Last summer one of the engines that I got with top gun wiped out a bearing, bought a buddy’s boat and dropped in 572’s finished season no issues... 12 years on build lower hours I decided to take them apart to shortblocks, do heads and all new gaskets and paint with done small touch ups

cleaned up heads and flowed them, new valve job and springs, added super suckers and matched to intakes, new timing chains, that’s about it besides all new gaskets, powedercoated oil pans and valve covers, also intakes. Didn’t touch shortblocks as things look fine there

going to update tabs to newer style so I had them also powedercoated, fix water holding tank, few other small things and clean boat..

hoping for a coupe seasons of fun with no issues

Nice job! Man, I wish I could accomplish only half of it this year.
Dumb question: What are you holding in the last photo?

Ram for the TABS

cylinder for new style k planes can’t Powdercoat that.. painting today

Also doing new fuel system lines and bigger fittings, new (Used) sea strainers and way to hook up hose to them so I don’t have the valves sticking up

thanks, that’s what I was thinking

Nice food pics too!😁

Nice new Great Lakes strainers. Much better than the Brass ones... at least by looks. btw, cute kid

what about your original engines? i understand you are freshing up the 572's right?

sold the ones that came with boat, one broke... I bought my buddy’s flat deck for the 572’s and kept boating test of season lol only lost 4 days changing things !!
