Nice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope they run as good as that little nascar motor. Had it checked out at the end of the season. The shop I took it to thought it was a new engine. It's back in waiting for spring.

They look wide, will the centerline remain the same?
I remember the boat. It sat on the indoor rack and was seldom used. How many hours did it have when your purchased it?

Wildman_grafix 01-03-2013 04:14 PM

I drained the oil and it looked good, no metal. So it was put back on. I picked up a backup last year. I figured the motor would be hard on the drive. I use my head, nice and easy on the throttle.

you were right headers hit. cmi took the inners back to there shop and bent them in a form of some sort . now have 1/4 inch clearance between headers , woosh . dodged that bullet thank god .. what a nightmare this project has been . one thing after another , frickken twins . my single 598 I did was a piece of cake .

Back4More 05-19-2013 03:50 AM
