Engine Mechanical / Electrical / SUNKEN BOAT HELP!!!!
« on: May 05, 2009, 03:17:15 PM »
Man I have bad luck! The girlfriend sunk the boat this weekend on it's first real lake trip the wed before was it's maiden voyage and no problems besides to much oil in the pan. After all the work I've done for 3-1/2 months day and night everyday!  :banghead: :mad: My question is is what are the chances of getting it running again? It went down in Saguaro Lake, AZ on sat. and they can't get it out till this comming sat. thats a week  :banghead: We have located it and the diver said its about 50 feet deep where the oil and gas was still comming up on sun. The motor was running, but just at idle and it happened so fast that it just choked the motor out and went under! (I'm crossing my fingers that it didn't hydrolock it) but with my luck that's probably not possible. I've heard that it's ok to be under the water for a while but when it comes out is when it's crunch time on the motor. I don't even know where to start nor what it may look like when it comes up. it's a ford 460. And any help would be much appreciated!!!!

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / engine compression
« on: May 01, 2009, 12:45:05 PM »
I just checked my engine cylinder compression and want to know if this is good compression or so-so and how long till I may need a rebuid. The motor runs just fine just curious. I have a 460 the #'s are as follows 1-120 2-140 3-130 4-135 5-125 6-130 7-130 8-130 I checked them all twice and this was the highest # for each cylinder, also hooked up a manual oil pressure gauge and am getting 55psi at idle. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi yall kinda new to the jet boat scene and just needed some help on a couple of issues. I have a 20ft. 1979 omega with a 460 and a jaccuzzi wj in it. I have a edelbrock performer 360 intake with an edelbrock 750. Just put a new pertroniks dizzy and coil in it. It has a dooley 10 quart oil pan, dont know what cam. I just took boat out yesterday and the boat feels like its moving good but tach only says its 3000 rpms when we were full bore floored also the oil press guage said around 40 psi when on trailer and stayed that way until im on it then down below 20 too almost a little above 0? all guages are new but senders are not. all new oil 20-50 and 1 quart of Lucas oil stabilizer. I see everybody else is turning at least 4300-5500 anywhere in there so are all my guagues full of shit or is there issues? also white smoke coming out of valve cover holes. Any help would be great. And there is no rope or cat in the jet already checked that! ha!  :banghead: :mad:
