Description
2016–2020 Polaris Sportsman 500 Engine Rebuild by REV6
Internal wear in your Polaris Sportsman 500 can affect the crankshaft, cylinders, pistons, and valve train. When several components need attention, rebuilding the engine allows REV6 to inspect the assembly and replace the parts identified in our rebuild process.
This rebuild includes a new crankshaft, new cylinders, forged moly-coated pistons, and several additional engine components. REV6 also cleans and prepares the engine cases before final assembly.

New Crankshaft and Cylinder Components
Unlike rebuilds that rely primarily on refurbishing existing components, this Sportsman 500 listing specifically includes a new crankshaft and new cylinders.
REV6 also installs forged moly-coated pistons and completes the listed cylinder replating work. These components are part of the engine rebuild rather than optional additions.
Water Pump, Counterbalance and Lifter Replacement
The rebuild also includes a new water pump, counterbalance, and lifter assembly. REV6 addresses these components during the engine rebuild instead of limiting the work to the crankshaft and cylinders.
New valve seal and seat components are included in the listed rebuild work.
REV6 Master Technician Double Inspection
After your Sportsman 500 engine core arrives, REV6 disassembles and cleans the engine before rebuilding begins.
A master technician completes the rebuild. Then, a second master technician inspects the assembled engine before final approval.
This two-technician inspection process provides an additional quality control check before the engine is returned to the customer.
