I take no offense at all I like to here what the guys with knowledge have to say. I'm new to this so I have a lot to learn.

I didn't build the motor I paid to have it done an went way over budget and it didn't start when I picked it up that was dumb of me. When it was over heating the first time out he had no answear to why. just went off what the builder told me. I was told some stuff needed to be changed but will be fine for short term.

Soon I can get it someplace to tear down or I might just rent/ a picker and stand and go at it. No garage at my house so it's hard. Once I figure out the problem/problems I'll start ordering parts. Also replace parts that are on it that should be upgraded to the right parts

Just want to say thanks to in advance for the help

Was running an edelbrock 750.

I hear nothing but bad about them and I thought we covered the oil issue but bam. Re used the old pistons but was told they would be fine and some work was done to them. I just want to get it fixed. Just have to be patient but it sure is hard once you get hooked

Long story short this was the 2nd time out less than an hour on the rebuilt motor. Temp was at 210 at idle then dropped to 150-170 when running even at very low speeds. Ran good both days a week part. Then after the 3rd run around pyramid then what I typed above happened and no idea why. Just going to have to pl the motor with some help that's been offered by moarpower since I don't have the space or tools to do that at my house.

I haven't but will for sure tomorrow and post pics of what comes out. Appreciate the help guys

He'll I'll go to Inland empire, just need this motor fixed and gone. Someone has to have a good referral.

Keep an eye out for my sister and I in her brown boat. I won't be taking out the southwind due to it being so close to the dexter race.

Wow your sister has one badass boat. Where does this take place?

No water in the oil and thanks for the info

Can anyone tell me how water travels up up hill against gravity and exhaust pressure? I truly and confused, Any pics of how logs work internally? I'll google iti guess

But I'm so handy

So from my last post.. our rebuilt motor with about an hour on it broke down. Looks like over heating was the cause of rod knock. I did some research on how an olds 455 should be plumbed. I noticed the diagram is different from mine. Could this be the cause of motor failure? Here are some pics
