Hi All, I have a 2004 Ranger which had an oil leak at the corner of the head gasket. I have replaced the Gasket twice along with a resurface the second time. I have performed all the re torqueing,  used the updated OEM Gaskets direct from Polaris etc...It still leaks.

Now I also have a 2017 Ranger XP 1000.  It leaks too - at pretty much the same location as the 2004. Only 150 miles driven. Does anyone have any suggestions that I need to consider before repairing it ? I'd like to get this done in one attempt. With only 150 miles on it - I'm kind of bummed on Polaris at the moment. I'd appreciate any suggestions here.

Wow that is quite a leak!

Whenever i have trouble diagnosing an oil leak, i use the UV dye... because oil leaks don't always come from where you think they are.

I repaired a briggs engine with it, another "pro" shop replaced the crankcase gasket, oil seals etc, to stop a leak that gathered dirt all under the engine, i removed the engine, cleaned it up really good.  put it on a test stand,  put some dye in the oil, and within a few minutes, an $2.00 O-Ring that seals the oil pump cover began weeping oil... very rare for one of those to leak.

      Joyner 1100 oil pressure problem.
      By rdc
      I have a 2007 Joyner 1100 sand viper and  before it even get's to where the thermostat opens up the oil pressure get's so low I have to shut it down. What could fix this ? I thought about adding an oil cooler with fan, thicker oil, or removing the thermostat. Any advice?

      2004 Joyner Dirt Devil Missing “Prick gear”
      By nrggaragebuilds
      2004 250DL DIRT DEVIL. Hey y’all, I already know this is a long shot. But I am looking for a the “prick gear” assembly that makes reverse work for my external reverse gearbox. OEM PN D250.08.103 and its assembly. I bought the kart as a basket case, but I saw that the reverse box was present so I was optimistic.  Upon starting working on the buggy I realized there was a block off plate in plate of there the normal gear would be. If my understanding is correct that means the transmission no longer has reverse gear. I figured it’s just a standard bevel gear and I could probably find a gear to make work, but I don’t want to spend the time making all the other housing parts to shim the gear perfectly. Has anyone spare parts, or figured out an aftermarket solution from McMaster? I already know it’ll be a challenge to get this box to be happy again, but figured I would ask

      Bennche 500, replaced stator no fire
      By Hoppy one
      I replaced the stator on our Bennche 500 because it was not charging. It ran as long as you kept the battery charged. I replaced the stator now it’s not firing. The only problem I found was a wire in the new stator for the crank position sensor was in the wrong place in the plug. I switched it around but still no fire. Putting a meter on those wires and cranking the motor showed no voltage from the crank position sensor. Something I did or a bad “new “ part? Thanks for any ideas.
