Engine Mechanical / Electrical / 460 help
« on: April 30, 2019, 07:37:57 PM »
What’s going on good people I’m having troubles starting the boat up. Replaced Intake manifold and carb over the winter with a new fuel regulator . Took out distributor without marking 🤦🏽♂️ location. Seems like engine is not getting enough fuel or spark. Maybe timing? Can anyone chime in with some help.
Also is the way I have my fuel regulator correct ??

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Timing cover
« on: October 24, 2018, 06:30:25 PM »
Removed timing cover to try and find the reason I’m still getting milky oil and discovered a hole in the timing cover! Would this be my source why I’m getting milky oil???

Are the back ports of weiand hi tunnel ram usually plugged in the back ports? Looks like it’s JB welded! Is there a reason why it would be plugged?

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Question?
« on: October 16, 2018, 06:32:31 PM »
I have a 460BBF that has been getting a little milky.. since it’s winter time I decided to replace head gaskets and Intake gaskets. After removing heads checked the head gaskets and didn’t notice too much damage but was wondering if you can get water from the head bolt areas or any other spots? Noticed water in back of block and milky in the head stud threads, Or am I just taking in too much pressure? I’m regulated with a gate valve from pump and I have a gate valve for headers that’s usually slightly cracked. Does anything in these pictures jump out to any of you as a problem?

Sup y’all I’m in the process of replacing Intake manifold gaskets and header gaskets and I have one last 12 point bolt to remove but can’t find anything to remove it... tried crow foot and ratchet and socket but pipes get in way. Can’t find anything skinny enough to remove it... any suggestions you guys have so I can finish this up this weekend??

Jet Pumps / JB Weld Removal
« on: July 18, 2018, 07:41:40 PM »
I would like to remove this fitting on the pump so I can add a nipple and gate valve to pump. Looks like it’s on there with JB weld... is the best way to remove it with heat? Torch really quick? Safe ?? Will it damage anything else? Will it melt away any other silicone around pump? Thanks in advance..

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Rust and Corrosion
« on: March 08, 2018, 08:25:22 PM »
Just wondering if there is anything you can put on engine or headers to prevent rusting or corrosion? ( I’m hearing wd40 ) Boat has been garaged all its life but recently started to store it outside for space reasons. I uncovered yesterday to do some work on it and noticed rust on headers and bolts and chrome and tunnel ram fading. Any advice is greatly appreciated thanks.

Jet Pumps / Wear ring / block test
« on: September 08, 2017, 09:58:57 AM »
Took the boat out this past weekend and noticed more water then normal under the engine and also noticed water in my oil. I pumped out all oil and changed filter and refilled oil now I want to test on trailer to see if I'm leaking water due to a cracked block. Will I ruin my wear ring on a jacuzzi 12wj/b by hooking up a hose to run boat?
