Well we stripped down my blower motors. One piston was lodged sideways in the block below. The piston cap had pulled away from the connecting rod. Bearings did not spin. Looked at the water pump and it barely turned. Belt for the water pump showed heavy wear.

I did not change my impeller this year like I normally do. What an expensive mistake.

Intake valves looked great, Exhaust valves we pitted pretty badly on both engines.

pistons. Other six looked good.

sorry to hear about that, hurts the pocket book for sure, hope you have your boat running again soon

Yep, been there bajalion! I hate to see that stuff.

High performance boating...oh what a wicked web we weave...

Email the pics to me. I cant open them.

The good news is it wasnt an engine failure so the build was solid. I still have worries about those pistons since I am using the same ones.
