This past Sunday on the river my motor seized @ 7000RPM. I was having issues with it before this with the 7000 RPM wall, then it seems to be running ok and now this happens. I haven't torn into the motor yet. The '99 XCR SP 440's are rare and they don't manufacture the pistons as far as I can gather. Its a Liberty engine.
My question is, what other liberty engine will fit and give me the least amount of hassle to get this sled on the snow again. I really don't want to rebuild a motor that they don't make parts for any more. I love my edge sled just need some advice on which motors will work and which ones won't. Or even if a Fuji motor will work. I'm open to suggestions here, this sucks. I know this has happened to others in the past, just not sure if I should go with a 800, 600 or 440 V.E.S. Just like to know what has worked and what hasn't worked.
Thanks
