Have always ran the AC Delco R43T plugs. Now Autozone says they are unavailable now. They have a R43TS that has an extended tip (the post and electrode stick out about 1/16" further than the R43T) The rest of the plug is identical in geometry/dimensions. I'm running a small dome 10:1 piston...

I have my motor out for some winter upgrades and it looks like I am getting some reversion? I installed my cam 2 degrees advanced but would like to retard it as I am not running 11:1 compression and would like a little more rpm on the top end. I have Imco powerflow exhaust and have been told...

Good day my fellow BOAT enthusiasts..... I recently started hearing a different sound coming from the left side exhaust while cruising. As my valve cover gaskets where leaking a little, I thought, no better time than to adjust the valves, right, glad I did!! With engine at idle, I began my...

I took my 1988 Formula 206LS out for the first time this weekend (the only time before I have to winterize). The boat has a carbureted mercury 350 Magnum. Everything ran great in the beginning but eventually I was unable to shift into neutral. The control was very difficult to move and would...

Carb issue solved - C&J Engineering September 17, 2015 Hello People Another master piece from C & J Engineering. My 1998 Howard 19 footer has been grounded for several years. I decided to run the engine to circulate the oil and heat it up to dry out the moisture, to my surprise...

Waste of time, not worth the irritation for me to be straight forward with my issue. I do appreciate those that tried to give me honest advice.

So after a day torturing my Blower motor I noticed it just a bit low on oil pressure.. I cut a filter apart and found bearing material.. Then I pulled the pan and found bigger chunks.. Motor didnt knock or spin any bearings but the crank will need a polish and a new set of rod/main bearings...

So when I go to turn boat off after cruising for a while it diesels for a few seconds before it finally turns off. I thought it was a carb issue so I rebuilt the carb and it still does it. Im not sure where to go from here. Its a newly built 455 .30 over it has maybe 10 hrs on it. It runs great...

Hey y'all, helping out my parents neighbor by installing his recently purchased hydraulic place diverter onto his boat for him so he has an excuse to put his boat on the water this summer for the first time in 13 years. When I installed my place diverter last year my reverse cable attached...

Is there an issue with using one of those GM Trans Spacer and a standard cast iron nose starters? I had to grind some of the nose of the starter just to get the bolts started. I think it put pressure in the starter and it chewed up the bushing and housing itself in just two outings.

New to the jet boat world but I have been bitten. I have a BBC with logs running through the transom. I bought the boat and the last owner said it took a long time for the boat to warm up after you get it into the lake. It does take awhile, but it does warm up to about 150 degrees. I was on...

I have a Mach 1 v drive and I put all new bushings in strut, wip strut and stuffer bushing. I have a water cooled ca sale that dumps into the stuffer. Every time I put in water and run out from marina it spins the stuffer bushing with the shaft and rips my fittings off. Once it does it then I...
