Need Advice on head bolts. I have a 454 V1 with aluminum heads. Bought headers and they hit the bottom 4 head bolts. Their about a 1/4 inch too high. So I need to change to a lower profile old type hex bolt. Any advice? I believe I still need to have washers under the bolt. Anybody have this problem?
Hi Guys, New to jet boating (need some advice) currently have a 454 with log exhaust, thinking of installing the bassett headers. I notice on some of your beautiful boats both long and short collectors. Any advice on which one? Its a 85 Taylor SJ Model. Do the muffers work good? thanks

Hi , I'm new to current jet boats. I had a couple in the 70"S but need your imput on current engine choices. We bought a 1985 taylor with a 454 CI with a dominator pump. Took it out but sucked a valve. Need new short block. Do I need a marine short block? not looking to race but want decent power, running msd, air gap oval intake and 800cfm.Any suggestions?
Thank you Dan. Look like I might have to remove back seat. Any other tips? Can I unbolt the U joint through the access? Hole on the bell housing? Then unbolt bell housing? My wife just bought this boat and came apart after one run.
Trying to remove BBC from a Dominator jet pump. How far does the spline engage into the pump, as I only have inches to move forward in a Taylor SJ. Any help is greatly welcomed!
