I could shake the lifters and make pins fall out of 4 or 5 of them on the 500 hr motor

Just did 2 500 EFI for a customer. Lots of gremlins waiting for you if you dont do it right the first time. PM me for a build sheet if you like.

My buddy posted this for me. Please send me the build sheets I'm curious. You can email [email protected]. I was taken on this boat deal. Seller told me engines were refreshed a 150 hrs ago. Still have the factory wire ties on engines. Hooked scanner to engines, 510 hrs. I'm on a ticking bomb. So yes please send me build sheets.

Thank you,

Lou

I had my 500 EFIs rebuilt at 526 hours because I waited to long an burnt across the fire ring so it cost me extra for a new block and a new head. So with that your big issue is going to be injectors the Multecs are junk. (check my past posts). You have to replace Valves, rockers, lifters, pistons,rings, bearings,oil pumps etc. Inspect your crank and cam you might be ok. you can get everything that you need to do both motors at Summit all for about $6000. rebuild to stock, retune your computers to new Bosch injectors. Call Jason at MDG Performance in Edgewater Md. He can set you up with the injectors and a program. Mine are just getting to there first full year and it runs great.
