They are pressed pins. The 2 that are a little stiff had rust in the cylinder and were hard to get out and causr the engine to lock up after sitting it would not crank. So I should replace the pins just to play it safe.

I am rebuilding the 454 in my jet boat and its bored out 30 over and does not have too many hours on the engine. I noticed when I took the pistons out on 3 of them when you move the rod on the bushing in the piston it feels a little stiff. Is this normal cause the others seem too move freely. Anyone have any thoughts or experiance with this?

I know from the years I worked at Sea Ray boats in Phoenix and with my own projects that the boat builders did not use HIN numbers till 73 and after.

« on: July 24, 2010, 09:48:37 pm »
Thanks everyone for the advice. I did see the comp marine cams and was thinking of the 280 marine and getting the whole kit. I am just wanting something mild over stock and new to the jet boat thing but always been an lover of them. I dont have but the one pic of the Horizon and will post more as it comes along. I know some might think Horizons are ugly but I love its classic look and there aint many around. Thanks for the welcome and looking forward to a long time here.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Which cam?
« on: July 23, 2010, 10:55:57 pm »
I am freshing up mostly stock 454, flat tops, not bored, holley 750 carb and aftermarket intake. I want a good cam for that cam sound at idle and good performance. any suggestions? I had a crane 268 in my small block Chevelle and thought it could be slighty more.
