I'm so pissed at terra alps it's not even funny .
First of all, his head cover and domes were and are my nightmare. They don't seal properly and compression ratio he has stamped and what I wanted isn't 12:1, it's 12.7:1. The press in fitting for bypass wasn't even pressed in and no loctite sealant. Wtf??
Last year breaking sled in at jaws on Dyno , the head starts leaking while on Dyno. I had to take it all apart and fix it costing me 2 hours of Dyno time . Got a few det clicks on Dyno too. It's the 12.7:1 domes that were supposed to be 12:1. Using 91 octane I got det clicks on Dyno .
Then I take it out in the trails to ride and it does nothing but det . It's cuz of the 12.7:1 domes using 91 pump gas that were supposed to be 12:1 domes .
I asked terra alps to send me a new head cover and domes . I never received a head cover until a month later and still no domes. I'm pissed .
Toke the head assembly to iantomassi and he fixed it. On my dime of course . That's a 3 hour drive for me one way and the cost to fix terra alps stuff that's totally wrong. So two trips .
Plus I had to buy more gaskets now and coolant and install it all over again . All my dime and my time.
Now, our Quebec trip .We drove 9 hours to get to our spot . First half an hour I'm there it decides to over heat pissing coolant from over flow and over heating. It's cuz of combustion gasses getting in coolant because the terra alps head cover doesn't seal the domes properly when torqued to spec. I over heated it and got coolant in my motor.
I'm so pissed it's not even funny. So we're there for 7 days and 6 nights and My sled is down the first day. I went and bought new gaskets at a Polaris dealer , more coolant and installed . Everything torqued to spec and all new gaskets and coolant. Still pushes combustion gasses in coolant. Now I'm really mad .
Got a stock head shipped up but didn't arrive in time on our last day.
Me buddy haulin had an extra sled to ride and he let me use that the hole trip. Thanks to haulin for that as it would have been a long stay without riding.
Brought it home. New gaskets again, more coolant and installed my stock head. It runs fine
The terra alps head doesn't seal and puts combustion gasses in coolant which is not good.
Now I gotta get this fixed on my dime again. So more travel time, more cost to fix and more of my own labor again.
This guy is a total asshole and I can prove it by showing texts he sends me.
I'm so pissed at this guy it's unbelievable.
Totally unprofessional, he's a dickhead and his stuff doesn't work . This has cost me a lot of time and money. Now I gotta take my motor apart and rebuild cuz of coolant getting in. This is fawkin bullshit.
Beware of terra alps nightmares.
