what does the 1/2 fill on the block do? is that a good thing or bad thing? the one sleeve kind of scares me to.

he pretty much knew right of the bat one of the reasons of the mechanical failure was the oil pan and sump was his first guess. i knew better when i bought the boat but the guy said he never had a problem with it.

when i met him today he seemed pretty dam sharp. i'm glad to hear other people had the same opinion. it feels good to find a guy i can trust with my boat rather than some hack at a speed shop!

i just bought a 78' tx19 youngblood 3 weeks ago and i blew the motor yesterday right through the top of the oil pan and bottom of the block. i was told the motor only had nine hours on it. i was wanting some information on what parts i need or would it be better to just buy new motor. the block number is D1ve 460 with supposedly over 600hp. the boat was running fine when broke. i was running at 4k on the tach when she let go. would greatly appreciate some wisdom on this matter. maybe a ballpark figure on price to fix at speed shop, or the parts to buy. thank you.
