Default Engine refresh

Not a problem on the engines,ran great on the hose sounded great,real crisp as Brian would say but could not take a load and dropped the valve. Brian Sieler who has been helping me in finishing up the boat has a friend down the road with a 2,000 sq ft shop that we all would die for is working on the heads and the starboard engine.Should have everything back in a week.Attached is a photo on the engines before we pulled the heads. Bud
