light collision causes engine failure

[rancidjo]

This is a FYI, not a rant:

My 06 Nytro was side swiped from the rear, on the trail a week or so ago. Light damage including running board and some side plastic damage. What I did not notice was the kinked oil hose coming from the bottom of the oil tank. Seems the collision moved the oil tank forward and kinked the oil hose, starving the engine of oil. And a few miles later with no warning a rod came through the case. This is just to let you know if you ever have an incident on the right side of your sled please check this line to prevent the same from happening to you.

That sucks

It sure does... just hoping my experience can save someone else's powerplant.

It very well may someday. Thanks.
