94 Sea Doo XP Crankshaft/Engine Question

[Bill O'Neal2]

Put all of the parts into a box and trade them in to SBT for a remanufactored motor, $699.95, you cannot do it cheaper than that knowing the parts that you need. Plus you get a warranty and all new parts, not some hacked together POS motor.

That sounds like the best way to go at this time - I could then sell my new crank on ebay, etc... So SBT will accept the motor not assembled as a trade in... All the parts are there... and my shot crankshaft wont lower the trade?

[Technical Support]

We don't care if the crank is shot, nor if it's assembled.

[Surovich]

You guys ROCK! This is most likely my way to go. I know the shipping will be around $100 (To Buffalo NY) - Does that include shipping back to you?

[Technical Support]

Yes, our shipping prices are round-trip.

i was going to suggest you get a SBT motor , you cant go wrong that way , just make sure all bolts are there , its a good idea to put it togeater { loose } so they get all bolts and you dont get charged , they do not need the old pistons /gaskets/seals/ ect just the block crank cyls head and all the bolts that hold that stuff togeater :) make sure you keep your old PTO :)

[Surovich]

Yeah, Its all there - Ill have my friend assemble it quickly. I hate to ask - Whats the PTO?

[1fastski.com]

the PTO is the big round thing on the back of your crank where your driveshaft goes :)

[Surovich]

Ah yesm I know the part - Me "working" crank doesnt have that and I was going to pull that ... Nice to know they dont need that

[Surovich]

Ok, talked to the Wife and I talked her into the SBT Engine. From my crankshaft story, I would assume I should be buying the 657x engine? Sound right?

[Technical Support]

Correct.

[1fastski.com]

you have to buy what you have , if your intake ports are round you have the 657 if there oval you have the 657X

[Technical Support]

99% of the 94 XP's used the X motor.

[Bill O'Neal2]

All 1994 XP and 1994 GTX's used the 657X motor.

[Bill O'Neal2]

You can easily identify a 657 crankshaft by the holes in the counterbalancer wheels on the crankshaft, The 657X cranks do not have any holes in the counterbalancers.
