Sea-Doo RXX Restoration EP.2 - Backyard Brian Strikes Again

Just as he’s about to call it a night, Brian drops the borescope into the cylinders. He freezes. "Oh... that’s not supposed to be there."

The camera screen shows a glint of metal—a broken ring? A stray washer? We won't know until next time.

He spends the afternoon knee-deep in fiberglass dust, sanding down the battle scars. By sunset, the engine is stripped, the hull is smooth, and Brian is covered in a fine layer of grey powder that makes him look like a Victorian ghost. The Cliffhanger

"Classic," Brian laughs, holding up the paperclip like a trophy. "This is why you don't buy jet skis from guys named 'Turbo Dave' on Marketplace." The "Backyard Brian" Special

Brian finds a "custom" wiring repair from the previous owner involving duct tape and what appears to be a twisted paperclip.

Between cleaning the fuel injectors with a rig he built out of a 9V battery and a can of carb cleaner, Brian takes a break to address the hull. The RXX is a rare racing breed, and this one has seen more dock-side collisions than a bumper car.

In Episode 1, we saw the "deal of a lifetime" turn into a fiberglass nightmare. Today, the backyard becomes a laboratory. Welcome to The "Precision" Teardown

Should we add a of the 951 DI engine's common fail points, or move straight to the fiberglass repair tips?
