200's just not fast enough outa the box for me:cool:

So when you say flipper... you mean brake lever? All kiddin' aside Skidoo has hopefully got their $hit together on these new 800etecs. There were/are known crank problems on the 800r's especially if you ride'm hard and fast....

[MILD THUNDER]

You can always have the best of both worlds and buy a polaris. A two stroke that lasts like a 4 stroke and a superb suspension. Of course that would mean you would have to buy american. Not some pansy a$$ french canadian crap (skippy doo) or the japs revenge for the A-Bomb (yamaha).

Pretty soon skidoos biggest sled out will be the size of a mini z and weigh as much as a paper airplane. All the doo riders will just keep complaining that their pansy a$$es cant manuever the sled cuz its too heavy. I hear skidoo is gonna start making a snow trail version of a segway.

As for yamaha, sure their reliable. But so is andy's john deere lawn tractor, although the handling and suspension award would have to go to the lawn tractor.

Arctic cat is sweet, but its time their customers hang up the lime green and black leather jackets and lose the mullets.

ZING! Now this is coming from a guy who rides in the rear of the pack, and prefers sitting in a hottub sipping goose while in the U.P. and no longer even owns a sled...lol Just stirring the pot for you guys!!

Don't need brake with the engine braking. Yep she likes to

That looks like alot of fun,but I have to agree our machines are better suited for the flat lands!!!
