All very true and well learned experience I found out all too well. The only reason to tear into those is if you have a desire to learn the hard way on how to rebuild engines which ends up turning into an expensive experience in bad machine shops and poor parts and mistakes. Once in a while...

Hmmm, an "offshore boat" that cant handle a cruiser wake? Or airplane boat? Maybe they should come to Lake Erie and decide if that boat is a good idea or not.

The Tech Forum Ive had real good luck getting help from sites like this.

I used the steel inserts with the rubber corners and it went in quite tight. hehe. Ive had a plastic insert in one of my props for 10 years and never hurt it but I am pushing a bit too much hp through that so bought the steel ones this time. Ive never had any luck with redone rubber...

Its not overlap, those numbers reflect lobe seperation angle. So, the intake and exhaust lobes are seperated by 110 degrees which makes them closer, or 114 which has them farther apart. Obviously, the closer they are, the greater the overlap. Overlap is measured at .005 valve opening and its...

And remember, reversion happens at Idle, the lower you idle the greater chance, so when checking be sure to set the idle rpm low enough to mimick what idle you will have when in gear. That will depend on the prop and the carb but I check mine at 700 just to be real safe. Ive never tried to do...

Be very careful about what you read, or for that matter listen to. And be very careful about any engine builder who would even use the term "radical" to describe a cam, especially when that cam is quite mild. Good Luck and hope it all works out for you.

That sounds like the cam. I would think 9 deg overlap is nothing. I run 75 degrees overlap. Im sure there are a bunch of people who have experience with that engine. I hope they set up those heads properly for a roller cam. Hmm, those timing numbers may be at .050 and if so that overlap...

And its the bottom row of numbers that determines overlap. They can also be listed as "timing events at .006" or some do it at .005 lift.

Darn 110 lobe seperation can be dangerous. 112 usually ok unless radical, 114 ok is most cases except extreme. You really need the cam card now to find out actual overlap. Just a quick adder Flat tappet cams can be solid or hydraulic Roller cams can be solid or hydraulic. The hydraulic...
