Re: Putting an engine back in a boat....

As a recent "first time boat motor puller" I'd have to agree it's not that bad. Couldn't agree more with mats though on the manual. I didn't have one but I was the one that pulled it in the first...

Re: what should i buy 1st

Don't mean to bust in on this thread, but I like Eceptor's advice. I'm just wondering about the same additions to my 502 EFI. I've already upgraded to a .550/.572 cam and .25 longer rods during a...

Re: HP gain vs MPH gain?

Whoops...my bad. I guess I slept through more math than I thought.

As far as the "fries with that" statement, I think I'll just refrain from responding.

Re: high pitch noise from my 525 efi???

I just got off the phone with Jim from Arizona Speed (the guy that programmed the ECU). Jim is thinking the throttle position senser needs to be adjusted. I asked him how to do this but he...

Re: techs/ mechanics what is your most used tool

GOODT...several months back I got your number but lost it. I'm looking for someone in the Annapolis area that works on go-fast boats. How can I get in touch with you?
Thanks, Dave

Re: high pitch noise from my 525 efi???

That's exactly correct. I had the ECM reprogrammed while the motor was being built. I never had this problem until the new motor was installed with the reprogrammed ECM. So you're thinking possibly a...

Re: high pitch noise from my 525 efi???

It's all based on a 454 mag setup. The new motor is a 502 but I used all the running gear from the 454 mag and had the ECU reprogrammed and the injectors checked by Arizona Speed to make sure they...

Re: high pitch noise from my 525 efi???

Re: high pitch noise from my 525 efi???

Dave, thanks for the response. Can you help me find/identify the ECM and IAC? This problem started after a rebuild so I suspected I might have re-connected something wrong, but it seems like all the...

Re: high pitch noise from my 525 efi???

While we're on the high idle topic, I have a similar (but different) problem. It's an EFI 454 mag...at startup it idles fine. As soon as you move the throttle it idles up to around 1500 and won't...

Re: Marine Lubrication

Not to get too off the topic, is anyone using a System 1 oil filter? My machinist talked me into getting one of these but System 1 recommends not using the factory relocater Mercruiser provides. Does...

Re: any ideas for mat'l to cover engine hatch?

I do believe it's an open cell. The "bubbles" or cells are very large. The way it was explained to me is that it is designed in such a way that water will run right through it. You're correct about...

Re: any ideas for mat'l to cover engine hatch?

I just had an upholstery shop re-do all my upholstery. I can't say where to get the vinyl, but I'd highly recomment two things:

1) if the plywood is still good (assuming there is plywood), treat...

Re: 425-450HP BBC for less than $5000?

$5000.00 doesn't sound that far fetched. I built a 502 last year (actually my machine shop did) for $6000.00. That included block, .025 longer Eagle rods, 572 hyd. roller cam/lifters, pistons, 1 of...

Re: Merc 5.7L 260 Problems. Now What? Advice Please

I had a '87 260 Merc that rotted out in an exhaust port (after I did a valve job). I know you don't want to hear it but I wouldn't use those heads again.

Re: AAAARRRGH!! Milkshake AGAIN!!!!!!!

Interesting...I've never heard of that trick. Are you guys sure that won't take away too much lubrication to the bearings? I've been there and it's definately a mess to clean!

Re: refresh 500 hps

Mike, I'm not disputing, but how can you get that kind of power with a hydraulic roller? I thought you could only go to around .570 lift with a hydraulic roller. Does this only apply to GM hydraulic...
