Got into the engine today and did the measurements. I used the fattest solder I had on hand (.061") and laid a piece across the piston. Torqued on the head and turned the motor over and felt 0 compression and sure enough it didn't even touch it. I then coiled 2 pieces to double layer it and laid...

Thanks for all the input guys. I’ll have to check when I get home this weekend. I just generally inspected the cylinders and I don’t remember the piston at TDC looking too out of the ordinary, maybe a mm or so below the head. I haven’t looked enough at stock sj ports to know what they would look...

Wow I didn’t even think of that. The previous owner said he was going for a “freestyle setup” so it may have been setup as a stroker. However, he didn’t use it as a selling point so maybe not. What would I need to measure to confirm it? Piston at TDC vs BDC? All I have is a set of china spec...

I don't have any pictures of the cylinder side of the dome but it doesn't look modified as far as I can tell. I guess I could measure the dome with some water to determine the volume. The cylinder walls look to be in decent shape, no scoring that I can feel with my finger nail. I might just go...

The guy I got it from lived way up in Young Harris, 5 min from the Tennessee border. Not sure if I can post his name due to site rules or whatever. He claimed to have had it for 5 years and bought it from a guy in TN. He said it was mostly the same as when he bought it. Though he told me he...

I recently pulled the crusty old model ADA head off of my project SJ. The cylinders were both at 150 PSI which I though was strange for an A/M head but I thought maybe they're stock sized domes or at least very conservatively milled. Well, this is what I found etched into the domes. YA2133 LTD...

Pure visual carbon, as well as the chin pad but it's turfed. The hood is a watercraft factory, which to my amazement cost $1400. Unfortunately, the ski was left outside uncovered for some time and it has some haze to it. Not a huge deal, I was bored and hit a small spot with a rag and buffing...

Hmmm water dripping out of a thin spot in the hull... no bueno. Obviously the foam had to be soaked so that was the next step. Got the tray cut out and removed all the foam. I found the best tools for the job were a nail claw, 1 inch chisel and a large crow bar. I pressure washed the last...

To start this off, I got my first stand up this past summer, a mint 88' 650SX I found a deal on. Having ridden dirtbikes and sit downs most my life, I was soon looking for a faster and more nimble ski. I stumbled upon this 1996 Superjet which looked pretty decent and seemed to have a lot of...

I put this hauler together a couple months back. I wanted a setup where I could roll the ski outside and load / unload it myself. The main tube is 1/4" wall and slides into a 3/16" wall tube that the bunks are welded to. This keeps it narrow enough to fit through my basement door. The bunks are...
