Hey Bill is 1030 too early to meet you at the Boynton Ramp? Just to confirm. This is Sunday.

We'll be there. New carb going on boat today. Bringing the grill and some extra dogs and brats but feel free to bring your own. Don't know how many people will show up and wouldn't want to run out of food. Will be in the water about 9:30 with Rick and his Pantera. Will run up to Boynton and...

Mike's going with hit Sidewinder and we're coming with the AO!

Thanks CRT. I called Livorsi. It's an old Gill made by Hardin. Can't get parts anymore. I guess I'll have to fabricate the part I misplaced. I can do that!

Can anyone tell me what brand of sea strainer this is? I need to order some parts.

Thanks for all the great info. I may have gotten lucky this time but will do it better next time. If you want to go fast you're going to pay for it one way or another. No engine lasts forever. I want triple digits. As soon as I get the engine broken in I got to get my slip factor down. I'm at...

Hey Rogue. How do all the pro's build engines? do they mic the inside of the crank and then mic out on the rods?

Ok. Question for you engine guru's! Just re-built big block chevy. Main bearings plastigauged within specs. 40 lbs of oil pressure at idle. Wen I rev up t stays at 40psi. The plugs are in the lifter valley and behind the cam shaft. What else can I look at and check?

Don't know what's going on Rus. We'll be up there Friday morning about 10 AM.

I really want to get my engine back in. Got the pistons back in last night. Should have it running this weekend. You have time Saturday to shoot the transom and engine bay?

Rick. Your PM is full. I just booked for 2 nights. Kay and I are going up Friday morning. Pete and his girl are coming up early Saturday morning.

I saw those also. They are small rectangular ports. I need the large ones. For a 622ci tall deck.

Looking Good Rick! Got all my pistons in. Looking for heads. Might get lucky and someone have a used set.
