Headers
« on: May 23, 2013, 10:12:05 AM »
So I have these rewarder headers for my 455 olds, I'm now running snails will this give me better gas mileage by putting them on or just noisier I had them rechromed about 3 years ago they look badass all brand new what do u guys think. Or should I just wait till winter when I pull the motor to do some work on it.

its like putting mufflers on a car.  your mpg always goes down because you're always mashing on the go pedal because it sounds better.

you can put them on now but do you have the block off plates to cover up the holes?  logs and snails to headers should only take a couple hours to swap em and reroute the water lines...

I did not realize fuel economy and jet boats went hand and hand. Put the headers on and make some noise.

This guy has the transom plates and you can probably get them on the cheap. Same that I have, excellent quality.

So my Q is when I put these headers on what keeps the water from sucking into the exhaust valves then down into the oil so I get a milk shake I'm confused.

Never let off the throttle

Edit:

It has to do with the cam, if your cam specs are pretty close to stock you shouldn't have a problem but the man to ask would be glenn or "gt jets" here on the board


Edit: and he beat me before I posted my first edit

there is a valve on the water line that requires pressure to open... in a jet more RPM = more pressure.  you can also run a valve to manually open/close it.



you generally dont run the water on unless you're over 1500 rpms or so.   when you go over those rpms and the valve opens up, the hot water exiting your motor hits the hot exhaust, turns to steam and gets pushed out of the pipes.  you let off the gas, the water stops.  excess water gets sent to the other "dump" line and out the back of the boat.  pretty simple.
