So yesterday I went out it lake Martinez in Yuma After some tuning and rejetting the carbs. I came out of the no wake zone and headed north towards the sand bar. I eased up on the throttle and it sounded pretty good with no problems. I got a little excited floored it and after about 2 seconds it's backfired real bad and killed the motor.. I quickly looked for a hole in the motor but everything looked normal.. I got towed to the nearest sand bar and started troubleshooting. I found there was back and forth play on the rotor. After pulling distributer I found 3 and a half teeth broke off the distributer gear. Today I pulled the timing cover to make sure there was no damage to the timing chain and that the bolts in the cam were still tight. I also checked the lash in a my rockers to make sure I didn't have a bent push rod or valve. I'm pretty sure it was run if way to lean and had too much timing. I jetted the carbs up 5 sizes to 73 on the primary and up 2 sizes to 78 on the secondaries. I had the timing locked at 32 degrees and backed it off to 28 degrees and still locked out. I took it back out today to make sure everything was ok.. I took it real easy for a while to make sure I don't Granade the motor. Then we made a couple WOT passes and monitored everything real close. The boat ran solid 80 mph with 2 people in the boat and 84 and some change with only myself in the boat.. Not bad for a small block in a 21 foot boat..
