Description
Engine Rebuild Service for the 2008–2022 Polaris Sportsman 850
Low compression, oil use, internal noise, or engine damage can leave a Sportsman 850 parked. REV6 disassembles the engine, checks its internal condition, and performs the machining and parts replacement required by the supplied core.
The rebuild uses new moly-coated pistons, high-Babbitt bearings, gaskets, and seals. In addition, reusable OEM components are cleaned, measured, and serviced before assembly.

Core and Shipping Options
This engine rebuild requires an eligible Polaris Sportsman 850 core. You can send your engine first or select the refundable core option when placing the order.
REV6 also offers a shipping-label option for customers who need help sending the core. After purchase, the team provides the shipping instructions and tracking information that apply to the option selected.
The core charge is refunded after REV6 receives, inspects, and accepts the required core under the applicable core terms. Because core eligibility can depend on damage and missing components, contact REV6 if you have questions before ordering.

Confirm the model year and engine before ordering. Contact the REV6 team if the ATV has a replacement engine or if its build details are uncertain.
Two-Stage Quality Control
One REV6 technician assembles the engine and verifies the required measurements. Then, another technician performs the final inspection before shipment. This second review provides another check of the assembly and build specifications.
Estimated Rebuild Time
The estimated turnaround is 5–10 days after the required core arrives and passes inspection. However, added machine work, damaged components, parts availability, and current shop volume may affect that estimate.
If you need the engine by a certain date, contact REV6 for the current schedule before placing your order.
Installation and Break-In
Proper installation and break-in help protect the pistons, rings, bearings, and other rebuilt components. Therefore, review the REV6 engine break-in procedure before starting or operating the installed engine.
Warranty, Financing, and Support
This Sportsman 850 engine rebuild includes a 1-year REV6 warranty. An optional 2-year no-fault warranty is also available. Review the policy for its coverage, maintenance, break-in, and claim requirements.
