did you ck the AFR's with a wideband on the boat ?looks like it ran lean as hell to me...that just happened to be the 1st cyl to say I'm out or here...
In the boat with my headers and my ignition box was the only differences my fuel pump also. 6.5 to 7 psi on the fuel pressure |
The headers were pressure checked and were fine I checked them again after the incident still no leaks.

Unfortunately, a dyno pull, may not show a part throttle lean spot in the carb.

you better put 02's in when you go back together, you might be surprised..I know I was on our setup...

Well finally went to check on my engine. Lifter stuck on the intake valve and the rest you can see. Checking their build sheets it appears the lifter bores were tight. So the human factor strikes again. The bores were measured and recorded and some how missed getting fixed.
The builder is stand up man and is taking care of it. We had a good discussion about oil. No more off the shelf street oil for me. It was a brand name synthetic. |
if it had a tight lifter bore no oil is going to fix it.
