Best stock parts for 951

[Mraw]

Hi, I am getting my 951 rebuilt. It gets ridden very hard. It will remain completely stock. A lot of shops near me can rebuild it for a nice price with WSM pistons and a rebuilt WSM crank. Is WSM quality? Should I expect around the same life out of it as OEM?

WSM is ok. The best pistons for it would be the OEM DI pistons. For the best crank sadly seadoo doesn't sell them anymore. When I get my 951 crank done I will be sending it to Competitive Crankshafts. Don't forget the balancer either.

What are your thoughts on pro x pistons?

Pro-X would be my second choice over OEM.

What are your thoughts on Wossner pistons? I have heard of them, but know nothing about them. the general consensus is good.

They are forged pistons so I stayed away from them

I did not know that, thank you!

I've been hammering a 951 all wsm motor in an xp. I have to say I'm impressed and I don't know what will fail first, it has just been too consistent.
Natchi bearings on the counterballancer.

The only oem thing I go for is the base gasket. Because I choose based on chamber volume and squish.

Any thoughts on which is better a WSM balance shaft or Hot Rods?

Thanks! My OEM is not rebuildable that is why I am looking for a new one.

I would pick WSM over HotRods.

Oem seadoo made in Austria or Taiwan depending on what it is.

Aftermarket WSM made in Taiwan!!!
All the wsm cranks are made in Taiwan and i have yet to see a bad one.
Hotrods, I have no idea where their parts are made or assembled.

Testing two hotrods at the moment.

THANK YOU! "Testing two hotrods at the moment." would you let me know how they turn out?

The 951 so far is solid.
