Can someone explain how...............

« **on:** April 03, 2009, 05:19:23 PM »

An engine, in this case a 502 BBC can run, and run to 5500 RPM with the following ills:

1. Broken Roller Rocker
2. Broken Rocker Stud
3. Broken Push Rod
4. 2 Bent Push Rods
5. Collapsed Lifter

DJ just called me, he's putting a Victor Jr on his boat, when he pulled the rocker covers that's what he saw on cyls # 1 & 3. He hasn't ran the boat since we were out last Sunday. I finally got the tune on the damn thing right and it was running great. How in the world is that possible with the aforementioned breakage?

Dunno, but have seen it before, think about it, the engine still had gobs of compression...

My friend was in the proccess of getting his motor running and forgot to plug in the passenger side spark plug wires.
Fires it up, it's running, like shit, he scatches his head for a bit.
Shuts it off and takes a look around, sure as shit, plug wires are just layin there

Its when you break shit in the bottom end that a Chevy quites, until then......

Can someone explain how someone can drive a boat with that much engine damage and not notice ?

Was it an 18 pack day ?

must be one god awful LOUD exhaust.

« **Reply #22 on:** April 14, 2009, 01:31:00 PM »

The crazy thing is it wasn't making any messed up noise was it acting like it was running shitty. I mena I did just buy the boat so it seemed to be running fine to me and timed ok. So who knows. It's all good now. and hopefully it stays that way all summer.
