Polaris 500 Bottom End Rebuild Kit for 1996–2013 Ranger and Sportsman Models
The Polaris 500 bottom end rebuild kit supplies bearing, timing, gasket, and water-pump sealing parts while reusing the existing crankshaft. Inspect the crankshaft before choosing this package.
This Kit Includes
- Timing Chain
- Crankshaft Ball Bearing
- Water Pump Seal Kit
- Complete Gasket Kit
Crankshaft Is Not Included
This listing includes one crankshaft ball bearing, but it does not list a crankshaft. Therefore, inspect the existing crankshaft for wear or damage before ordering.
If the crankshaft also needs replacement, review the Polaris Ranger and Sportsman 500 crankshaft for 1996–2013 models. Confirm its fitment and supplied parts separately.
Check the Related Bottom-End Parts
First, inspect the engine cases and crankshaft surfaces. Next, check the remaining bearings, timing guides, and tensioner. Also, inspect the water-pump parts before beginning assembly.
Compare the Master Refresh Option
If the engine also needs a piston ring and intake and exhaust valves, compare the Polaris Ranger and Sportsman 500 master engine refresh kit for 1996–2013 models. That kit includes the timing chain, complete gasket kit, and water pump seal kit along with the added top-end parts.
Assembly and Break-In
After the rebuild, follow the correct startup and break-in steps. Review the REV6 engine break-in procedure guide before operating the engine.
REV6 backs this kit with a 1-year parts warranty. If you need help confirming fitment or choosing the right rebuild parts, contact the REV6 team.
