Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Re: 454 Gen VI piston rings?!
« on: March 10, 2010, 07:39:02 AM »
Upon further investigation i found that the solid oil rings are fatter than stock.  this being the cause of why they won't fit.  But if anyone knows a part number for the correct ring set that would be great. :sly:

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / 454 Gen VI piston rings?!
« on: March 09, 2010, 07:47:28 PM »
So... building the motor and went to the local speed shop and picked up some new rings.  Even took them my old rings so that they could measure something and then they sent me home with a brand new box of Sealed Power e233 rings.  Great.... right?  Not so much  :banghead:
When i go to install the piston,the oil ring (the solid ones that go on top and bottom) will not collapse enough to allow it to fit.  I took a solid oil ring just to verify that there is no overlap, which there isn't so it's not too long.   but when i put them on over the fancy looking middle oil ring, it wont allow the rings to close all the way.  And that causes it not to fit.     :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
So any ideas?  I have a stock 454 Gen Vi, stock pistons, with stock bore.  I have been "googlein' all day but have come up with nothing.  help..  :mad:

WTB / WTB.. Thru Transom Headers
« on: March 08, 2010, 07:53:28 AM »
Looking for a set of black, or chrome, thru transom headers.  I would like to get some that are water injected, not the jacketed... So basically a set of Bassett headers but the thru transom type.   Not looking to break the bank either, but then again, who ever is?

I am currently rebuilding my motor and thanks to a few friends I have come upon some new parts so I will not be needing the stock stuff.  Here's what I got..

1- 1 Set of Gen V HO Heads, shows signs of leaking valves (#14097088)

2- Polished Intake Manifold (Not sure what kind, no #'s on it that I could find) Looks to be a dual plane.  

3- Clay Smith Cam.  (#C-304-8-B)
    **It is a solid type cam so if you buy the cam i will give you the lifters that were ran with it. 

4- Set of fabricated Tall Valve Covers complete with tall breather.  Breather mounted towards the front on both valve covers

5- Complete set of pushrods


More may or may not be added to the list as I come up on more parts.  Pictures are to follow as well as part #'s.  Everything is at home so that's why I don't have them now.

If your interested in anything, send me a PM and the best offer gets it.

Boats For Sale / Re: Good deal???
« on: March 03, 2010, 07:48:18 PM »
Just from reading your last post i would say, pass it up.  If it is making you hesitant before you buy it, just wait to and see how you feel when it's in your driveway and you are finding more stuff that needs done than you originally thought.  Its funny how fast a 1,000$ job can turn into $2000. 
With today's economy, you can find your dream boat out there, just takes some looking.  And the way most people are needing money, you can get a boat that is way better condition for less than it would take to do the interior on the original boat you looked at.
so, if it was me, let it go.  But if it calls to you then there isn't much you can do about that.  good luck with your search.

Boats For Sale / Re: Looking for Jet preferably with 454 and wet stacks.
« on: February 28, 2010, 08:06:02 PM »
Oh, and i forgot to put it, but he used to have black headers on the boat that went thru-transom..  It may be something closer to what you are looking for other than the OTT headers that are on it.  I am sure that he would throw them in also since he won't need them anymore.

Here is the boat for you.  A buddy is selling it and i can't believe he is letting it go.  the 454 in it was just rebuilt last season, and I don't mean the begining, more towards the end.  i would be surprised if it has more than 10 runs on it since the rebuild.  Best boat for the money.  Good luck and hope this helps.

Jet Pumps / Re: place diverter or trim tabs
« on: February 27, 2010, 11:08:41 AM »
Its all about the diverter.  imo you can do more with a diverter than just tabs alone.  So start with diverter and if still not happy, get the tabs too.

Lower River / Re: are the carp floatin in Blythe yet?
« on: July 20, 2009, 06:38:07 AM »
Went out this last weekend, (17-19th) and we saw about 8 floating on friday and not as many on Saturday and Sunday.  But they are there so that sucks.  Big ones too, they look like little logs floating down river.

Lower River / TREE SWING IS GONE!
« on: July 20, 2009, 06:36:28 AM »
Went to Lost Lake this weekend and while going up river noticed that the Tree Swing is gone.  They did some construction work above it and move a ton of dirt taking out the tree.  You can't even see the tree no more where it used to be.   They did make some more beach where it used to be though so it's not that bad I suppose.  Good at  low water, high water it may not work as well.

Lower River / Re: Easter Weekend in Blythe (video posted)
« on: April 15, 2009, 10:49:09 AM »
Went to Lost Lake on Easter weekend and the water was WAY up.  We were launching and the water was at the point where it is usually is when we would pull out...   It is nice to have plently of water for the entire day but then again there is no sand bar to go to.  Damned either way I suppose.

SoCal Lakes / Re: Elsinore 4 MLK day?
« on: January 22, 2009, 09:02:08 AM »
I figured it was cold... But I didn't think it would be that cold.  So now it's "run the boat and freeze for a couple mins to do it"  or  "Don't run it and stay warm..."  I may be able to get over being cold...  hmmm..

SoCal Lakes / Re: Elsinore 4 MLK day?
« on: January 20, 2009, 06:07:01 AM »
Did you go??  I am curious to what the water temp is, "ballpark" of course.... I want to take the boat down there and run it but the water temp is what dictates if the wife and kids go.

On my trailer, the rear "bar" is bending.  I am referring to the bar that goes across from each side, that houses all the rear lights and also the place for the rear straps.  I believe this is due to the fact that when i strap the boat down on the trailer, and as the boat bounces when driving, it causes the straps to pull up on the bar.  Thus is why it bends. 
My question to you, is it repairable or is the integrity of the metal already gone due to the fact that it is bending? I have a few ideas on how to fix it but I would also like to hear what you think..... Thanks

SoCal Lakes / Re: Parasite possibly at Elsinore...
« on: September 22, 2008, 10:35:42 AM »
When I first heard this story, I admit, I was a little worried about it.  But once I finally got on the internet and google'd it, it is actually more common than one would think.  It doesn't happen all the time but it did happen twice in Havasu last year and nobody made a big deal about that.
So yeah, it does suck and it's pretty crazy.  But I guess stranger things have happened.

Lower River / Re: Labor Day...Lost Lake
« on: September 11, 2008, 01:21:52 PM »
Great pics!  That's a great section of the river too, just to the south of Lost Lake.  I don't really go down river too much, mostly go up to the sandbar and tree swing sometimes. 
Seeing those pictures though, makes me want to get out there again.

To get to Lost Lake, take the 10 East and once you get into Blythe, turn north on the 95 (last exit before Arizona).  Lost Lake is 30 miles north on the US-95.
