Agreed, I never understood the need for the armor-plating on the mag side cage. Why not just bend a couple pieces of DOM tubing that fit around the recoil!?!? That's what I'm doing.

For $1200, that Engine and parts should be cleaned up to look / run like new with some bling!

also theres no bolts included with it at all wtf? they should come with the Engine mount bolts at least

the engines are referbished ???

PM sent Joe! Just after the clutch...

I messaged him about what refurbished means,this was his response

HI, all my engines are completely disassembled, cleaned, verified, at the very least if everything is good i rebuild them with new gaskets,seals and rings

He did not answer question about pics of completed assembly.I cant imagine him not being aware of this thread or this forum,why he doesnt come on here I don't know

I don't care who's selling it, if someone is advertising a "refurbished Engine" for a hefty price...I want to see pics of the before & after OF THE EXACT Engine I'M BUYING, a pic of the compression gage readings, the math on the bore/pistons, and a list of what was replaced or upgraded.

Otherwise just list it as a "USED Engine."

You can pick-up a complete "used" Rotax 470, the mount, modify the pipe yourself...and prob save yourself about 50%. But, the price seems to be fine since people are buying!?!? There is always a price for convenience. ;)

For someone like me who has no welder or fabrication experience,or access to lots of used rotax engines,it looks like it would be useful.In Texas theres not a lot of snowmobiles we can pull an Engine out of

Joshdirtbike bought an kit from him

He said it looked new

Said it had new pistons and the cases were split as there was new silicone between them




Or an list of recits would be good too

Yes but like redskinman said if you don't live in an area where there are sleds then its an convience


I agree with D$* I picked up my 537 for $180 compression is great
All the Engine needs is new gaskets so ill have $250 into the Engine by the time it's done then I could call it referbished

that's good

that Engine are u getting?

Heres his website

i would personally go with the 470

less power to tear up the trans

I would prefer single intake
Jetting would be Easyer
And so I could make an air box

I went with a 38mm single on my 440 Pilot setup and a single pipe my Engine makes more power than my full modified Pilot Engine did it also makes plenty of torque, nice thing about the rotary valve Engine you can play with the intake timing set it up for more torque or more RPM, my Engine was designed to run 8700 RPM I and running about 7400 RPM peak.

In the future if you want more power they do make 44mm or is it 46mm carbs you can try or even try the dual 38mm carbs if you feel your lacking power.

Had my clutching at 8200 RPM for a short wile Engine made noticeably more power but it was all wheel spin.

Looking forward to watching your build Joe. I like lots of pics of how/why stuff.
