Description
Can-Am Maverick 1000 X3 Engine Rebuild Service (2017–2023 Models)
The Maverick X3 is built to perform, but once internal wear starts to build up, you’ll notice it—loss of power, inconsistent boost response, or reduced efficiency under load. A full rebuild corrects those issues and brings everything back into proper working condition.
At REV6, each engine is completely disassembled, inspected, and rebuilt with corrected tolerances and refreshed components.

Inspection Process
Each engine is assembled by one technician and reviewed by another before it ships. This additional inspection step helps ensure everything meets OEM spec before it goes back into your machine.
Warranty Coverage
Every engine includes a 1-year warranty. You can upgrade to a 2-year no-fault option for additional protection.
Review full details on our warranty policy.
Core Options
You can send in your engine core or choose the refundable $1500 core option. Once your core is inspected and approved, the deposit is returned.
If you need your rebuilt engine first, ask about exchange options and we’ll help you set it up.
Looking for Rebuild Parts Instead?
If you’re not replacing the full engine, you can find crankshafts, valves, gaskets, bearings, seals, tuning kits, and top or bottom end rebuild components in our
Can-Am Maverick X3 parts catalog.
If you’re unsure which direction to take, contact our team, and we’ll help you decide.
