Hello,
I know this seems to be redundant but i am just a little confused.
I have a 2005 RXT that needed a new cylinder head. So I got a remanufactured one from SBT. They sent me back a head that is from a 2008 (even after stating that i have a 2005). So now I have a 2005 block (still with the restrictor valve in it), 2008 cylinder head (single oil port), 2005 rockers and a 2005 rocker arm (w/ 3 oil ports).
All put back together and in the Ski.... I’ve got about 4 hours on the rebuild and it is consuming oil and smoking like a 2 stroke out of the water on the hose. The cylinder compression are all between 172-178psi. I rebuilt the supercharger at the same time, but I currently pulled it off and split the case to install a new Viton oil seal to be sure that it is not the oil leaker.
SBT says, that as long as I have the older rocker shaft that doesn’t restrict the flow (since the restricter valve in the block is doing that) installed that i sold be good to go?
What are your thoughts!? Does anyone out there happen to be running a newer cylinder head (06+) with older rocker shaft (04-05) on an older block (04-05) with the restricter valve in the block? Does anyone know if there is any literature out there that Sea Doo or some else says not to do this?

The first 2 images are mine and the 4th is one that I found that compares both generations of cylinder heads.
Thx in advance for your help
