Title: I think I'm in trouble please help
Post by: coors909 on March 17, 2016, 08:30:58 PM: I bought these indmars used and the guy said he pressured tested them and they were fine. I cleaned them up and found some cracks will they still work or should I scrap them?

Post by: GT Jets on March 17, 2016, 10:29:29 PM: That engine ran lean as hell. That looks like a lot of welding to me.

I have s brand new set stock Mercruiser 454 manifolds if you get desperate. We pulled them off the Crusader engine, never had fire in them.

Sucks.

Post by: coors909 on March 18, 2016, 11:33:36 PM: I'm going to go just cheaper with my boat this year and just make it reliable. I want to buy a Bubble Deck Hallet preferably.
