Take him for a ride then you'll prolly start hearing the same thing from his crib.

Go buy the man a nice bottle of wine  .................. My asshole neighbor would have called SWAT, the IRS, The local newspaper, other neighbors and the mayor....LOL.

I gave such great retired neighbors, lol. They don't mind the Fugly boats beside the house, the (Now) empty trailer in the front yard, or me firing up the Moo at odd hours. Usually after I do that, the next day they come over to see what I did that absolutely needed testing at 2 AM! (Usually nothing, just someone that never heard something like this run  while we were having a pool party or something, lol).

Saw you cruising up El Toro Rd this morning. Looks like the boat is all back together. Did you get a chance to take it out this last weekend? Looks pretty good

I think we've all been there at one point or another. Keep a chin up, get back at it, usually you'll find a host of little gremlins you might have missed. Milkshaked the Moo her inaugural run as well (Also damn near sank it due to one missed hose clamp I didn't tighten). Cleaned her up, fixed the hose, fixed the leaky water outlet cover and water pump cover, was back in the water in about 3 hours.

The burning oil, well, that's not a good sign, but not unfixable either. Losing oil pressure could very well be directly related to the milkshake, as could the burning oil, but yeah, the engines prolly gonna need to come out and apart for a good going through. (Could also just be a head gasket(s)). Still not such a bad thing, nor that long. Look at Crewcheif, he got his BBC done in a few weeks, and is doing it again due to unforseen circumstance! (And I have no doubt it's prolly near done right now!)

was getting gas at parker oil and saw your rig across the street next to eddie marine i think, dont give up man its a cool lookin boat and im kinda partial to the colors

Thanks for all the encouraging words. I'm hoping its a head or intake gasket and nothing got hurt. I have an extra set of head gaskets. I have the marine head gaskets now, but anything wrong with running the cheapy Fel-Pro blue ones?

   Unless you are running in the salt water, i havent had any problems with the good ole fel-pro gaskets. Just my .02

Thanks for the compliment. We stayed at the Bridge Inn right there. I'm not crazy about the colors either.
