787 trouble

[Speedster DL]

Hello all... I am looking for advice.. i have a 1999 speedster with twin 787's. 2 stroke... The one engine i am having trouble with is it hydro locked with oil... I took the spark plugs out and as fast as i was turning the engine, it was filling up with oil... I detatched the oil line and it started right up. So, what do i do.. they say its the crank seal... How much does it cost to have a mechanic change seal vs. new engine.... Also and more importantly, can i eliminate the oil injector with block off plate if it is leaking from crank and use mix for both engines... How much lubrication does rotax need to operate.. does it need constant pressure from oil?. Can i put a shut off valve on oil line and turn it off?... Is there a way to save the engine... Please advise a novice jet boater... Thanks

Oh yea... And is SBT the only game in town for rebuilt engines?

It's typically the inner crank seals and the only fix is th replace the crankshaft.
Eliminating the oil injection will not help because the rotary gear bath has to be supplied with oil constantly, premix or not.

SBT is the fastest turnaround but Fullbore Online is probably a better engine but he can get swamped and slow to ship when he's busy.
