Seems it burnt 2 exhaust valves. Motors back to the engine shop.

Do you think it might have been a fuel issue? I have heard a couple of guys had issues this year and they where blaming the fuel. Damm Ethenol, well anyways good luck!

What compression ratio do the engines have? Are the blown or naturally asperated? I hear lots of trouble with blown engines and fuel. High HP or 500"s?

Definetly fuel issue. Dont know to fatten it up or add fuel additive.
600's no blowers.

Nice , 600HP! 502"s or 540? Those must push that boat close to 80MPH? TG is a heavy hull though. They gonna be dynoed when done? Good luck, sounds like its gonna be a runner!:evilb:

540's. They were dynoed when done 2 seasons ago. Hopefully only valves this time.

Yea, hopefully. Charlie just bought a TG. It also has 600s in it. I was surprised that it was spinning 28P props. Does that sound right to you? What size do you run? I thought they were alittle big.

Here is a gas additive we use in our snowmobiles when we go to Canada.(you don't know what octane or how old the fuel is)http://mystarbrite.com/startron/

Our final posts of the 2009 boatin season.
 

Good thing 2009 is coming to an end because this thread is definately slowing down. This is what I think needs to happen on December 30, 2009. I think that everyone who has contributed to our "here we go again" thread should write a short summary of their feeling about the thread including good times , bad times ,funny sh!t, annoying people, new friends, ect . Things that came about BECAUSE of this thread. I know I have a few things to say to/about everyone ending 2009 and starting a new boating season in 2010. I think 2010 is going to be crazy!, but Ill talk about that in my summary. Then we have December 31 so everyone can respond to others comments. After that, we start the new year with a new thread, and all new crazy sh1T. Anyone have anything to add to this idea or thinks it should be changed, speak up. Just writing this , I have about 10 things Im going to recap about! Also, we need to think of a good name for the new thread for 2010 cause its going to be there for 1 year!


PS. Rockin Rodney is not allowed to post. He is not part of this thread and nobody cares what he has to say anyway!!!!!!!!!:eek:

Kev
Good idea but I am not sure if anybody is even reading now...it is winter!
I think we need a top ten list of pics, lines, etc. I think anyone posting should come up with a name for the new thread.
