Hi,

The rocker covers are the same ones he ran with in the boat in the States, Have videos of the engines running and many photos of them in and out of the boat before we agreed the sale. Catch cans may be an option. Our fuel is 95 octane, some places 97/98. Which I believe is higher than USA standard pump fuel. When you refer to being "rattled" are you referring to detonation? No I don't believe so. Timing is set at 13° base with 34° total, which I believe is correct with 21° stop bushing in the MSD. Engines run sweet right upto 5600rpm which is the furthest I've pushed them and knowing that the props are too small.

Could you bypass the coolers with a short section of hose as proof of concept? You could keep an eye on oil temp to see if it gets to 200°+ and burns off the moisture.
