Funny you got a picture of a blonde hair blue eyed teenage girl. You're too old for that chit John

Schit son! Your the one on the computer at midnight in Miami.....I'd have a Mojito in one hand, a Cuban in the other, and that blonde on my lap if I was there

Hey John and Phil , i will be out sat. am maybe the inn or the goose. of course to run with you guys you will have to leave a bread crumb trail that i can follow... have a great holiday you guys. John i did pm you back catch up with you soon . jeff

blowing oil all over the valve covers eh?? Do a leakdown ASAP. Do you have a spring on your dipstick? Mine was pushing out the dipstick and pushing some oil out after the rebuild until i put the spring back on it, I know it was just windage though because zero oil is on the valve covers and I am just running regular breathers.

It appears that when "they" build an engine they use very large ring gaps, which results in high blowby. There is no reason to do this, because it does not make power, it is not conducive to engine life, and it is just generally a pain in the ass. I was getting ALOT more than that, and it got progressively worse. Mine was so bad that the 6" breather extensions on it had fuel cell foam in them to catch oil. Well when that got clogged up in two hours it started pushing out the valve cover gaskets, and pushed out around teh BOTTOM of the breather, which has a positive O Ring seal. Dont buy into the BS that it is just crank windage. You have a 509ci right?? Shouldnt have any significant windage at all. You definitely need to change the oil often, because with the blowby you are getting it will get saturated with fuel very often.

Good luck man. Like I said, I will never use that builder, nor will I recommend them.

1030 sounds good on Sunday. I leave on Wednesday morning, and only for two weeks, then i get to be back home, PAID, for another month before my next hitch.

What boat? I will probably put in at the goose on Sunday for the lunch run, put in at Delaware City on Saturday and run to Lloyds.

We can set the cruise at whatever is necessary. John and I usually cruise at low to mid 50's.

had a nice night last night. Put in at Elk Neck and ran to Lloyds, slept on the boat there, nice and cool in the low 60's at night, then spend most of the day there today. Boat ran great and didnt miss a beat.

Couple pics from 4th of July lunch run

couple more

It was a good run for sure. Little bumpy on the way back, but that is what makes it fun right??
