RZR just died… please help

Good afternoon. A buddy of mine said I should post here to ask for assistance with an issue before "blindly" tearing into my RZR to figure out what went wrong. So, upon his advice, here’s the skinny…

I was about to head off base, driving about 20 mph when I heard a clanking noise from the engine bay and the RZR started to slow. The Engine was still running and as I applied more gas, the RZR continued to go slower while the clanking got louder. As I stopped, it sputtered out until it died and would not restart.

It is a 2013 RZR 800 S LE and the only mod I have done thus far is I snorkeled it (and ran all vent lines up to snorkel height) and applied dielectric grease to all of the electrical connections. It has run fine twice since those mods for about 3-4 hours each time with no issues.

What I know so far…

– The fuel pump is working fine (pulled the line off and turned ignition on, fuel shot up about 8-10")
– Fuel appears clean, no dirt/debris in tank
– The air filter is not clogged
– The CVT belt is good (practically band new, can still see the numbers on it)
– Engine still turns over, although there is a bit of a grinding noise (this worries me)
– Oil level is good, Oil is clean (no metal shavings, a little dark)
– Getting compression at the exhaust pipe while engine is turning over
– No status lights on the instrument cluster

Has anyone had any similar experiences? I’d like to get some advice before I start blindly ripping the valve cover off my engine (although I have a feeling I’ll be doing that anyway in order to figure out the grinding sound).

Thank you in advance for any assistance anyone can provide.

pro armor cab enclosure and heater opinions

What do you guys think of the pro armor cab and adding a heater for the winter or an out of town trip wit possible rain?
I just bought some pro armor doors so I can run their cab. The only problem I can see is that my rzr has the factory rear cage and I haven’t seen a single pic of the cab with the bars going thru it. Also what windshield do you guys use with it. It looks like I’ll also have to move my light bar for a full windshield.
Do the cabs seal well enough for a heater to be worthwhile or is it not worth the money without a solid cab. I’m not going to invest in more then the PA cab. Just want to take the kids out longer and give them a chance to warm up while back roading and sledding around.

I know it’s early but trying to work it all out now so when summers over I got it figured out, or if we go out of town we have it as an option to go out in the rain.
