Polaris Nikasil Coating

Do you have any experience with Rev 6 and their parts? That is who we ordered the cylinder from.

I do. They suck. And the cylinders are not new, unless its one that isnt a Polaris cylinder. Also there cases are refurbished. This company lies and sales shit. I had one of their pistons explode. Man, i tell ya, i got pictures and i spent alot of time dealing with these people. I ended up sending everything i brought from them back. There pistons are cheap Chinese crap. They are cast also. They dont have the cylinders coated like factory. They get their cylinders from a local company and half of them are knock offs. Any Polaris cylinder they send are refurbs and not coated. When it comes to major parts like crank, cylinder, pistons,bearings , you better use OEM. I can point out any lie they say about their parts,and i have proof.

Hey, I have a 2013 RZR 900 with a +3mm Big Bore from Rev6. After less than 100 miles the engine started smoking. When I got it apart, I found that the nikasil coating had a large chunk taken out of it. I am curious what could have caused this. Is this a problem with the part or with assembly? I am also curious where I can get a new cylinder of this size. I can not find any of them from the higher end companies. The only ones I can find are from cheap Chinese companies. Are the cheap ones any good?

Don't mess with rev6. Get in touch with me and I'll give you plenty of reasons. Youll have to get a new cylinder anyway,so go back with Polaris stuff.

I will have to look into them next time.

If you use rev6 stuff ,the next time is already here.

If you could find a quality cylinder that wasn't coated, then i would use that. Because on the coated cylinders, once you use them,its over, , you have to replace the cylinder every time you replace the rings. Or if you don't, then they start having blow by after a few hours of running.
