As much as we fill cylinder heads to quick check bad valve sealing maybe another approach?
We use the iPhone bore scopes to peek in every thing before we tear down to see ugly .
Put her in. Listen for trickling and start looking. You may have a running only leak that can be difficult as you would need to see if it’s lake or engine temperature. ( warm water in the bilge).
Anyway just an additional tool that’s reasonable.

I actually have one of those in our lab. Will bring it next outing. I can't visually see anything back there with the big engine in the way. Good idea!

Waiting for the CA, NV governors to allow boats in lake Tahoe.

Looking good. Is there still much snow up there?

The snow is usually melted by mid July. It's high 70's in Tahoe now.

I was talking to one of my buddies in South Lake yesterday who was bitching about the boating/paddling restrictions. We had a place in King’s Beach for 12 years until 2018 and I still have a lot of friends in El Dorado County, one of which has a place in Tahoe Keys.

Yeah looking good.. Soon FLC .

I got a rare glimpse of my R5 from a different vantage point - another boat. Our Marker One got dropped off at its usual spot after winter storage at Zorbaz restaurant docks on the north end of the lake so my son and I ran up there in the Cobalt(just went in the water earlier today) to pick it up. I was nice and let him take the R5 on the way back and took a few pics. We were the only two boats on the lake. All is right at our lake home with both boats and both SeaDoos in the water and read for action. My wife and two girls arrive tomorrow and both are bringing friends along to join my son and his two buddies that also arrive tomorrow afternoon. Let the boating season begin!!! Did I mention that I am happy!

Your boat is a beauty and looks new after the detailing. Nisswa Marine stores our Marker One and does all the maintenance on it. It’s really strange not seeing any boats but I’m sure they will be out this weekend and the fishing opener is right around the corner so we will enjoy the quiet lake while it lasts.

Enjoyed our few hours up there, one of the nicest dealers I have ever dealt with besides my current hometown dealer..

Told my sales guy Dan, I wanted to come back up and spend a day on that lake. Simply stunning..
