Fever575

I would like to here some input on the 575sci, I just bought a 2002 29 with one in it. And I hear a lot good and some bad (like the head gaskets).
It had been rebuilt by valley motor sports in Eagan MN(???) for the above reason with about 220 HRs on it (now has 243)
I have the receipts on what was done. I what to Know what should have been done to remedy the issue if there is one.
Also what else?

Hopefully they used Felpro or Cometic gaskets. If the blower has not been rebuilt it needs it NOW!!! Mine seized-up @ 205hrs...if you dont get it done it will cost you. The blower shop can do it or DMPE...which will be cheaper.

Thanks for the info, just asking what went out in your blower to cause it to seize up? What can I expect to pay for service on it?
On the gaskets is that the issue with them weak oem gaskets?

The bearings and seals in the blowers are the weak link. Also make sure the head gaskets are Felpro or Cometic as JRider said.(I like Cometic). Blower definitely should have been done at rebuild. DMPE recently did mine.

There is a ton of good info on here. Just do a search on 575sci. Great motor, you'll like it....even in a Fountain
