Well
How much can I learn from just pulling the valve covers? Not much other than rockers and maybe measure lift and duration. What else can I do shy of tearing it down? I really didnt want to pull the engine. Hey email me at [email protected] with a pic and a price for the covers. Thanks! Ray

Corsa 26
The motor was built for and already run in the boat I bought. Boat was built to run a Fort Meyers race once a year. Basically a P5 boat. Supposed to be dyno'd at 600+ HP. Suppose to be setup to run mid 70's. It was traded in to a boat dealer and I bought it from them. Motor was done by Rogers engine works in Naples Fl. I spoke to them and they said it was a 9.5 to 1 motor. The engine shop put me in touch with the original owner. There are a lot of questions that he just cant answer. Now im not a total newbe to this stuff. The last several boats I ran were outboard tunnel. This car motor stuff is new to me. When I saw the boat I just had to have it. Im sure in time I will figure all this stuff out. Ray

If it has all ready been running the way it is set up, then leave it alone. I was under the impression that you bought some random engine and stuck it in the boat. Fill it up full of premium and go for it. That will be a fun boat. Mine is set up similar to yours and is a blast. Can't wait to have it in the water again after the restoration.
