Thanks everyone,

Cuda, I take it the inlet is even with the bottom of the hull, right? I got the thru-transom type too.

Sorry, I forgot all about that part. It was a brass item ingested, I assume a wayward brass wing nut.

It found itself in #1 where it bent the intake valve, dinged up piston, and put a nasty crack...

Well,

Finally got the motor pulled and inspected. The verdict is new shortblock by way of ingested brass item. I am guessing it was a wingnut. Your guess is as good as mine how it got in there.

At this point I'd be tickled pink if it was just a cam.

A leaky exhaust can be hard to diagnose. I would replace your manifolds/risers. Depending on the age of them, they may be due anyway.
