Linster,
Are you the mechanic that did the rebuilds on Jima97's Flame. I have been talking with him, and I spoke to John at Unlimited about it. Sounds like a real nice boat for a 2001. I guess the drives have not been freshened. What would you recommend where they are concerned? Thanks

I have a HP500 EFI in my Rage. It lost a head gasket @ 300hrs, though mine is Whipple charged. I suspect it didn't have much left in it anyway. I had to go through the whole thing. (bore, pistons, cam, heads, valves, rockers etc.) The rockers have a tendancy to ride the valve everywhere but the stem. I spent $14K because of water damage. Play it safe & have the top end done @ 300hrs. The bottom end should be fine & the tops can be done without removing motors. Spend a little to save alot.
