I am for sure going to use the lacquer thinner on the rub rails on my 97spx resto, thanks Dan!
On my HX build I painted the purple rub rail with Krylon fusion paint, so I prepped the rails with lacquer thinner to rid them of any grease and contaminants. It was then that I found that it made the rails perfect again. For some reason I think the purple rails actually come back super shiny and not quite a flat as the black, although the black isn't really too flat. For those doing it "on the ski" the black will transfer to the deck, but it will come right off the deck with a rag and some lacquer.
Thanks Machin0, I'll let you know. If you want PM me what your looking for and I'll see what I have. Heading to the machine shop now.
also have mint jugs stock bore elko pistons were in them I cant find any marks in the sleeves I have plans for them I have a hot rods crank im fixing to build another motor so would need to trade them for an equal set not sure if they will work for an x motor but here is some pics anyway
its to cold out so dug around in the shop some more here is some more 95 goodies 
the impeller from my 95 has the #s changed not sure why and the exhaust manifold cant tell the # I buffed the paint with a brass brush and no # under it maybe normal carbs a pretty nice never touched them also oil cable functional not 100% perfect I have all the flame arrestor stuff to but mixed in with 96 stuff so if it don't have a # wouldn't no th diff also water reg don't need to be original for me

Yeah man! We have a decent place about 45 minutes away and a bunch more about an hour and a half to two hours away. That's why I love where we live, down to the shore in 2 hours, snowboarding in an hour, what more can you ask for.

I will be sending you one of each of these decals and the nose badge. I forgot sorry, it will go out tomorrow. Ahh....The peanut butter trick, I have been using that trick for a long time. I use a wax that smells like banana laffy taffy, so my 96 smells like a peanutbutter banana sandwich. I think ive used that analogy before lol.
I think your resto could use the badge for sure, but I cant remember if your rear decals are white or yellow. Either way I am sure one of your restos could use them.

Mmmmm...... Banana peanut butter sandwich lol....I don't suppose there is anyway I can get one of those decals that shows which direction to flip the ski? Those would be awesome to finish off my 96...I will be sending you one of each of these decals and the nose badge. I forgot sorry, it will go out tomorrow.

Well Gents here's the latest installation. As the only guy on earth to care if my date castings are correct, I just so happened to find an EXACT MATCH. I bought this head the day after I posted the original one was shot. I also have a batch of some new goodies that have been trickling in on the front door step.
Thanks for the goodies JSG!
12/94 casting date
1/95 casting date
Brand new OEM water cooling lines and Bilge lines

How much hose is in that package? Enough to do all of the water and bilge scuppers? Is it one long hose?
30 foot. I have enough for a few restos! It's all one length.

Thought I was gonna be in some serious trouble today. My father in law spent about 12 hours on this set, needless to say he was happy to see them leave the shop this afternoon. He said the bolt circle for the head was not correct about 4 out the 6 holes were correctly spaced but two were off on both, and not the same two either. So the stainless was a bear to drill, then he snapped a carbide endmill in one of the holes but managed to get it out---some how and I wasn't asking either. So he got them prepped up and I put in some helicoils in them, 5 out of 6 on one jug, and 4 out of 6 on the other. Now we're rock soild! Got the broke exhaust bolts out too. Saved two more from the scrap pile. I'll blast these clean later at build time.
Before:
Got my high tech depth gauge to set the helicoil at the same height as the original threads. There is JUST enough room to get a helicoil in there. The helicoil tap just lightly nicks the outside of the cylinder wall, BRP planned that one ahead of time I think.
Broken Carbide endmill

You need to clarify for me. So the holes in the head were not lined up correctly with the bolt holes in the cylinders?? Is this because the heads and cylinders did not come as a set? I would think that they were all made within the same spec.
I am probably misreading it.

Basically they were not true from the factory. We assume who ever was running the machine that day wasn't on their A game. We had the correct numbers from a clean cylinder I had in there a while back, the numbers he came up with BEFORE he even turned the machine on were off, the two heads I have measured the same. He always checks the part he's about to machine--in case of irregularities which proved dividends on this go round. You NEVER assume anything. I forget the exact number it was off but there obviously is enough "wiggle" room in the head to line it up. There are a bunch of online bolt circle calculators but some how he has this info stuffed in his head from years of machining.
