Thanks bro. Well I'm going to start to tear into it tonite. Given [MENTION=51824]Matt Braley[/MENTION] 's assessment, is there anything I should spray on the head bolts first before trying to take them out, or is it pointless because the head of the bolt is supposed to sit flush on the head by design? Or should I apply some heat first?

Once you get a turn out of it you can spray a little in the crack and let it sit. I don't think heat is gonna help much at this stage. Good luck, I hope I'm wrong. When you get those head and exhaust manifold bolts out your golden.

Well the good news is, if the motor really was recently rebuilt when I got it, that's only 4 years worth of accumulation.. Yea I know that's like an eternity when dealing with salt water, but, better than 19 years worth of crustification..

Ok, well, I come bearing gifts... I'll give you a hint.. It's usually brown but in the case of a seadoo, it's not.. It gets stinkier and nastier the longer you wait to change it.. And NO [MENTION=47626]Seadoobuddy[/MENTION] , it's NOT A DIAPER!

So I went to go pull the head off tonight and walahh... Hull full of my beautiful purple oil[emoji35] .. Checked feed and return lines that I kept with the tank for the rotary valve.. So.. Does this point to blown crank seals? Didn't leak from when the motor blew Sunday at around 1pm till after I closed it up at around 4pm on Sunday.. Thoughts?
Only asking because just as Braley suspected, those head bolts are NOT turning..

Yea the beaches/water are nicer/clearer over here, although that place is called "Clearwater"... We cover both sarasota and manatee counties at my fire department, we're on the border. But then YOULL be the one with salty cases ... The cost of living in paradise my friend

And, at this point I'm just curious to get into this top end, so BESIDES shipping the whole thing out, or before I do that, what would one of you guys do to get this ONE head bolt out? Would an easy out work? Should I drill it out? I haven't taken all the other bolts out yet, I just got them loose.. Do these bolts thread in down lower so this head will just pop off since the bolt head is broken off, or is it threaded into the head?
