Good for you 89S, someone knowledgable to look, touch and listen will be great. You know not to hold your breath, and I know I've not had good to say about this project from day 1, but I am just being as honest as possible brah. But nevertheless, I'd love to be all kinds of wrong and hope he comes back with good news.

:think: did ya not read the whole thread before posting? It's running like a dream now :think:

HR, I got her back and she runs better then ever. He knew what to do to get her tuned in. Running smooth as silk and strong. Hopefully she will hold together for a while, time will tell. Now I got to start catching up on some fishing. :waytogo:

I am so excited I am shaking, it runs like a brand new motor. He said there were 3 intake valves too tight, the new wires I bought were no good and were shorting out on the exhaust manifolds, and he changed the heat range of the plugs and put a high quality heat resistant set of wires on it. Also said the distributor was off one tooth and it was throwing off a sensor so he fixed that and reset the timing. I just got back from a test drive, and I still am soaking it in. What a weight off my shoulders. I can’t wait to hook the boat up to this bitch tonight…..
