Response to Looking good Mark |
| I would love to bench run it but there are a few issues with that
1. exhaust manifolds are on the boat awful heavy to get them down from 10 ft in the air.
2. no cooling sytem without exhaust manifolds
3. oil from pan is held in by transmission being bolted up to motor
I am open to ideas on this such as the oil isnt such a big issue I think I could put a piece of cardboard there to keep it from splashing out no pressure in the pan. The exhaust manifolds kind of bother me if I just had something to bolt up there it might be ok. The cooling system is made to work with the manifolds inplace I am sure I could reroute the water but would have to look long and hard at that. So my current plan is to fire them on land in the boat with no belt on the raw water pump to make sure thay fire then put the boat in the water. It will be broken in with a few simple rules no exceeding 2000 rpm for more than 30 seconds during ring seat varying of rpms on a regular basis and so on and so forth. I have a schedule from Lee Dahlen as to break in that I will follow. But like I said I am open to ideas on how to bench fire.
