As some of you may remember, I bought a 97 Sea Doo at an auction a couple weeks ago. Bought it because I have a good 787 engine looking for a home. The head was off the engine, but the compartment is so tight, and it was against a wall, I couldn't really see what it looked like, and at the time, didn't really care. Well, today I pulled the engine out and tore it down. Rather suprised by what I found. Looks like a very low time engine, but the top ring on the PTO side was missing. Has damage on the piston, large gouge, and the head is a little hammered out. Suprisingly, the cylinder has no damage. Cylinders are bored 1mm oversize. I was thinking I'll put a whole top end kit, with new pistons and rings, or just throw in one new piston, since it's a low time engine. What do you guys think?
What about that head, is it junk, or can I clean off the sharp points and reuse?
Are the WSM top end kit any good?
