Tearing the ENGINE out of our new RZR Pro R! Full disassembly! 

Thats one way to get an in depth look at the new unit.

The factory needs to take a look at this video. The oil pan had baffling in it. That motor should not have been that easy to kill. Just my opinion. You guys have done cyclones in every other stock sxs.

Nick and Leo walking backwards in the time lapse bout had me dead hahaha

Leo and Sous at 10:30 had me dying! Just two goobers being goobs! Tough break on the R but she will be back better than ever!

Really disappointed Polaris doesn't have some sort of low oil pressure safety built into the tune. Not even sure if the Turbo S and Pro XP models have a oil pressure sensor as well. Seems pretty important in high performance engines.

Looks like a perfect candidate for a built K20 swap with potentially a big turbo lol 😆 😄 🤣

Totally sucks to break it so soon, but you know you'll get some great content out of it... one of the first Pro R's in the USA to get engine mods.

I'm really glad you all took the engine apart instead of taking in for warranty work awesome video

i like matt being the camera man hes good he stays on point and dont over talk the person hes filming love all of you but thats my input

Man this was one the best videos in a while! I don’t mean that in a bad way, loved the detail on the engine work

The Naked Gun clip had me rolling!

K-swap time! Tons of aftermarket support, easy turbo options. Collaboration w PFI and/or BOOSTEDBOIZ….power potential out the roof

Doug's comment about buying it specifically for cyclones was hilarious

Wow guys tough break, but I’m amazed on the engine and how thorough you guys are, a bunch of respect.

I really enjoyed Matt behind the camera.

Great video, glad to see you guys tearing this engine down rather than having someone else do it....Keep doing what you do!!

Doug strikes me as that guy that everybody can't help but like. always very positive and super likeable. love listening to him talk about the builds.

On a positive note you guys are the first to have a tear down video on a pro r. Congrats!

In their ad Polaris specifically mentions their oiling system is designed to handle the extreme angles that come with rock crawling. I guess cyclones draw oil away from the pickup.

Love that you guys choose to tear it down for the fans instead of having warranty handle it. I learned so much about this machine in 27min.

Should cut the oil filter to see all the metal in it

yes, it has a dual mass coupler between the crank and clutch to dampen the torsionals from that 4 cylinder.

I just siezed yxz 1000r engine last weekend these last few few videos hit close to home! Keep up the great content guys!

Just joined, learning lots from you guys your great team together lots of talent. Keep it going. Thanks

Wow that is AWSOME you guys got it taken apart !!!! you might as well be the 1st to break it lol 😂 pretty dam cool to see the engine , looking forward to see what made it seized up and to be in the best hands 🙌 to ..

You’re a legend Doug 👍 “we’re ok boys, things aren’t great” onwards and upwards!

It seems like since the motor is super far to the rear, on a 4 seater, it experiences increased g forces. Maybe add an extra quart and send it again🤙🏻. You know for science

Doug you are the best!!! Greetings from Costa Rica!!! I used to ride RZR here…Super nice countryside for sxs,,

I'd look into and try to put a oil pressure sensor in some place and make it so if it looses oil pressure it cuts ignition....and maybe see about putting a windage tray in the pan with holes in it to keep some oil in the sump for oil pump and maybe try to run the pickup closer to bottom of the pan

We have a pro r in our shop after looking at the motor running the long axis instead of cross ways . I can see now how it might of starved the oil system but I believe it was a combo of things

That’s a tough break :( Can’t wait to see what’s the outcome of this PRO R :)) Great content guys

Love seeing Matt behind the camera!

Look forward to seeing what you all do with it.

"Too bad, we got this specifically for cyclones." 😂😂😂😂😂

That’s pretty similar to how my ranger diesel is with the bell housing and adapter to the primary clutch. It has a yanmar in it which is tractor/automotive style engine. Always cool to see how they engineer these. Awesome video, it’s a shame such a new machine has a totaled motor but if anyone would do it… it would be y’all lol

Id check the oil journals make sure there all clear make sure they havnt got anything blocking them id say seeing how the crank doesnt sit into the oil pan and its got somekinda weird windage tray thing going on the rotating assembly just cant get oil easy when ripping tight donuts lol

SXSBlog y'all rock! Love the channel and content! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace

Seeing the date on that motor really put it in perspective

Couldn’t be better timing. Just sat down to rip one before bed 👌🏼 SXSBLOGFTW

My Corvette has the Z51 track performance upgrade. The dry sump oil system is made for just this problem. You can't track run a C7 or C8 Corvette without the dry sump system. You don't want to oil starve the engine with lateral G forces. The SxS's don't USUALLY experience extended lateral G's. Usually. Good luck with the rebuild. Love the channel.

It’s Sunday night, family is asleep, I’m watching this tear down video……quietly laughing, and wearing my heck yah dude shirt.

Great tear apart video, can't wait for the put back together video.

Damn.... That was amazing. Thanks for blowing it up!

Thanks for the upload nick Leonard you made my night

Doug says"that's disappointing,we got this machine specifically for cyclones".OMG he is hilarious 😆 😂.Keep up the awesome videos.I would love to hang out on a dune day with this team.Suoer fun

Best RU-vid channel out there!

Watched this video like 10 times already, great content 👏

Doug is one hell of an optimist....to laugh it off at the end of the video.....sucker is cooked medium well

Yeah same thing happened to me when I was doin cyclones on my Zero Turn … cooked the motor … now I’m putting in a turbo since it’s gonna be upgraded… 🤷🏻

2018 Polaris sportsman 850 has that same dampener thing had to replace mine when the engine blew up it sounded like the new engine was knocking

Only one sxs channel is willing to go this bonkers. Love y'all 🤘🏻

Y'all are a rare breed, love y'all 👍👍

I seen the pond off the highway, y'all was ripping around on a few weeks back.

POLARIS in one world! TOP content!

Not as bad as I thought. Build the hell out of that thing and send it

Thank god yall washed it before pulling the motor. I was about to have a nervous breakdown. Lol

IF you watch the PRO STAR PRO R engine video they show something else behind the primary like an additional clutch.

Duuuude, me and my buddy still play NHL 96 on SEGA once a week. So fun

See ya on the big end because your done!

Nick Sous is a heck of a salesman! “If you don’t buy from us you’re losing your money twice”

Bearing spin directly proportional to cyclone speed! Skooked!

Dual mass fly wheel boys! Seen them on the VW and Audi cars forever.

Hell yea brothers. Lovin the good content.

Love Doug's "always a bright side" attitude! Now you build back better, turbo, exhaust and tune 450+HP!!!! Everyone wants to see this!

Gotta be some oiling upgrade opportunities to be had in that engine.

laughed hard than I probably should have at 10:30. Nick and Leo

Hopefully you guys get it back running soon.

BOW THERE IS A SIGHT... A CF MOTO PULLING A DEAD PRO R... PERFECT AD FOR CF MOTO

I work on logging equipment and they all have some sort of adapter plate and coupler to couple them to the pumps that actually spin the hydraulic pumps. They are always direct drive but ive ran into 2 styles where the plate that bolts to the fly wheel will be like a polymer then a adaptor that the pump shaft slides into and splines to the polymer plate. They are a wear item generally seeing about 8k-10k before they strip out so it's direct drive but can strip if something goes wrong it can strip it out if it needs to. There's some more kinda that all accomplish the same thing like a metal plate instead of polymer with sheer bolts instead. Makes me wonder if you could do something like that where it's more of a direct drive than what ever Polaris put in that has a lot of give to it, but if something were to lock up it would strip rather than break something out. And if you would notice more power on the dyno.

Loved it guys,...Now Lets see the Turbski...

You should try to do a dry sump if it’s possible for that engine! I really enjoy your guises Contant you make me laugh every time I watch it!

These guys should be on an R&D test team for one of the SxS manufacturers. They're always breaking shit!

I wish I could afford a side by side I love watching you guys' videos it's awesome

Baffled sump for the win 👌also Dr tune-a-few for the win too, a Doug is a much underestimated tool in any workshop haha

Super pumped she is not totally cooked. Had a feeling there would be potential issues going to a 4cylinder but I think it's the future

This build is going to be insane

Great opportunity to show the new engine and even greater opportunity to add some upgraded pistons,rods,studs and maybe a cam! We shall see let’s go boys squeeze all the pony’s out of that motor!

Both nicks when the time-lapse started...I had to rewind just to make sure I wasn't tripping out

Dry sump for the rebuild? And get an oi pressure sensor and a turbo while at it.

If you ain’t first, you’re last! Shake and bake

Wow! Amazing video! There is a lot to that engine! Seems kinda crazy that doing a cyclone would do all that to that engine. I hope you guys kind figure out a fix for that. Maybe Polaris will learn something from you guys? I wonder was the engine low on oil?

Frankie is my favorite! So funny. 😂

Looks like a nice meaty closed deck block. Time for rods, pistons, some oiling mods and a big ol' turbski

I thought I had bad luck. You guys have me beat!

So first I should wait for the stop sale and polaris fixes their issue like the 16’ turbo and makes more power? Second make sure to get an extended warranty but then can’t modify it? Third wait to see can ams response with more power?

Brand new sxs u guys r insane but I like it !!!!💪

Is this a lesson about breaking an engine in? 😂 Hate to say I’m glad you guys did this, cool to see it all come apart.

Doug is so awesome!

Upgraded rods/pistons/Slap new bearing in add turbo/motec and let dr. Tune a few get at it. 500hp ripper.

Dang that was a good one!!

That sucks but I can't wait to see how you build it back better and more power

It’ll be back bigger and stronger!

Yeah with the reliability oozing off that bad boy

@10:30 nick and Leo in the time lapse! Priceless! Lol

Go SxSBlog 🏁🏁🏁🏁❤️

I'd definitely try to investigate the oiling on that engine. Seems you were getting oil decent on the beginning of the oil passage but not at the end. I'll bet it had weak oil pressure on those rods from the jump. I'd look into a better high volume oil pump for sure.

Looking at that engine and my dad's old 61 MG midget gives me ideas...

UPLOAD ON SUNDAY!!! Just another reason I love you guys!

Tough break boys. She'll come back stronger!

I used to work at a Polaris dealer. I believe that is basically just a Slingshot engine by looking at it, which explains the automotive parts. Talk to Polaris to make sure, but you might be able to rebuild it and build it with Slingshot stuff, specifically a turbo kit?
