Alright guys, finally got that biatch out today!, after a nice little 'free beer morning' at Joe Jost's (hey, i needed some fuel lol) A friend and I did it in my storage in hawaiian gardens, and it actually went quite smoothly, unhooked everything, and rolled the boat out, and pulled my truck under it and tied her up real nice and off we went!...I also took the boat home w/ me today to take some pics of both...here they are:

Is that pump one of the new JI pumps?

hey, i doubt it, its a 4-year old aggressor...thing runs sweet tho!...its in perfect condition, im planning on cleaning the bilge out maybe tomarrow x mas day cuz i cant wait lol...
-
just an idea....you might want to check, double check, triple check, etc to make sure the jackoffs who stole your shit didnt drop anything (nuts, bolts, etc) into the motor.
anyways...looks good....keep at it...get it back on the water pronto ;)

merry xmas to you too!...ill put a couple real good ones up tomarrow when i take some pics w/ my brand new digi cam lol...
Reid

What's your plan?
whats up dude? the plan is to finish the motor after what was stolen...intake on up, put back in, enjoy for a couple more years, then i dont know after that...i just figured it would be MUCH EASIER to complete the motor when its out of the boat, rather than ruin the gelcoat w/ getting in and out of the thing many times, plus, this gives me an oppurtunity to do a lil pump work ;) like drill all 4 holes through and install a new loader grate...anyone know how to do this? or is it pretty straight forward? drill thru and install long enough bolts/nuts then grind off the excess for the oil pan right? i sure hope it will be that easy...let me know! thanx,
REID

You shouldn't have to drill through unless the old bolts won't come out or the heads are broken. I'd keep the standard threads or re-tap larger if you have to, then double nut on the interior side. Grind off excess bolt length or get lucky and buy the right size... stainless of course.

nice, yeah theres only 3 holding it in right now, cuz i stripped one last year getting it off to take the piece of GRANITE out of the impellar, and had to drill through the whole screw. so now i think i will have to drill through all four, and get the right size and double nut...thanx for the advice bud!
Reid

alright guys, im resurrecting this 'not so old' bitch of a thread, and am going to actually document some progress!...just bought all the new gaskets for the installation of my offy tunnelram next week... after that, then its on to carb-shopping...ill let you all know what happenes...pics to come soon.
Reid

Right on. You're one of the few with a complete Aggressor... I'm kinda surprised you landed one 4 years ago. Dave was real limited back then.

eh, it wasnt me, it was the previous owner but yeah its perfect still! i bought the boat almost 3 years back...i figured the aggressor pump was quite common eh?

I went and picked my tunnelram up from embee today and i have to say it looks pretty badass...i need some help installing it tho...im gonna order the stainless bolt kit from offyparts.com tomarrow, i have the gaskets, anything else i need? check it out...

also, there are these 'pills or beebees' stuck in some of the thread holes...how do i get those things out?
Reid
-
Possibly it was coated so the plugged the threads? Try poking at them with a screw driver

Thats my answer to everything. Poke at it with a screw driver!!!
-
well wouldnt it push them in more? is there another way? lol
-

Well was it coated at a powder shop? Because I was just guessing that's what they were
-
yeah embee in santa ana...but it was a wet ceramic coat, not a dry powder application like powdercoat.
-
Pull them out with needlenose then, they should hurt anything, most of the time they are just rubber
-
Or put a tap in there with a little oil, that will clean them perfectly
-
intake turned out very nice :)
-
The intake isnt on the engine is it? Just get something small enough to push them through. Maybe I'm missing something...

no, its not...and the threads dont go through all the way, so i cant push them through...ill try the other ways tho :)

That turned out very nice. Congrats

Got it now.... I wasn't fully understanding, by holes, I thought you meant all the way through :screwy:
Try some dentists tool if nothing else works.

alright, got the bottom half installed today after i got off of work early...i did a little spraypainting to touch some stuff up, then installed the gaskets and intake...whatcha think gentlemen?

Prospect-
If you do it local to you, I'll come and help you, if you want to do it here, I've got a cherry picker in my garage. You tell me what you where to be.
-
this sunday is easter, I gotta do family stuff ...so maybe next sunday the 30th. it should be quick and easy since its the same mounts and everything...no holes to drill or screwing with motor placement.
-
Next Sunday works for me too, I have the following Monday off so if it went late it wouldn't bother me. Keep me posted Prospect.
