It's gonna have to be a whole lot warmer up here before I crawl outside and get some boating video. 

How come your motor is apart TJ?  That boat of yours needed NUTHIN!

Didn't like the MLS headgaskets. They leaked. Took the heads off, and the pan to check the torque on everything. Also had to replace the front snout gasket on the blower. It was seeping a tiny bit. Also swapped the pulleys and going over driven. Making the bugcather a two hole-er instead of a one hole-er and getting a dyno tune with an EFI guru.

 Looks like someone reorganized there Photobucket account. If you move the pics around over there it breaks all the links to them.

thats why i dont promote the use of any external pic hosting services....i know my site isnt the easiest place to post pictures, but it avoids stuff like this :( ...im still looking for simpler solutions.

Sorry guys. It's even worse than just organizing them.  I somehow managed to delete all my online photos other than some misc. ones.  The thought of going back and rebuilding it does NOT sound like fun and I didnt really know if there was any interest to make it worth it.

Crap!  You guys suck....  Okay, I'll do it but right now I'm enjoying a serious buzz from lighting off this thing INSIDE the shop.  Didnt expect it to fire quite so quick but let me tell you, a blown 500"r with zoomies will cure anything...  Huh, did somebody say sumthin?    Nice way to clear the dust from the rafters though.... ;D

Yeah, OK, we suck. Now get the damn pictures back up, oh, and add some vids of the engine running while you're at it!

LOL on getting your bell rung. I remember setting Nordie up with some headers, his old ones had the baffles welded in. Told him "I notice no difference with or without the baffles, you want the baffles?" He said no.

Called me a few hours later calling me everything but a white boy saying "You F-In Liar!!!!!!! My ears are still ringin!"
