    Do you have any idea of how it is cammed? I ask knowing that you probably do not, because whatever was done was done before you bought it.

    (Note: I am not a mechanic or engine expert. But after years of being around boats and having several repowers and a few custom engines, I have picked up a couple of things.)
    This is a cool animation of regular vs. performance cam and when the valves are open.

    My intent is not to freak you out or spend your money. It is possible that the exhaust was done and the cams were never touched. It just seems reasonable to raise the issue.
    Very reasonable and probably a mandatory concern. As John Teague said in his post, we need four jacked elbows made that will dump the water after 6 inches past the elbow.
    Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!

    I wonder if he could modify Gils by attaching to them with behind the point that they mix with a tube that would route to his euro through hulls?
