Post by: Outlawmayhem on February 25, 2016, 02:34:13 PM: What motor? When I pulled my logs off my 460 the gaskets were just standard exhaust gaskets. Replaced them with the same ones. Got em at O'Reilly auto parts.

Post by: TooSober on February 25, 2016, 02:36:31 PM: stock 454 Hardin motor. that would be awesome! I am getting new exhaust but want to go play this weekend. When I took these off it seemed like the gasket was almost like silicone.

Depending on what time your leaving, and how close you're to Anaheim. This could work.

Title: Re: Motor parts.....long shot....now motor issue
Post by: TooSober on February 29, 2016, 10:41:41 AM: Ok now ran into some issues on the lake. Boat was a little sluggish right after launching. when I was headed back in the boat had almost no power. I could hardly get the boat to plane and I was WOT. What do you think the issue might be?

Post by: MerikaRogers on February 29, 2016, 10:53:53 AM: Notice any smoke out of exhaust?

Was RPM down? Oil pressure, water temp?
Title: Re: Motor parts.....long shot
Post by: TooSober on February 29, 2016, 10:55:25 AM: just normal smoke

Post by: MerikaRogers on February 29, 2016, 11:00:33 AM: Suck up a rope? Happened to me before.
Title: Re: Motor parts.....long shot
Post by: TooSober on February 29, 2016, 11:00:55 AM: RPM's were low. could tell you exactly how low. oil pressure was normal and the gauge for water temp was not working.

Normal smoke?
Title: Re: Motor parts.....long shot
Post by: TooSober on February 29, 2016, 11:04:29 AM: I will check for rope when I get home. I think that would be best case scenario right lol? should I drain the oil to check for water ect?

no smoke lol
Title: Re: Motor parts.....long shot
Post by: MerikaRogers on February 29, 2016, 12:04:29 PM: Don't need to drain oil to check water. Just pull dip stick. Milkshake is bad.rope would be beat case. Maybe pull a plug or two and see if there fouled. Or maybe your carb is dumping in fuel. Maybe flooding. Just a few things to check
