Refer to ENGINE MANAGEMENT for procedures.
Crankcase
Crankcase halves are factory matched and there-
fore, are not interchangeable or available as single
halves.
947 Carburetor-Equipped Engines
Prior to joining crankcase halves, apply a light coat
of Loctite 518 on mating surfaces. Do not apply in
excess as it will spread out inside crankcase.
NOTE: On aluminum material it is recommended
to use Loctite Primer N to reduce curing time and
increase gap filling capability. Refer to manufactur-
er's instructions.
947 DI Engine
Add 40 mL (1.35 oz) of Sea-Doo synthetic jet
pump oil (P/N 293 600 011) or standard gear oil in
the counterbalance shaft gear cavity.
CAUTION: Using different type of oil may re-
duce engine component life.
IMPORTANT: When beginning the application of
the crankcase sealant, the assembly and the first
torquing should be done within 10 minutes. It is
suggested to have all you need on hand to save
time.
NOTE: It is recommended to apply this specific
sealant as described here to get an uniform appli-
cation without lumps.

Use the silicone-based Loctite 5910 (P/N 293 800
081) on mating surfaces.
Use a plexyglass plate and apply some sealant on
it. Use a soft rubber roller (50 - 75 mm (2 - 3 in))
(available in arts products suppliers for printmak-
ing) and roll the sealant to get a thin uniform coat
on the plate (spread as necessary). When ready,
apply the sealant on crankcase mating surfaces.
Do not apply in excess as it will spread out inside
crankcase.
CAUTION: If sealant spread out inside air com-
pressor area, it clould plug the compressor lu-
brication nipple and serious compressor dam-
age may occur. NEVER use the Loctite 515 or
518 to seal this crankcase.
NOTE: Do not use Loctite Primer N with this seal-
ant. The sealant curing time is similar to the Loc-
tite 518 without using the Primer N.
