    951 GTX DI Air Compressor Rebuild - Revisting

    Hey all 951 DI lovers! I try not to start duplicate threads, but the 951 DI air compressor thread has gone a little stale, and I haven't been able to find what I am looking for on the air compressor - talk about the compressor head itself. I'm rebuilding my 2002 GTX DI 951 engine and one of...

    Impeller swap

    When you put the new wear ring in, don't forget to very carefully drill where the set screws go, else the screws will bulge the wear ring and the prop won't turn. Be very careful not to drill all the way through.

    2001 GTX DI Engine Removal?

    Oh @Grast5150 , I've been learning a lot, and thanks the for the tips. Just a few of the finds - somehow the PO cracked the oil tank (I didn't know and lost about 1/2 gal of liquid gold into the hull), and oil/air separator in the oil filler neck ended up in the bottom of the tank. How does one...

    Cheapest 2001 GTX 951 Performance Upgrades

    Is 60 mph not fast enough? I did however install a Solas Concord 15/20 impeller ($185), and a Solas top loading intake grate ($90) this past summer - it really made a huge improvement out of the hole. I also put a new wear ring in the pump while I was there (don't forget to lightly drill...

    951 Piston Question

    Also, for what it's worth - if the sleeves are scored, just get it bored and new oversized pistons - it would be a huge disservice to get new sleeves installed (which rumor has still need to be bored true and deck milled) and install old worn pistons. The only real reason to install new sleeves...

    951 Piston Question

    I'm pretty sure that's the part number. at the exhaust side of the piston there should be a number that reads like 87.88 (which is OE piston size, the bore being a whole number, or 88.0mm in this case) What does your bore look like? Any scuffs, pitting, rust? Anything that might make the...

    Need help with pistons

    I will be having my DI 951 cylinders bored 1.00 mm over this winter, caught your comment about shaving the guillotines; I understand the how, so to speak, but who? Me with a die grinder, or the shop when they bore the cylinders? Thanks in advance!

    GTX DI Piston Marking

    (oil pump) Riddle me this - how in god's name would one get back to the oil pump to even think about checking where it is set once the engine and exhaust are back in their rightful places? Thanks for the write up folks - I got me a 951 to rebuild over the winter, and all the tips and tricks...

    GTX DI 951 - New Pistons - Coated or Not?

    I will get the machine work done locally, albeit expensive - $130/hole. There is an ebay'er that has WSM crank, gaskets & choice of pistons for $800. Seems about as reasonable as I have seen. I've only popped the head, seems I lost a ring at the exhaust port, mag cylinder. Figured that since...

    GTX DI 951 - New Pistons - Coated or Not?

    OK, I've got the engine out of my 2002 GTX DI 951 and it's time to buy some parts... For the pistons - do I want coated (WSM platinum) or uncoated? I will need to have the cylinders punched 1.00mm over. @etemplet or @pantaloonz - you two seem to be DI guru's - thoughts? Thanks!

    2001 GTX DI Engine Removal?

    I headed all your warnings and took great care when removing the hoses - no barbs were harmed. There was enough slack in all the small lines, so I just cut them off at the barb vs trying to get the crimp off while still in the boat. Brilliant tip about low heat before reinstalling - the...

    2001 GTX DI Engine Removal?

    ...lift straight out they said... it was more like lift a little, roll a little, lift a little more. I ended up taking off the rear motor mount as well. But it's out :) When I go to put it back in, where do we source the small non-reversible stainless clamps? I can't thank you all enough...

    2001 GTX DI Engine Removal?

    (quite possibly the cleanest pwc i've ever worked on) It's not out yet, but I have to admit, the pipe is kicking my arse. I know Bombardier is Canadian, but I swear they must employ people with small hands, not saying child labor, but just sayin' šŸ¤” šŸ˜… @pantaloonz - thanks for the link to the...

    2001 GTX DI Engine Removal?

    Thanks @etemplet & @pantaloonz - these are the tips I'm looking for. Since I don't know what happened to it, I fully agree that it gets a new bottom end as well. Are there any favorite brands of pistons? I was a big Wiesco fan in my stand-ups. Bore sizes - +0.5mm, +1.0mm? Favorite...

    2001 GTX DI Engine Removal?

    Howdy! Recovering stand-up pilot, new Sea-Doo owner & new to the forum. At first glance perusing the forums, I got the wrong ones - (2) 2001 GTX DI's, one running, one not, with newer trailer. But the price was right (so I think today). I'm sure there are plenty of threads about pulling the...
