I just purchased a 2008 RZR 800 that had a seized motor. I tore it apart and one of the rods sheared at the crank side and took out the crank, rods, pistons, cylinders, and camshaft. Case halves look just fine and same with the head.
Anyways, I ordered everything to rebuild it to original spec with all original Polaris parts except for the crank. I opted for the Hot Rods crankshaft.
So now i have a question… For those of you that have used the hot rods crank, how have you chosen the correct journal main bearings? I have read that there is color coded bearing halves based on the crank and case numbers but Im not sure if there is numbers on the hot rods crank. Also, the manual I downloaded does not indicate anything about different bearings.
I have searched for days but have not found anything on this. Any help would be appreciated. thanks
