what motor is this in my 850-t?
« on: July 20, 2017, 12:05:47 PM »
I was told it was a 850 motor with a big bore kit? not sure. according to my freind at the machine shop the bore is 3.462 or 84 mm and the bottom bore is close to 88 mm.  or  3.4646 reason im asking is i need a cyl due to rust from getting water inside and ruining the cyl. engine is stamped vc 092410 looks factory. thanks

At 91,000 miles it'll need the sludge trap cleaning out and quite likely a crank grind. Barrels and pistons, tappets, maybe a cam, cam retainer plate, valves, seals and gaskets. My guess is there won't be much of the original engine left by the time you've fixed it.

Troy, if it's got Nicasil bores they'll probably be fine. It's the crap in the sludge trap and more importantly the crap it hasn't caught that will of caused the bearing damage.
