Re: Oh..oh...what's that noise...
OK guys this is what I'm doing:
Bore 0.030" over
Replace ECU
work the heads, oversize inconel exhaust valves and SS intake valves
Hydraulic roller cam
New crane hardware on the head, rockers, springs etc
Aeromotive fuel pump and pressure regulator
Should equal 500hp
X 2 = much pain to my wallet . I'll keep you all posted as we rebuild.
Indy, it was truly a pleasure speaking with you today. I look forward to staying n touch.
By the way, do you guys know the rating on a Bravo 1?

It was nice talking to you too Mike! I just had dinner with Diane (wife) and she said if I had to put big $$ into our engines I'll be sleeping on them LOL

Baja, We need pics of that 38PP, Does it have a bow rail? I have seen pics of what I think is every 38, except there is a pic on the website of one with a bow rail and I have never figured out which one has it, and this #VI boat is the only one I can figure it is on since I have never seen a full boat shot. Hope that made sense! Darren
Also who rigged the 38?

baja27,I was leaving on thursday with a friend in his 42 Fountain, but it has leaking fuel tanks at 100hrs and Fountain probably wont have it fixed like they said they would. Imagine that. We will probably boat up from Key West in the Powerplay and meet everyone at Sunshine Key instead. My cell # is 410-562-9572. I'll post any changes, But call me and will meet in the Keys. Is the 388 your new boat? Donnie

Guys, here are some pictures from the damage to the engine. Note the molten metal on the piston. We can save the head by shaving it, it will also help the compression a little. The blocks have already been cleaned up and bored.
I'll post more as the rebuilding begins. The Team at Derebery has been awesome to deal with.
