Can-Am Defender HD8 Engine Refresh Kit

The Can-Am Defender HD8 Engine Refresh Kit gives your 2016–2021 Defender 800 a targeted overhaul without the cost of a full rebuild. It focuses on the most common wear items—rings, bearings, seals, and chains—so you can restore compression, improve sealing, and tighten up timing accuracy. As a result, your engine runs stronger, cleaner, and more reliably.

This Kit Includes:

• Oil Seal Kit
• (2) Timing Chain
• Complete Gasket Kit
• (2) Piston Ring Kit
• Water Pump Seal
• Bearings

This Can-Am Defender HD8 Engine Refresh Kit tackles blow-by, oil consumption, and leak issues while stabilizing the bottom end. The piston ring kits help restore cylinder sealing and compression. Additionally, the timing chains keep crank-to-cam timing precise under load. Meanwhile, fresh bearings reduce friction and noise for smoother rotation.

Furthermore, the oil seal kit and complete gasket kit help prevent future leaks after reassembly, while the water pump seal protects cooling system integrity. Choose this refresh when your cylinders and valves are still within spec, yet the engine shows wear in rings, chains, or seals. It’s a practical step up from minor fixes and a smart alternative to a full teardown.

All components meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit and durability. Therefore, professional shops and experienced DIY builders can install this kit with confidence. For a more comprehensive service, you can pair this Engine Refresh with a top-end rebuild kit to renew additional components at the same time.
