I started work on fixing my ski today. It's a '99 GTX RFI. Last time I rode her was Sept and the ski over heated and now the engine's toast. There's only ~25psi in one of the cylinders. So I pulled the motor today to check things out. One of the cylinders looks pretty burned and there was metal shards in both cylindrs and throughout the crank case. There was also some sand/sea shell fragments in the exhaust mainfold and in one of the cylinders (not sure where that came from because I never have run the ski in less than 3 ft of water, but that's a moot point now). The crank casing also had a decent amount of water in it. So my question is, would a cylinder exchange be enough to fix my problem and be back up and runnning, or is it more likely that I need an entire new engine? I've attached some pics of what the engine looked like. Thanks a lot for any input and ideas.:beer
