Engine Mechanical / Electrical / 460 issues. Maybe head gasket?

« on: August 18, 2022, 08:29:42 PM »

Helping a buddy out next weekend and any help is appreciated on where to start.

It?s a 460 that ran super hot ~210ish when coming down the river last summer. Figured out there was a clogged water line. Then went to run it this summer and had water in the oil. Enough to where he has to do an oil change after each trip. Any suggestions on where to start? Is changing the head gaskets as simple as just pulling off the heads and placing a new gasket on?

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Looking for bucket seats and rear bench

« on: November 02, 2019, 12:01:30 PM »

Amongst many things this winter, interior is also on my list for the Carrera. I'm having trouble locking down where to find a decent set of buckets and rear bench.

Does anyone have any thoughts on these Amazon chairs? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01CTNXVH4/ref=sspa_mw_detail_5?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Or even a good contact for the greater LA area?

Thanks!

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Looking for a new engine 450-500hp

« on: May 19, 2019, 04:30:42 PM »

This winter I'm going to be putting some work into the float and I'm looking for a fresh 454 to drop in. Anyone have any recommendations for a builder? Or is it easy enough to find a crate engine in the 5 to 7k price range that will do the job. Putting it into a Carrera eclipse in the pic below.

Lower River / Best park on lower river?

« on: March 04, 2018, 08:21:43 PM »

So i'm picking up a trailer finally this month and i'm looking at different parks to leave it at. Last i looked Mac you had to buy a spot to leave it at. Right now I'm looking at Hidden Beaches and The Cove. Does anyone have any idea on what the community is like at those two spots? I'm a little leery about leaving my boat and 550 there since I'm only going to be there 2-3 weekends per month.

Thanks for the insight.

Also, it's a 1971 trailer and I'm not sure if either of these spots has a rule about how new a trailer has to be.

Jet Pumps / Motor shut off at full throttle

« on: September 02, 2014, 03:26:35 AM »

Okay, so my problem right now is if I'm holding it open running ~4800-4900 rpms it will stay clean and strong for 5-6 seconds and then either backfire or if I keep holding it, just shut down completely. To restart it, I have to primer it (manual fuel pump) with a few pumps and then it'll fire right back up. I was thinking the fuel pump could be going out because of the shut down, but would that also cause it to backfire?

Thanks.
