Title: blown motor, nieghbor set the river on fire, lost my sandels, and had a blow out
Post by: jonnygarcia on August 14, 2012, 09:42:29 PM: so every thing was going good friday when we went out on our first boat ride, the oil pressure gauge was like hit and miss with presssure, (i thought the gauge wasnt working right...i guess it was lol) went from twin palms to up passed the sand bar and floated, then went down and had some drinks at the sand bar. then right when we left i noticed the valve cover breathers were smoking when i give it fulll throttle so i let off and was cruzzing at like 3 grand, looked down and had zero oil pressure, then a very loud clacking started and the motor shut off. motor was smoking for a good 10 min while we got towed back to the resort. then some guy set a flare gun off and burned down like 10 miles of brush on the az side hah anyways i took the valve cover off and noticed that one rocker on the right side was completely free moving, so i think that valve froze. think my oil pump went bad and caused all this???? pullin the motor this week. also hers some pics

Good luck with the tear down.
