Some pics of the initial work on my UTV engine swap. Picked up this American sportworks 650 UTV with a blown engine for a steal of a deal, after teardown inspection it seems the air cleaner screws came loose and wreaked havoc on the engine, not just one cylinder, but both cylinders. Needless to say this engine is screwed!
Still trying to find some good heads, and or the time to bust out the spool gun and weld up the damage. So for now I have a line on a good Kohler command engine that I will rebuild as I try to scrounge for EH65 parts. This engine is a Robin (Subaru) EH63, with the 1 barrel carb. My goal is to rebuild this engine, the case, crank, and other parts are fine, just shredded the pistons and heads. Note to other EH65 owners, make sure those air cleaner screws are tight!
Stay tuned for more pics as I get things together. Should be a fun project. Project should involve some suspension updates as well since the stock shocks and springs are like a covered wagon!
