i just might have one for you..let me look

well...so after i timed it in the drive way on saturday on the hose, it was running great 70-75 lbs of oilpressure temp was good, smooth revving...even when i got it in the lake let it run on the trailer for about 10 mins  all checked out good....loaded everybody up..there was 6 of us and the dog...pulled out of the no wake excellerated a bit on plane to about 30 really easy for about 10 minuates and i started to here noises comming from the motor and oil pressure dropped to 40psiand started to warm up a bit, i had the water valve turned full open, sounded like a loose rocker on the right side or some kind of nocking.....drove it easy to the cove where terry and nordie, and 454nordic were hanging out....just felt disappointed limping the boat in, was really hoping it had ran well to get me through the rest of the season....hung out for about 2 hours let it cool down, good sized oil leak floating in the bildge, hadnt leaked at home???....it was still pretty warm when i took off the valve cover to check the rockers all were tight and no popped out pushrods.....borrowed a quart of oil and put it in before we left ...took off drove for about 5 mins and motor started knocking pretty good and less than 20 psi oilpressure...and shut off....nordie cruised by i told him the motor was done! he went and got 454 nordic(brandon) to tow me back in to the launchramp.....so im back to square one! but hopefully i got a good block to start with and we will just have to see what happens next, got to save up lots for the next build.......thats all i can do! thanks again brandon for the tow! and the oil

thanks guys.....looks like im going to be out untill next season maybe....hey she ran turn key for about two years with no worries so.....im going to take my time on he rebuild and make it stout! thanks again everyone...got nothing but kind words to everybody here, just how it goes in the boating world!


when i get more time later today around lunch ill post more on the motor!.....

well after a little "rotor" adjustment...lol she fired up just fine...needs to be timed though......but so far no oil or water leaks....just a small exhaust leak comming from a small dime sized freeze plug in the head on the drivers side ....epoxy to the rescue!

im hoping to go out to the lake saturday to test it and see how she runs......thanks all for your help and encouragement!

unfortunatly had too much going on last night ...... the woman got tired and didnt wanna play boat so i had no helper......but she said she would tonight so..... we will try again...im really getting anxious! 

we're not talking an 80+ MPH boat here.

...lol 45 maybe if hes lucky......j/k nordie

it was a "boys" trip out ....no evidence...lol fun was had by all i assure you.....even aquaholic had a good time untill his boat caught fire...im sure he'll tell you all about it.
