No Kelleys this year?

we smoked a drive in Lake Effect last Friday, a week after getting it in... he was out all summer!!

tried for 3 digit MPH, broke at 90...

Nope not this year...Been pretty busy racing OSS/ OPA in our SVL 27' Activator canopy boat. Don't know if you knew that or not. Heading out to LOTO on Thursday for the race this weekend. BTW been running 90 all summer long in my 353! Still dialing in the set-up. MIght be a couple left in her!

Dave

Cool.. dial her in! you know theres more!

we went 97 last year, he made a few changes,mainly ditching mufflers.. hit 94 with ease the first week out with no trim, saw a lean condition, then found that the intercooler was leaking water into engine..got a new one and on the first good pass the Imco upper let loose!



Sorry Dave (SCARAB3DMC) I highjacked ya!!

GEN 6 blocks have 1/8 " pipe plugs in lifter gallery area,are you sure one didn't get left out? cold you would be ok but hot it would leak off enough,especially at idle to drop oil pressure to zero. Does it come up with rpm?,Smitty

You would not be OK without a galley plug at any rpm or hot/cold, that is alot of bleed off.

yes it increases with rpm

Good suggestion Smitty.That's a common mistake and it would cause what's happening.
