I dont think so.  I have ran the boat 5 times before this with the water valve in the same position and no problems.  I honestly dont know chit about the way the jet pumps the water into the motor. 

so the oil pump is toasted then?  which would explain why the oil pressure gauge read 0.  so the motor got hot and blew the gasket then?

Okay so im a dumbass...   no water pump.  but i do have a blown head gasket.  there was a octagon shaped piece of metal underneath the intake manifold that was about a 1 1/2 long.  the pistons dont look bad and neither do the heads.  I pulled the gaskets and they look perfect.  im really confused here as to what exactly is going on.  there is no cracks or hot spots in the gasket where it may have give way.  here are a few pics so far.  going to get a new gasket set and headbolts.  judging by the pics do you guys think i should send the heads in and have a valve job done on them?? or should i replace the gaskets and go from there.  I am going to pull the motor drop the oil pan and drain out all of the water/oil/chocolate milk.  What type of oil should i refill the motor with??

most of the people in canyon lake are swinger...lol.   

Hey guys i was just going to see if anyone has a rudder for a jc pump they are willing to sell or possibly "donate".  I am located in Temecula but end up in riverside/o.c. area quite often.  Thanks!

did you end up calling todd?? or did you take it somewhere else?  lets see some pics when you get some

hey pjet will that pic on the link work??  or do you need the badge in hand to make one?? You had said that the lettering would work but not the rabbit that is on it.  If we can get a pair made off of that i would be more than happy to buy a set.  otherwise looks like we gotta wait and see if aquaholic wants to donate his for a new pair

if you look under classifieds random boat parts there is a thread there that says new badges are here.  there is a pic of the crusader badge on there.  here is the link....  http://www.socaljetboats.com/index.php?topic=6787.0     let me know if you have someone who can make these and how much. I am interested in a set as well
