1. OE style rocker arms 250-400 per engine
2. push rods 150-200 per engine 3. valve springs 200-400 per engine #4 which you should of done IMO is lifters 400-600 per engine BTW push rods are in the heads. there the long round skinny things that make the valves go up and down......:sport009: |
Wait a min, you have 560 hours on these engines and had pushrods, rocker arms and valve springs replaced? No lifters, no valve job, no head gaskets?
And you’re planning to repower next season? You wasted your money this year. |
Getting rid of waterlogged wood drops a lot of weight off the boat. That alone could give you the rpm gain. Also putting in new valve springs can increase performance if the old were truly fatigued and allowing valve float.
As long as the compression is good on all cylinders I don't see why one would think he wasted his money. Those short blocks should be good for double what he has on them. Especially with 20hr oil & filter changes. And it certainly doesn't sound like he abuses them. |

another 300 bucks for a valve job while the heads were off would of been money well spent,

Might not splash it tomorrow, I had a small crack on one if the headers that created a small leak and a replacement was ordered from the US. And apparently being overnighted to Montreal. If it lands here tomorrow, then No problem since he left the damaged one off making it a quick repair……just more frikkin money…..and time 🙄
