GT,
     Hey as far as my cam im running a crane h-272-2a
     
     LIFT          DURATION
     107              216               intake

     117              228               exhaust
     

got another issue though since i found out about the heads it made me a little nervous about the lower end so i decided to breakdown the motor its all at the shop right now so im waiting for answers from them to figure out my money situation. Im pretty confident I should get back some better news this time the motor looked real good when I broke it down just had some wear on the bearings so im hoping for just a clean and polish on the crank and just deck the block and get everything ready for reassembly.
so I will keep you posted

With flat tops (with the eyebrow reliefs) IMO you are better off with some closed chamber heads (higher compression) flattops and closed chamber should get you close to 10.0:1, which IMHO is a good ratio for running pump gas. I will check the heads off White Trash tomorrow and let you know, they have one summer on them and only need freshening up, (I can get done). I "detuned" White Trash and these had to go (13.25:1 CR)  :o

One more question, on the guide plates, 3/8" pushrods? I may also have an extra valve grind gasket set, need to check (I use Fel-Pro's Marine stuff)

Lets get this thing back in the water...... 8)

GT

GT,
  your awsome! yes they are flat tops with eyebrow reliefs and pushrods measure 5/16???

Then casting #s really don't matter...LOL

Open or closed chamber? may have to go check the "shelf". I have so much Chevy shit that I should be dressing like Oroville Redenbacher  :o

I have some done and some not, but you can't have my ZL1 heads unless you have about $3500 you don't know what to do with... :sly:

All I have right now is Oval ports, I think one set of "Opens" and one "Closed" chamber...the opens need to be freshened up which I can get done for a price...

I, for some strange reason though you were dealing with a Blue orifice...I mean Oval.  :sly:

GT

GT,
    Hey there oval ports but dont know if there open or closed clue me in! I wanna say there open chambers but pistons are flat tops if that helps.The shop said I had deep chambers for marine use if that makes sense. So let me get this straight I dont have to worry about the casting #'S I can just bolt on any bb heads  with matching ports I heard they can play a big part with the overall performance if you randomly swap them out?

Might be able to help you out on the heads, but gonna be about a week or so. New (second) boat arrives Friday, just in time for my B-day party that I'm not supposed to know about, then take a couple days to change out it's engine with mine. Supposedly they're new Motorsports heads with like 20 minutes run time on them, but I dunno definetavly until I get the boat and get the engine out and tore down.

I don't need the heads unless they're something more special than I think they are, so.... will be available.

Stay tuned Race fans, not only can I leak test a boat in my pool (Which involved 8 people and more than a few Corona's), but I can rebuild engines! Scarey thought huh?

Ray

Wow thanks keep me posted will you that could be huge

Ok, pressurized the cooling system shes a leaker #5 cyl and #2 cyl. Pulled the heads tonight and found the water jackets filled with sand any suggestions on how to flush it out was thinking I would flip the block upside down and run water through the water pump inlets to flush it let me know if theirs a better way

Guys,
        Pulled the motor on my boat to do some maintenance gasket changes etc. the motor was rurnning great but went to drain the oil and got a free milkshake! Is it an absolute that the headgaskets are wasted or what other option could it be. The guy that I bought the boat from didnt keep it covered and the last rainstorm he had filled the hull with water could it make its way into the pan? Also saw him running the hose to this motor without it running heard that could bleed into the motor? do I just pull the heads for peice of mind or what?

Disgusted.

You need to turn off those valve covers  ;D

I've got some "Old School" gold anodized Moroso valve covers that would look killer on there.... 8)
