Engine Mechanical / Electrical / 454 BBC leaking water
« on: July 01, 2019, 11:48:35 AM »
I just had my 454 rebuilt and unfortunately finding out they did a terrible job.
We got the manifold bolts that were stripped in all fixed, water was leaking externally out the top of the manifold.
Next we changed the non adjustable rockers to adjustable and it runs perfect.
Issue is the oil keeps turning milky.
Ive ran gallons of oil thru it, pumping it out the remote oil filter, draining etc.
I had the oil pretty clean without running water in the engine as soon as I ran water thru it the oil goes white.
Im going to pull the valve covers to look for any water leak from a cracked head, cracked manifold.
Any other tips or tricks for tracking down the leak, without pulling the engine?
Thanks in advance

2000 ultra jet boat with a 502 engine. Was running rough mid throttle last trip, took carb off and had it rebuilt.also changed rotor( have tried starting with old and new one)
Just put it back on it started ran for 30 seconds and died. Now it cranks strong, 6-7 psi fuel pressure, has spark at plug wire.
Anything else I should check?
Thanks

Thank you! Just got it ordered.
Anyone add a gas strut on opposite side of hatch to help actuator?
Mine has a hard time lifting after it’s been closed for a while. It also draws 28amps so I’m thinking with the bot not running it’s not getting the power it needs.
Tested voltage and going up only getting 5.5volts going down 9.5 volts.

Going to replace my steering cable. Can anyone help me identify the length of this Morse cable?
Thanks
Thanks

Anything special on changing our steering cable? Here’s pictures of the ends.

Thank you for the help.
Thinking again on the actuator I think it is electric not hydraulic.
I will try changing the cable on steering because pump was freshly rebuilt, unless there’s an easy way to see which needs to be replaced?
The steering wheel is also upside down when driving straight.
Attached is a pic
Thanks!

Just bought an ultra jet boat last week and took it out this weekend for the first time. We love the boat just have a few questions
1. Hydraulic lift hatch had trouble opening after its been closed a while. And it’s pretty slow, maybe just tired. Is it best to add a second one?
2. Steering feels stiff under power is this normal for a jet or should I replace cable or look into a hydraulic set up?
3. Bilge pump is really load- if I replace it should I go with an automatic style? Not sure the one in it is.
Thanks
