Re: more hp from 496 ho

You can get an honest 525hp still n/a with the Raylar kit...
Bob from Full Throttle built one and dyno'd it, and it was right there, as advertised...

Re: Mercruiser 260 help

First question:

Re: Hp500 Oil Temp

MiamiOS, you can dump the overflow anywhere.
I would not personally dump it into the exhaust, but you could.

My dump flows quite a bit, especially before the thermostat opens.

I would, if...

Re: Hp500 Oil Temp

I know what you mean, Vandeano.

Thar ain't much room for the hose!

Fortunately, I still had a 7.4mpi (my old motor) to scavenge from!
I used a hose that had some good bends to fit this,...

Re: Hp500 Oil Temp

Thanks, Vandeano...

I assume you mean the stainless piece going from the crossover to the P/S cooler? If so, that is from Jegs. It is a radiator hose for cars that comes with adapter rubber pieces...

Re: Eddie Marine

Whipple has apparently had a hard time delivering product.

Re: Milky oil, only after hard runs???

Perfectmix, are you running a thermostat?
If so, did you drill 3-4 3/16" holes in them for steam venting?
If so, are you running a pressure relief valve?

Re: steering problems?

Could be the gimbal, like these guys are saying.

Check for slop in the drive. Grab it and give it a shove. If there is slop, check the top of the gimbal. There is a u-bolt that might be loose. If...

Re: Oh great gurus of OSO ... Info on 1999 7.4L MPI 310HP Mrec black motors???

I would be more concerned with that many hours in salt on the rest of the system.

I had a 7.4mpi. Very reliable.

The biggest problems that I know and heard about from salt are the corrosion of...

When your torque wrench went clicka-clicka, what did you do to align the punch down washer thingies?

Re: Anyone know the belt size for my 500hp?

If you don't have the old belt, then just take a strong string or thin rope, set the adjustment for a little more than half way in, and wrap the string around the pulleys. Tie a knot and then see if...

Re: who sells raw water pressure releif valves

Hi Fred:
What bothers me is that the spec sheet you just posted shows an initial flow at just 7psi, and full flow at 35psi... 35 psi is far too high, and flowing at 7psi reduces volume at lower...
