A little help please on 500efi heads
The machine shop took the studs out that are on the outside of the heads that hold brackets and pulleys i guess, dont know were the right location is for them to go back in, i have the Merc book on the 500efi but it dont show or say anything about it...any help on this would be great...thanks Joe oh by the way i got 6 studs and 2 motors so I'm assuming 3 for each motor....but you know what say about assuming anything...

You can go to mercruiserparts.com and pull up the engine. Look at the starter/alternator mounting, p/s component, and fuel pump sections and it will show you generally where the studs go through. You may then have to grab the brackets to help locate them.

Hey Got on your Mystique, I also need the distance from the top of the headers to the top of the lip that the hatch sits on...dustin at whipple said the whipples are no higher than the CMI pipes....wrong, again that word ass/u/me, is going to bite me in the a**.....the whipples are 2 5/8" higher than the headers at there highest point....so I'm hoping we have at least 3" from the highest point on the header to the top of the lip that that the hatch sits on.....
