Normally these engines fail for 2 reasons. Exaust, valves break and pistons hit them and normally ruin the head and piston or the SC washers break and contaminate the oil and oil pumps get chewed up and then spin a c
Rod bearing. Sea doo, changed the exaust, valves in mid 06 to better valves. If you get a pretty 06 motor it would be a good idea to change the exaust valves. Food for thought.
