no I mail ordered it from Atlantic speed shop in South Carolina and they claim that there are 3 manufacturers of lifters in the world and Comp cams use all 3 and from time to time 1 or the other will change spec so Im sol

Welp, look over the cam pretty good! I'd be a little nervous knowing that, lube and prime the hell outta the engine and follow the normal cam break in procedures. Prolly be OK. Flatten a cam that you're already SOL on anyway I guess is the next to worst that could happen. I'd personally change the oil a couple times and filters, make sure you add the comp break in additive, after a few days of running, again, cutting the filters open for shits and giggles.

that first one is interesting.  long intake runners without having a tunnel ram type setup. 

i was under the impression that short intake runners for high rpm is the way to go.  its not like our jet boats spend much time at low rpms...

Very much like the old crossrams of the 60's/70's used on the SCCA cars !

I was poking around on Ebay and CL today looking for something a little different maybe for my Yellow Sub and came across these 3. 1 I've seen before, but cool looking!

When you disassemble it make sure it isn't something simple like a loose flex plate or ?

OOOOOH! Good idea! Driveline or bad balancer maybe? 

intake still on Ray. machine shop says possible too much valve spring pressure but who knows. dont understand why its only 4 that are burnt could it be too long a push rod? I know we had a hard time getting the right lenghts to get the valves to open and close right I think we had to use 4 differant sizes thanks Ray

Are the burned ones from the same area of the engine?

getting no cooperation from avi. they told me last wed they would do it up and email me. I called fri no reply called this morning talked to the same girl as last wed she said they were going to email it but forgot or something that was at 9.00 am still nothing now. I have to put up a non refundable $250 deposit and commit to 15 rooms the new minimum  and the girl whose number you gave me does not work there anymore so far Im unimpressed with the Avi

Hell, they SHOULD love us! The women were all gambling while we bench race in the parking lot.......I don't think the place would be THAT full at that time of year........


Ray

You thought you threw it over the fence....I was on the other side with a baseball mit and caught it!    never touched the ground!

I did not to be the first to tell you, but the headers are on backwards!   LOL!......oh wait, thats for in the winter they act like a heater

Nah, I think he's gonna use the hairdryers for....well......Hairdryers!

I called the AVI and they have a new policy. instead of 10 rooms for a discount you have to book 15 rooms and I had to put up a $250.00 deposit to do it. The rates are thursday Aug 18    $26.10
                                                Friday Aug 19         $80.10
                                                Saturday Aug 20    $89.10
                                                Sunday Aug 21       $26.10


Not sure if enough will be interested but Im commited to coming and if we cant get enough we have to add 10% to those prices. I will be posting  a reservation code when they send it to me tomorrow

I'm still in! But "Policy" Ask Rivertard and my son about "Policy" there...............

Not sure, but I'm willing to bet we had 30 rooms or so last time I was involved in this.

Ray

want to sell me one? my tahiti was all over the place this weekend.

It's yours.....I'll bring one.....we'll talk about $ later if it works,,,,,,,,,,,I'm thinking FREE..........who's coming that I can give it to to get it to ya tho?

As far as being all over the place.........crawl under the boat.........are the fins on the intake intact?     Sounds strange to me......

Ray

Yup! regular pump, no Place Diverter? I got a couple
