OH-OHHH:mad: :mad: :mad: :( :(

No problemo Mr. Dynomometer :)

Well, my boat is just about done. Stellings extension boxes are bolted to the transom. New gimble bearings will be here on Monday. Engine mounts have been fitted, cut and installed. Engine hatch lift, new bilge pumps, oil coolers and some wiring need to be completed yet then engines will be ready to install. Engines are being moved 10 inches back---definately more engine pit room! Also, better center of gravity/angle of attack so I've been told----we'll see.

Sweet Mark!! Let us know when you are gonna do your shakedown run. Love to help out/play chase boat if possible.

Dyno, I feel for you man. Been there (recently), done that (also, recently!!!), stole the t-shirt (and got it really dirty :D )

yea Dan I washed out a set of bearings...looks like the water was coming from the front two intake bolts we thought they were blind holes.....not.... and didnt use any thread sealant......bad thought!!!!
well back to the drawing board!

Dyno, I was going to stop over but forgot. Are you going to be there tomorrow night? Have a lot of work to do lately. There's ALWAYS going to be bugs to kill.
So, did you hurt anything besides having the "washed out" bearings? Do you need to "turn" the crank? Hope you saved it in time bud.

looks like its just the bearings Mark....do you have a torque wrench I can borrow? Dave is up in Luddington...Crank looks acceptable ....one liitle scratch I can bearly hook my finger nail in.
