Lower River / Re: Waterwheel or Aha Quin?

« on: March 14, 2015, 01:21:32 PM »

Lost Lake is a lot quieter than it used to be when we got our spot in there. I have no complaints over the years(9). Everyone gets along. No Snobs I know of. Compared to Big River, Lost Lake's water condition is like glass, even on the weekends.

Other than a few friends that have places at WW & AQ, neither of those places have anything that would pull me to them.

Lower River / Re: Red Rooster park

« on: March 03, 2015, 02:44:07 PM »

UMM... Actually The Indians didn't really flex their muscles. The Guy that had the Lease at Red Rooster was collecting money from the people that had spaces in the park. He had their money and wasn't paying the Indians for the park lease so. the Indians came in and took over(with the law behind them). There are still a few places in Red Rooster, but nothing like before(all private). Too bad. We used to camp at Red Rooster. When it went down, we moved down to McIntyre Park for 10 years or so.

How come you Ford boys are always using using recycled car/truck stuff and destroying it? I havent seen a 460 build on here yet besides Ralphs that has some nice heads, or performance parts.

GET IT TOGETHER FORD BOYS..............

This might qualify for having nice Heads and some performance parts. This 514 is out of the boat and on a 4 wheel cart. It makes 840 hp @6500 rpm on a conservative DTS Dyno, and ran 9.85 @ 109 at the races(could have e.t'd much better, but it was run with the setup I run at the River). The next engine will be a lot bigger and better(in all ways). I'll post it here when I'm done and it's dyno'd. RR

the final conclusion is that it spun a bearing.....

The question being did it fail due to Oil starvation, or did it spin due to the Rod Bolt stretching prior to failing and thus creating an environment conducive to the bearing spinning(relieving 'crush')? Something to think about. RR

Could have been the Pistons, OR, the stock, non polished, BROACHED, LO PO Rods(I can tell at a glance). If it was the Piston, The Rod wasn't far behind. They aren't really designed for the use a Jet boat will put them thru in this form(loading and unloading at 6500+ rpm is really stressful). Al least, switch to a Rod that is Polished and Shotpeened(properly), and has SPOT FACING for the Bolt seat. PLEASE use an ARP bolt(doesn't have to be the 'Wave Loc' type, just 8740 is a real upgrade) and kmake sure the Rods are prepped. They'll last like that a good, long while under hard use. JMO. RR
