you guys are convincing me that my finally buying a vintage jet boat was a great thing! This forum and members remind me of the vintage mx crowd... helpful, knowledgable, and usually have more beer than me in the cooler :-)

All my best race bikes were around the same year as my Tahiti....

here some crappy ones. I'm actully changing stuff around again. my set up is to good.lol motor never saw 140% and thats not good. I want it at 180%. I'll have to throw a morroso disc in the therm housing to heat it up more. doing away with the oil cooler and dry $umping

I was looking at old threads here (what a gold mone of info) and noticed some debate (?) on the free flow vs pressure reg on the bbc. Any current thoughts on that?

I see no regulator on mine, and since it runs about 140-160 underway suspect no thermostat.... Is that a BAD deal? p/o says no problem for years...etc

ps I run two gages, one on the intake as shown, and one sender in front of clock that runs to the gage at the dash (wanted to know whats really happening, and surprise, they pretty much match).

Heat = hp. until detonation. 180-200 is prime on a built bbc. I had mine at 130% and am making changes to bring it up. mostly a morosso them disc to slow down the flow a bit.

Put a blower on it you will build heat

. Really I went from 140 degrees N/A and then when I went blown I run a consistant 175-180 degrees. When I dyno'd it I had them run the water temp the same.

Also the debate regarding the pressure. Remember a car is a closed system and designed to run about 18 psi or so. I would not run anything on a Jet boat more than 20PSI otherwise you may be blowing intake gaskets or freeze plugs with too much pressure.

the way i think of it, my deal has been setup without a pressure regulator for 41 years. so i run it that way and its fine

sandegg-
I'm with you. Why mess with it if it isnt broken (yet?)
f I have a reason to pull it all apart then that will be different. Right now the truck is down so my prioroities are to get the tow vehicle running again before the weekend so I can go to the lake again.

I'm gonna to have to agree with TJ on this one. Running more than 20psi through you engine is not helping anything. You can easily put a pressure gauge inline with your system however, my pickle has one before the engine whereas I think it should be after the engine. I do intend on making that change on the Tahiti.
