Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Re: Spark plugs for 460 ford.
« on: June 02, 2019, 09:58:29 PM »Looking for recommendations on what you big block ford guys run for plugs. Broke motor in on autolite 45 plugs, looking for what plug you guys recommend for my regular plugs. It’s a 9:8:1 compression, ported dove heads, edelbrock performer manifold, 850 quickfuel carb, custom ground cam about same specs as the stage 2 comp extreme marine cam, and msd distributor and coil.
AP25 for me

I’m pretty sure I’m at TDC on the compression stroke but could be wrong. Using thumb method and I see piston at top ... insert distributor facing cylinder 1 . Anything else I’m missing?

What’s going on good people I’m having troubles starting the boat up. Replaced Intake manifold and carb over the winter with a new fuel regulator . Took out distributor without marking 🤦🏽♂️ location. Seems like engine is not getting enough fuel or spark. Maybe timing? Can anyone chime in with some help.
Also is the way I have my fuel regulator correct ??

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Re: Timing cover
« on: October 29, 2018, 04:35:57 PM »No, that is not a cause for your milky oil and as far as that corrosion goes the cover is suitable for continued use. That hole is common and the water just fills a dead cavity in the front of the cyliner block.
Your milky oil could be a lot of things, including even simple collection of condensation that needs to be boiled off.
More often than not, water can leak into the lifter valley by way of pushing past the intake manifold gaskets during high water pressure (induced by a jet pump in a jet boat engine's cooling system). There are other possibilities, but check there first.
Thanks for the input, replaced head gaskets and intake manifold gasket,along with a weiand stealth intake, what’s the best way to boil off the condensation ? What is a good temp to run ? And how long should i be running the boat? Sometimes I’m only running it short trips A to B around lake.

Removed timing cover to try and find the reason I’m still getting milky oil and discovered a hole in the timing cover! Would this be my source why I’m getting milky oil???

Are the back ports of weiand hi tunnel ram usually plugged in the back ports? Looks like it’s JB welded! Is there a reason why it would be plugged?

« on: October 18, 2018, 09:20:50 AM »Put a thin layer of black silicone around all the water jackets on the block under the head gasket and again on the top of the head gasket so it seats well to the head surface. Also on the water jackets on the head where it mates to the intakeAppreciate the advice! The head gasket I have on now our felpro permatorque mls is there a recommended head gasket or can I just reorder the same one from before? Once again thanks for taking the time to respond!

« on: October 16, 2018, 06:32:31 PM »
I have a 460BBF that has been getting a little milky.. since it’s winter time I decided to replace head gaskets and Intake gaskets. After removing heads checked the head gaskets and didn’t notice too much damage but was wondering if you can get water from the head bolt areas or any other spots? Noticed water in back of block and milky in the head stud threads, Or am I just taking in too much pressure? I’m regulated with a gate valve from pump and I have a gate valve for headers that’s usually slightly cracked. Does anything in these pictures jump out to any of you as a problem?

Running wet headers yes no water at idle only when boat is going and I have a t valve and gate valve ... Hull is 78 Tahiti with a jacuzzi wj with diverter.... I just remember as a kid my uncle had a older Sanger with a 351 and it seemed to run all day with no problems and seemed pretty reliable... is a tunnel ram and double carb needed or smaller intake with single carb good enough? Sorry for being a rook owning is new to me but been raised on the lake and love to wrench on things!!
