The top ends are about due. The longer you wait, the more risk of a failure that could cause more severe damage.

Can someone explain why @ 3-400 hrs. these motors need rebuilding? Lets say that you drove the boat at WOT (5000rpms) for that 400 hrs that would still only be around 24,000 miles on a car. I have built a couple of hi-perf motors before, I just don't get the low hour rebuilds.

one word - load
boats put 10x the load on an engine than cars |

I did a set last year that had 450 hrs, and the thing
that was the most obvious was the head gaskets.....they were pretty much toast between the cylinders. |

New motor is running strong and back in the little Donzi to get me to the Reindeer Games later this season.... At least get a leak down and compression check on the motors as is...and have an experienced Merc or Motor Guy look them over... its worth it... Those are great motors in that boat...really wake it up compared to stock offering of that vintage... Good Luck Danny :angry-smiley-044: |
