Hey guys,

Having an issue with my 455...rebuilt the engine before the season, it has a torker manifold a xe274 comp cam and its bored .30 over has exhaust logs. took it out in June got the milky oil issues...replaced the intake gasket and the head gaskets (thought it was the intake gasket, had a water trail in the front part of the intake valley) and I installed a pressure relief valve...set at 10psi. did all that then I ran it on the hose...no issues and then took it out to lost lake the sunday before labor day weekend...no water in the oil Did some good short runs. Took it to needles for labor day weekend...launched it (sat on the trailer for a minute or two) then did a good 8 or 10 minute run before I took it back to the beach...milk shaked after that run (saw it cause it came out the breathers on the valve covers). What could this be...the oil temp was pretty hot felt it on the dip stick (don't have a oil temp gauge) engine didn't get past 110.

Being as it had about 1,200 hours on it it did alright. Probably 55, never really measured it with anything with any precision.

We used it every weekday after for about four years. Loved that boat.

I payed $350 for it from the tow yard. The registration cost me more. Lol

So just go with an "a"...

And my other question...if that wear ring is toast would that let the motor hit a higher rpm?

Well today I finally opened up my pump for the first time...and the impeller is done. So i will be replacing that but i have a few questions... Some backround ive owned this boat for about two years and last season And rod bearing decided to let loose. It was a very mild motor (stocker) and the impeller is a A2 cut

Anyway my first question...
if the impeller is missing part of the fin would that mess up my rpm range...cause the engine would rev well past 5k and on take off it would rev high then level out, or a worn out wear ring or both

Second question... The rebuilt engine has 9 to 1 compression, xe274 comp cam with ka heads with a torker manifold will another a2 impeller be a good match for this engine?

This is kind of a long shot but what the hell...
Would anyone know what engines they offered in this boat with a Berkely pump?
Or anyway i could find out what from the hull id what came in it?

Ok I searched for a straight answer but couldn't find one...

I installed a new torker intake on my 455...well the gasket moved during the install process and water went right into the intake valley  . Not a great feeling when you have to dump out 12qts of brand new oil. Anyway I was wondering if anyone used a "gasgacinch" type sealer around cylinder ports with rtv around the water ports or no rtv at all?

Looking for a Holley 750 Double pumper. Let me know if you got one laying around

Just to let everyone know...napa has a month long sale on VR1 (non-syn) 1.90 off...not much but saves you about a 36 pack when you change a huge oil pan.

Looks like they have different rates for how many months you stay. 500 to 400 utilities included.

I wouldn't mind a full copy of that...
