Polaris RZR 900 Engine Rebuild Service (2015–2016 Models)
When your RZR 900 starts losing consistency—whether it’s power fading, rough idle, or increased engine noise—it’s usually the result of internal wear building up over time. Fixing individual parts rarely solves the bigger issue. A full rebuild resets everything.
At REV6, we take the engine apart completely, inspect each component, and correct wear across the entire system.
What Gets Rebuilt

Inspection Process
Each engine is assembled by one technician and then reviewed by another before it ships. That second inspection step helps ensure everything meets spec before it goes back into your machine.
This process keeps builds consistent and helps prevent issues down the road.
Warranty Coverage
Every engine includes a 1-year warranty. If you want added protection, a 2-year no-fault option is available.
Review full details on our warranty policy.
Core Options
You can send in your engine core or use the refundable $1200 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 Parts Instead?
If you’re not replacing the full engine, you can find 2015-2016 transmissions, crankshafts, cylinder heads, gasket kits, and top or bottom end rebuild parts in our
Polaris RZR 900 parts catalog.
If you’re unsure which route makes the most sense, contact our team and we’ll help you decide.
Before First Startup
Break-in plays a key role in how the engine performs long term. Taking the time to do it correctly helps everything seat properly.
