I did fiberglass to retab my gas tanks and I just needed to make it through the season because after this season I'm going to get ImCo tanks I know it's not right but I used two layers of 17 04 08 mat and three layers of finishing cloth on top of that so hopefully it holds

Those rockers have been known to loose rollers. Just keep an eye on them. Run your valves often and make it a habit. I run valves every day on both boats

Adjusting your valves. After running for a wile. The rockers can get a tad loose. Especially because you don't have a stud girdle.

The trunions on those are smaller than say the golds.
I had the original magnum roller rockers with the rebuildable trunions and they were huge compared to other economical rocker arms.
I believe Comps Cams updated the Magnums and/or they are putting the Jegs logo on the old ones now.
Even just looking at some side by side, the Jegs rocker arms are head and shoulders above most.

Okay so she ran good today I just need to close the water inlet on my pump down a little bit more because my operating temp was like only 160 ish at idle but I would drop way down to like 130 128 or so when I got on it had a little leak just had to tighten up one of my an fittings that was it. and tighten up the nuts on the pump where you're packing seal are so it was just a drip cause when I first put it in the water it was a stream. The wind picked up so I only idled around n make to quick passes only to about 4000 rpm because water was sooo rough . she didn't seem very fast though idk need some glass or the river to try on
