Polaris Ranger & Sportsman 500 Top End Rebuild Kit (1996–2013)

Description

Polaris 500 Top End Rebuild Kit for 1996–2013 Ranger and Sportsman Models

The Polaris 500 top end rebuild kit fits repairs that require a replacement piston and top-end gaskets. Inspect and measure the existing cylinder before choosing this package.

This Kit Includes

• Moly Forged Piston
• Top End Gasket Kit

Inspect the Cylinder Before Ordering

First, check the cylinder for scoring, wear, or damage. Next, measure the bore with the proper tools. Finally, confirm the required piston specifications before installation.

Confirm the Piston Package Contents

The supplied list confirms a moly forged piston and top-end gasket kit. It does not separately confirm piston rings, a wrist pin, clips, or a wrist-pin bearing. Therefore, verify those parts before ordering if the product image or packaging does not identify them.

Compare the Top End Refresh Kit

If the existing piston remains reusable and the repair only requires a piston ring and top-end gaskets, review the Polaris Ranger and Sportsman 500 top end refresh kit for 1996–2013 models.

Cylinder and Valve Option for Earlier Models

For 1996–2004 models that also require a cylinder and intake and exhaust valves, compare the Polaris Ranger and Sportsman 500 master top end rebuild kit. That kit has the narrower 1996–2004 fitment.

Assembly and Break-In

After assembly, follow the proper startup and break-in steps so the new piston parts can seat correctly. Review the REV6 engine break-in procedure guide before operating the engine.

REV6 backs this rebuild kit with a 1-year parts warranty. If you need help confirming piston specifications or fitment, contact the REV6 team.
