Dude I love your references!  Bike racks..lol well I think I see the differences now between jet fevers system and this one.. jet used a "set it and forget it" type of pressure regulated set at 12psi and anything over 12 is overboarded. This one sounds like the pop up valve is acting like an street engine radiator cap to relieve too much pressure..yes?

Lol wait, air cooled? I talking about running a closed loop system utilizing antifreeze like any car or truck on the road..

Hey GT,  I was reading your posts in the thread about water pressure...you were pretty adamant on NOT using a tstat...in THIS post, what makes THIS system any different than what that jet fever guy was trying to argue?? Just tryin to learn something..

I will not post in this thread again, but in my defense, "over simplification" and just out right "incorrect information" has too large of a delta for me to let stand.

For anyone else on here, from now forward, I will only point out what is wrong with some information and it will go no further. Didn't mean to single anybody out.

I used to provide feedback for Mercury Marine back in the day for service bulletins and warranty procedures. I helped out Fineline Industries (makers of the Ski Centurion line of boats) with the first few Yamaha powered boats they built.
I came up with a fix for a problem that Yamaha Marine had with their inboard outboard line of marine engines that they struggled with for over two years (a mere lifetime when you consider how many engines they built).

It was worth my time because I am very passionate about doing it right or not at all. If the information is out there, it needs to be correct and concise. Otherwise it's just words.

The reason I joined this forum so many years ago is because there seemed to be some people on here with many of the same interests I had and noticed how many owners were struggling with something so simple. It was always second nature for me.

The only reason I posted my resume' is because you seemed to think it was necessary.

I don't doubt you have a ton of knowledge, that was never the point, you don't need to defend your character to me or anyone else, but these are smart folks on here, you are not going to be able to "phone one in".

Sorry I pooped in the sandbox folks...

Brad, sorry man..  :-

your mom...i like your passion. kroggy...it sucks when a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch...alot of US citizens are becoming aware of "bullying" in general everyday do to the availability of different types of media. Not all cops, but some cops abuse their authority..."RESPECT MY AUTHORITY!!!" -cartman from southpark,  ...unfortunately that is how the policing in america is being portrayed. More Americans are fed up, in general, with the fed, the war, the crappy economy, gas prices, etc... and watching media like this one doesnt help anything... But its doesn't mean all the "5-0s" are bad people. cops have to follow procedure and/also must use discretion when making on the spot decisions.

Your mom, the other thing, which im sure your aware of, is government take overs...did you know that "TYSON" controls over 90% of the nations meat products? any meat...cow, chicken, pig, horse, eel, the list goes on...

look at walmart, costco, tyson, mcdonalds, obama..all perfect examples of government takeovers...

I feel bad for the ranchers...it sucks that the only way a person can get heard now a days(by the way a bill was just passed by the supreme court supporting "FAT CAT lobbiest") is by the size of your wallet. If your not supported by the government these days and surcome to the governments needs, the gov will snuff you out. Small business is effected the largest of ways. this country was started by small business and everyday one of those samll companies get shut down because they cant afford the taxes..but yet the gov can bail out a failing car company that put millions of lives in danger(GM recalls..)..in my humble opinion, if ALL of america was run by small business, stop holding the worlds hand, and focus on the problems on our HOME turf, then we could all be happier..okay enough of that tangent..

To ALL members...WATCH THE MOVIE "IDIOCRACY"... some fictional movie predictions are already true...


I have MAD respect for authority...but...it has to be earned..just because your were a badge, doesn't mean your better than me. Same goes for people who have more disposable income than me..

money and power does not make you a leader. acceptance by your peers through respect makes you a god among men. George Washington was elected president because he was the best person for the job. obama was elected president because he is black? we need to all take the blinders off and bust out the cropping whip. be aware of your surroudings. always question authority. im pretty sure all good parents try to instill in them to never "settle" in life.

Call me an idiot, call me an asshole...but asshole and opinions go hand in hand as we know how that saying goes...

in my humble opinion 

Lol!!!

Check your pump...the vanes on the impeller could be worn to nothing.  When idling the worn vanes don't create enough flow..when spinning fast the vanes create more flow thus cooling it down..when you run back down at idle the motor will warm back up due to lack of internal flow... definitely check all the hoses and the water jacket plugs in the block.

I was on facebook earlier today and was on "jet boats rock" and one guy was posting something about putting his 14-1 mtor together and he was getting ready for the water...im on scjb all the time but have not run acrost this topic..so i guess i was just wondering what the pros and cons were...

I have been distant from the engine/hotrod/go fast game for awhile and did know about the sciences, advances and technology of e85.

The only real question i have now is, why not(other than availability) run e85 in a motor that is not intended for it? ie a mid 90s pickup thats completly stock..just scanning over the info, it sounds like e85 acts almost like running 110 octane...other than the long term detriment to the parts that cant handle the internal explosion for very long but man, it sounds like it sure would be fun for a few miles..lol
