What other Rotax engines are compatible with 582

[Turbo_Boss]

Hey Guys,

 

Do anybody knows what other Ski-Doo/Sea-Doo Rotax engines & parts are compatible with the Rotax 582.

 

The thing is that a 582 is exactly the same engine to a 5xx or 6xx that you find in a Ski-Doo or Sea-Doo

 

The only diference is that the 582 use 2 spark plug for cylinder and it use 2 magnetos BUT I "think" thats are the only diferences.

 

For example a Crankshaft for a Sea-Doo 587 including all new main and wrist-pin bearings, inner seals and rods. Trued & welded to better than OEM specifications is available for U$195.00 and the same part for a 582 is around U$1,000.oo

 

Do any body has a cross reference of what parts we can use?

 

THX,

 

Isaac

Negative, they tried that years ago in the States and Rotax got VERY upset. The end that the gearbox has to be mounted to is not set up for a gearbox. Blokes were drilling and tapping, and fitting gearboxes and they wern't holding on. There may be other differences also.
