Motors Done finally
When looking close at the problem cylinder it had 1 scratch that would have been an issue - so pulled it apart and bored all .15 over, lower crank bearing since the seals were worn, new after market reeds ( CCMS), new oil pump and gear just for kicks, it fired up about the 4th revelution - found a burned up recifier, it has 2 and boy it sure charges better too. Got my hour of off plane done and popped it up for a minute or 2 then it was home. Heading out tomorrow to put some more time on it - 10 hrs before WOT - the new Stilleto seems much better, I think its a bow lifter somewhat and appeared so - I need that with the big ol'fat hound dog up there (120) and the T Top and 3 batteries. Mentioned to the guy its much quiter, he responce was you can't hear all the pistons rattling around anymore - I thought that was cute. So far so good. The guy Chris Fuhr was very good, does HP work and has a nice shop at his house with all the goodies - he was VERY reasonable and let Mike at American Marine get all the parts for me =$$. That was a very good combo and depending shipping costs?? might be worth it, just an FYI. Total I got out for was under 2K, just for reference, which I thought was outstanding. Took a bit longer as the Offshore Racing shop that bored it took some extra time off during the holidays, which had me kinda cranky but I think it was worth it I guess, once we got the block and parts Teus motor was running Friday.
