I got it out! Yay! Does it need the rubber covering? This one is falling apart.

I have a 2000 XP and I need to replace the water box straps as they are broken. It is almost out but REALLY does not want to come all of the way out. Other than dynamite, any suggestions?

For some reason Cometic sent these gaskets like it was an organ donation, I got them this morning! Obviously, they are not correct. I cut the opening to match the manifold and installed them. No more leaking. Yay!

Will do. I should know next week.

I ordered gaskets from Cometic and will see what happens.

THANK YOU! I have used Cometic gaskets before and they worked well.

Thank you for the response. It does not have a gasket or seal. I was thinking about using sealer, but I hate to do that since it should not need any. The problem is I cannot install this engine in its present condition.

I rechecked the surfaces and torqued to 90 inch/lbs. Still leak. Any ideas?

951 Carb engine leaks at the intake manifolds when doing a leak down test. Surfaces are clean, torque is correct. Is it ok to use sealer? I would rather not, but I have tried two sets of manifolds with the same result.

Wow, I like to ride, but not that much! It looks like an afternoon ride in Alaska in May!

I have two 951 carb engines I am assembling, and both are about .090 squish with a head gasket installed and no base gasket. I think the spec is .067 to .091. One has a WSM crank, the other is SeaDoo. Pistons in both engines are WSM. Based on what I know, I need to deck them about .030. This...

I understand forged pistons are much more likely to cold seize, especially in cold water.

Bye GTX, hello RX!

I took a Di apart that had over 200 hours, many were at full throttle. The pistons were in very good condition. It the engine is maintained; they will go a long way. Try removing the RAVE valves and looking at the piston skirts. That should tell you a lot.

I usually ride about once per week. I bring them inside in the off season where it is heated and charge them periodically.

I have been using Chrome Batteries for about 15 years. They cost around $55 including fast shipping. They last 4-5 years.

That was my conclusion! The issue is this a "NEW" balance shaft out of the box! I sent it back.

What happened to this balance shaft? I have never seen one machined like this. Any thoughts?

There are a number of good pistons available. WSM platinum are OK. Wossner are a work of art. Pro-X are good. I would stay away from SBT. Just my four cents (inflation) Are you going to bore the cylinders? If so, how much?

Wow!
