[QUOTE="duckman11, post: 442707, member: 22999"] well looks like I have started my jet jon project with a dud engine. I purchased 2 1995 Kawasaki 900zxi off craigslist for $400. One of the skis has a beautiful hull and one had what i was told, a running engine! So i figured $400 for...... 2 pump assemblies 2 ignition control boxes 2 stators 2 sets of gauges and controls 6 carburetors and a complete running engine wasn't a bad deal. But with compression of 80psi PTO cylinder, 80psi center cylinder and 60psi at the front cylinder....looks like time for a rebuild. Luckily enough the cylinders are not scored and the head domes are still in great shape Do y'all have any tips on doing a rebuild? Do i need to put any type of silicone between the case/cylinder gasket? What are some brands of top end rebuild kits that i need to stay away from? What kind or ring compressors are y'all using? When honing the cylinders.....what is the FINAL stone grit i should use? i know someone is going to say "check out greenhulk" but id like y'alls input. thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
