Has anybody ever done this or know of anybody that has? Was it successful and what were the circumstances? Thanks for any input.

Just had a response from the company. In their words a jetski should not be run at full revs for 6 to 8 seconds! Thats a bloody first for me!:bang: They told us they are gonna put all the parts in a box and we have got to come and collect it! Quality customer service. If it wasn't...

Do any of you guys have a rust spot in the middle of the roof/front seat region? Ours does and I have always wondered did it once have a cable hole or an orange flashing light screwed in there! BTW the rust is under the paint so I haven't investigated. Only 200k and runs fine so it hasn't...

Same problem here, been using Magnatec - Got some 'Lifter Additive' in at the moment. So what oil should go in at next oil change?

Thanks for your interests, and have thought of all of the above plus more nasty ones!:whistling Actually went down there today because they said they were going to start building the bottom end so that it can be ready for ourselves or used as a recon engine!!! So its ok to use bits from...

Ok, not to confuse anybody, it is my sons jetski. We are at present enquiring with consumer affairs. My son doesn't know too much about engines especially 2 strokes, but when I went down to have a word with the specialist, he was a little suprised that I knew quite abit, having worked in...

Lets suppose you have a 3 cylinder vehicle - I am not talking about a Holden. Its running fine, then out of the blue it revs up by itself. You take it to a specialist and they inspect it & change the throttle cables and charge you $320. The first time you use the vehicle it does the same...

Well, a couple of weeks later and all is fine. No further loss of coolant & engine oil not rising. Glad I didn't rip the heads off. :-)

After replacing the inlet gasket due to coolant in engine oil, the engine was run for 1 week with new oil & filter. On the last day one of the lifters started to make noise. Today I put new Magnatech in plus another new filter, and the noise is still there - louder & wont go away! One thing...

Job now done, Mr Muscle worked a treat. Couple of tips. Keep your valley end gasket pieces incase the ones you get in the kit are different. The ones in the kit I had wouldn't fit at all! Different profile! Although you dont have to touch the throttle cable adjustment, be careful...

Thanks for all that info. Only problem I already have it off so missed out on your initial tips.:-) Think I will have to get the vacuum cleaner on it to suck out any bits that have fell in. I will have to try the oven cleaner because everything else I have tried, including carby cleaner...

I'm in the slow process of replacing the inlet manifold gaskets on my VT 3.8. Are there any recommendations, such as putting sealant on the gaskets etc? Noticed the end pieces had some black silicon on them - Is that a factory thing? I bought the car ar 80k and it is now at 200k+. Not...

Whats up with magnatech? Thats all I've been using!

Mine was the same prior to me finding out that coolant was getting into the engine oil. Have you been topping up your coolant?

Been delayed this week due to commitments and back & to the shop for correct size spanners etc. Why do they mix metric with a/f? Anyway, the rocker covers were full of a yoghurt mess, non on the actual rockers though? At the moment I only have the intake off. I noticed the gasket wasn't...

I am trying not to rush this as I cannot afford to blow a grand plus on fixing something that doesn't need fixing. I just drained the oil - cracked the plug first and no coolant whatsoever came out first. Do modern coolants seperate from oil when you let them stand for 24 hours? Tell you...

Just recently changed the oil but it has got a milky look, plus when you take the oil filler cap off there is plenty milky crap in there. With a leaking valley gasket, how can the coolant get into the oil there?

I've been noticing for about 6 months that the coolant disappears and needs topping up. Just recently 1 litre per week. After the latest top up I noticed the engine oil level is high and has coolant in it. Is the head gasket the only place it can get in? A few guys here say they are...
