Got an email earlier today from the shop owner:

-->The damaged jetski is a 2006 Kawasaki STX-15F.  As you saw, there was 
water in the engine and engine compartment which caused
a valve to break ruining the cylinder head.

A rough estimate to fix the broken cyinder head includes: parts  $3254, 15 
hours of labor @ $40 per hour, misc. machine work $250.

The estimate to put in a standard remanufactured engine includes:  Engine 
$1795, Gasket Kit $86, Shipping $360.  Total: $2241
These prices include my purchasing discount for the engine and gasket kit. 
I am not charging you any labor hours or jetski down time which would total 
approximately $500.  The place where I get the remanufactured parts from 
said the engine would take 10 days to get.

Please get back with me as soon as you can.  I would like to get the parts 
ordered and this ski fixed as soon as possible.

She didn't know exactly where the air intake is on this jet ski. I can ask 
their main mechanic guy.
