Got the motor about 90% done tonight.
Had some clearance issues on the windage tray that I am glad I found before putting it all back together. Did not even think about the longer stroke and the connecting rods were just about hitting it so I spaced it down with a couple washers and all is well again! I guess I am over thinking a lot of this motor but in this case, I am glad I went back and double checked everything.


I am already getting a list together for this winter upgrades

Also who here HATES changing the oil? I know its a pain in the ass and I addressed it on this motor. With a 1/4"npt tap, I retapped the drain plug and installed a 1/4 turn valve and hose barb. This way, I can install a 3/8" piece of hose on it, run it out the drain plug hole and into a can. 10X better than pumping it out through the dipstick!

Hopefully 1 day before Mike gets his in the water I have spent all my beer money on boat parts!!

The motor is getting closer


Every bolt is now stainless. I should be able to finish in less than an hour but still need a couple more upgrades. Plus I am trying to setup a water to oil cooler for the engine oil as well. I am also upgrading lots of parts for cosmetics or weight savings as well. I need to get all my AN fittings and hoses ordered for the fuel delivery and oil system tonight and by the end of the week order the headers

What did you just say
Yep I got the zinc additive sitting here in my mess of parts.

I am going to have to call about the alt I bought from DB electrical. The positive stud is free spinning and I can't get the ring terminal unbolted. I believe there is a warrenttee on it still, might have to upgrade to a prettier one while I am at it

Hey Brian sorry ( a little) about the guacamole crack. Justin said he wants to paint his boat the same color so I showed him yours, he said cool that's the color I want.

Not sure, I don't want to scare off them superboats. They might wet the garage floor if they hear it running
