Brian, I saw a rec boat with a broken head pipe. But my friend bought it used so it probably could have been from being loose and ridden that way.
Didn't TS/XM sell some exhaust spacers that allowed the head pipe to clear the power valves. If the Head pipe still clears the side of the hull that would be my best suggestion.

Exactly, lack of maintainance will break anything.
....and this was a cut B-pipe?
Ok so now we are talking about two.
We use a spacer as well. But as far as I know, the pipe still needs to be modified.

how difficult would it be to machine some billet pv's that are adjustable?

What exactly do you mean?
We already machine some billet PV's that are adjustable

oh ok, didn't know that either...lol
so why aren't the x-metal one adjustable, just a protoype or something?

If you have seen pictures of our cylinder,
The red or blue peice in the black cap screws in and out and has a detent to maintain the setting. Screwing them in or out allows to increase or decrease spring pressure to change the rate and timing of the opening of the valve.
Make sense?

I know how to adjust them, I was just wondering why x-metal didn't make them adjustable. it seems like since they went to the trouble to make them, they would.
that's kinda like gold-plating a turd, and then using it for a hood ornament.

Ok, I wasn't sure.
I can't speak for them.
My guess is they built something that clears the pipe, without clearancing, that works with a specific design parameter.
In my opinion,
The problem with that is, different engine sizes, boat/rider weight, props, pumps, pipes and many other factors will all change the needs of the valve timing to make it "hit" right to suit every rider.

I wasn't trying to be, but it seems like a prototype situation to me. I understand the reason for wanting pipe clearance, but as intricate as those guys get with dialing in their setups, it's seems like defeating the purpose.

I am sure as well that they designed the length of the valve to set the spring tension where they thought worked best.

yes, since the their limited to one setting, adjust the engine setup and pipe tuning to match. good for one thing and one setup only. depending mostly on huge displacement, compression and ignition timing....lol
I guess you could change the springs like adjusting popoff pressure.

Brian,
The pipe wasn't a cut one. Just a B Pipe on a Blaster.
On the 750 SX mod pipe, the ex manifold is rotated some to make the pipe fit right. I wonder how that would fit with PV's.
As far as polishing turds, Mythbusters already did that.

Oh ok, I have just read on here a few people complaining about the clearanced and welded pipes.
So possibly only one so far then.

Would you guys shoot me a PM if you are interested in a 4mm stroker PV Kawi billet cylinder.
I have some news I would like to give you.

im pretty sure you can tune the PV's on an Xmetal motor..but you do it through spring changes

Probably so, I doubt the spings can be changed in small increments like the seadoo cap though, due mainly to the availability of springs.
hense the ability to tune for prop, pipe, atmosphere, ect.
