If you have a GEN V 502 it is not a roller cam engine. Easiest way to w/o tearing into it is by looking at the timing cover. Mark IV and Gen V have a steel timing cover. Gen VI roller cam engines have a cast aluminum cover with only 6 bolts. Non of the Mag engines from Mercury have roller rockers.

1 boatnut I use 830 Holley vacume secondarys. The dyno sheet said the jets were 82/82. A little soot on transom but the plug color is perfect. I dont know what year the blocks are but they are Gen V. Mine has flat tappets but I have heard that some of the later blocks are machined the accept GM roller drivetrain but I have never personally seen one.

Guys,again thanks for all the info. I am really getting a good feeling for this project. ANY more info would sure be apreciated. It is great to see all the different opinions and experiances everyone has posted.
P.S -Mark,I am not letting Dennis get away with anything. Believe me he will PAY! I figure if I spend a little dollars,this will upset him enough to get a crowbar out and pry open his wallet. He will either spend twice as much as me or buy a new bot, Both of which will make me the WINNER!!!!! Say hi to Patti,and hope to see you guys on the water soon.

I hear ya Paul, There is a secret mission ther I'm sure.
Dennis I don't have the motors back yet they are probably 3 to 4 weeks out yet. They are waiting on some parts and need to do some machine work on the blocks. Been working on buffing and waxing and cleaning the bilge and stuff like that. So once the motors are back I should have them in the boat in a couple days.
Thanks for the offer of help I'll let you know.
Say hi to the girls and see ya all soon.
