Engine seized up while flushing on dry land, so no real load on it. Took the head cover off and it looks like a piston ring shattered cuz there is junk fused to the top of one piston and the head cover for that cylinder. I'm just starting to tinker with these jetskis and I see SBT has a top end exchange solution. My question for the experienced is when a piston seizes like this is there normally any lower end damage (crank..etc) ? I know I need to break it down to check but this will be the first time I've done it, so I'm looking for any suggestive feedback. Thanks!

Re: 2001 STX D.I. engine seized
Will do....I'm thinking it may be a chore to get the top end off since the piston is seized up. Any tricks of the trade and/or things to be careful of?Comment
