My mistake when I got the boat it wads 496 I'm guessing that's a 060 over so that was an error with the 030 over, my bad.
My hour meter on my boat is original and read the low hours.
Obviously the block at one time was a 454 stock. The guy I bought it from original owner said he bought it wasn't excited with its power so had it bored, heads, different exhaust, intake and larger carb. Again, not a builder, but he didnt mention multiple builds so is it typical to go stock to a 060 over? Doesn't change the fact the block has under 150 hrs at time I collected it.
My MX bikes when racing, had 100's of hours on them, I've on occasion rejugged (top end/head) but that was rare. But one of my bikes had 3 builds on it still runs like a champ today and competitive. These are 250cc and 450cc very small compared to a 454 block

I'm not sure why this became a bash on others banter. I asked about whether this looked to be a fluke issue or the builder funked it up. I do appreciate those shoe gave input to help with what they know.

Not that it truly means a whole lot to me, but why in the world would one ditch the actual block, short of obvious flaws? The first issue I had with the cam losing a lobe was caused by a rocker not properly locked down, it spun 90 degrees and beat the piss out of it. The end of the push rod broke off and lifter broke and floated down to the end and scarred up the cam. It obviously ran but sounded like an old 7.3 PSD

This latest catastrophe, the cam had been broke in correctly with proper zinc additives and oil change with zinc added again.

Whomever stated "should've started with a new block" why? It was 030 over and was low hours (128 hrs). I'm not a mechanic by any means not even a good assembler but I've raced MX for years and had to do repairs to my bikes. Other then possible resleeved I don't recall ditching my block. But maybe there's a difference between a BBC and 2stroke and 4 stroke bikes? Please help me understand the new block statement. I know I need a new block now as it has a hole and fractured from top to bottom in the #7 sleeve

As to 40 mph and RPMs I was turning 3600, yes the exhaust tends to dilute the motor but my son was seated with back against the bench seating directly in front of block. For what it's worth he said nothing out of ordinary, just the audible clunk and sudden quietness 😁
As for my previous Cam loss, the push rod/lifter chewed up a lobe, made it nearly flat. It still ran but made a popping sound and you could hear the marble sound in the motor as the lifter swam about.
 Obnoxious gave me some info on KB pistons losing the top of piston. I read the rings are higher in these pistons, so have to account for that. Could be the issue, im not sure. My brother is on the same idea as its a detonation problem as one of the members here mentioned. The saga continues!

See if I can answer most of these questions as I don't have the build sheet on me:

Ignition: MSD HEI with 6ML
Advanced 32
Fuel brand new day before from VP station
Compression I believe was 11:5 but not certain not sure on the domes
Hydraulic lifters and cam
Scat 4.50 crank
You are correct on the non forged I have the forged ones in a box here at my house
As for .090 over the invoice for order indicated that but I'll try and get a number associated as they were shipped to builder
The pump cooling setup up by a company in S Cal called marine performance it does a have a ball valve control. Previous owner told me to turn it 3/4 way open so this is what I've done over the last year. I don't know what load means so not sure how to answer.

Builder came over to look at my boat asked to look at my MSD box explained its not a rev limiter built in. He's suggested over rev, I've never pushed it above 5K on the nose and that was for a 1/8 mile max due to the limited hours put on the build

Motor apart. No obvious signs of lack of oil/lube all bearings are nearly perfect. Crank was gorgeous but my cam was in three pieces and #7 piston broke into 5000 pieces
Here are some pics

Some discussion with Comp Cam and Keith Black distributor. They want all the left over valve dimensions, the spring tension(coil?) and few other details KB claims they've never seen their pistons explode quite like that. I've never seen the end of a cam shatter into pieces

What's your guys' thoughts?

I'd love to check it out this fall or spring 2014. Where do you launch on that part of the river? Is the river running good through that area(current wise)?

Nice looking boat. Had the toy long? How is the river down there? I've been from Havazoo to the bridge above topock, very interesting. Was with a guy who grew up on the river boating. So I'm not sure how navigating goes on the river I've only been a seated spectator!

Well update, builder called said separated jet from motor, jet is fine can't turn motor more then a 1/4"
Pulling motor said "I don't build motors that last less then 100's of hours before maintenance" so he and I are on the same page with a "warranty" idea.
My brother mentioned something about this new crank probably wasn't turning freely, probably the reason for failure.  Any input to what he's saying? Again not a mechanic but familiar to a point around the motor.

Simple, my older brother is a hot rod builder and has a hangar full of parts 😉My engine when I bought the boat was already high HP not sure the exact number. I lost the cam last fall. The motor was .030 over then. Now 090 over
My brother supplied all the parts needing replacement, got a forged crank from him (skat)that was balanced and I believe is 4.50? Anyways the 5K was disassemble of block, machine work.
Reworked heads valves ect
Machine and mech was 2400 and my brother hooked me up with pistons, rods, valves, crank, carb dominator, cam, and gaskets for 2500. Not a mechanic but was told this made it a stroker? The builder said if I hadn't a connection for the parts and what I had already done by removing engine and disassemble it price would be closer to the 11-12k range

Thanks! Can't really see your avatar. You have a posting on yours?
Im in Reno, rare to see any custom builders just your lame bayliners, over priced Malibu's Ect.
Went to Pyramid lake some kids (18-22) said "what's that? You make that boat" I laughed till beer came out my nose. He was shocked when he saw the engine and how easily I spooled off a 70+ mph run

Thought I'd share my puddle jumper;
1989 21' Eliminator
BBC blueprinted and balanced dyno just over 700HP

2800 watt stereo

Was a big learning curve from my Ultra Custom I/O to this Jet but got to say like the jet much better!

Had similar issues on my suburban, turned out bad battery cables. Had the "crunch crunch" big Johnson mentioned. Replaced and issues ceased😃 hope you find it. Electrical gremlins are a serious PITA

Was competed 3 weeks ago, have 7.3 hrs since regaining her. The builder says engine issues are on him the owner of machine/motor build shop (builders dad) race engine do not get warranty. Not a race engine just 710 HP of fun.  So needless to say told owner that's BS I didn't drop 5k (I brought all the goodies) to get 704.224 $$ per hour!
