I would check the lifter bore clearance in the block just to make make sure it wasn't to tight. The other engine would be getting inspected as well if it was mine.
Sucks to hear, best of luck with it. |

I am thinking since this was for exh. side, the intake poulled air in and it had nowhere to go, lifting head enough to let water into cylinder... gonna pull engine and go over everything... so guess I am don't for the season....I thionk I may upgrade to linked retrofit lifters now...still am not sure why it happened but maybe just bad luck... everything else checks out.. |
Pulled head, looks ok there, I gonna pull the valve and make sure guide is not gumming up, had that once before.... but never with bronze but I am checking everything...may have just been bad luck!

So you're saying I can have my props back?
|
Sure... lol never did get to try them!! in my garage...
|
It's cool, just hang onto them for now. If you don't use them let me know, I might sell them. Don't think I can use them anyways, will for sure hit the limiter is my guess with the engines going in my boat.
|
