I have not posted here for a while since upgrading my interior.

I've always had this little "ticking sound" in my engine and never seemed to get the power I thought it should have. Turns out I'm running on 7 cylinders! LOL

So off come the heads to do a valve job and correct some other issues.

The cheapo gaskets used during the "restoration" were a mess and really tough to get off.

It's a real learning experience for me. And I thought boats were a big hole in the ocean you throw money into!

Just another sample of what I'm dealing with.

No pics but just to update. The motor is put back together and is running great. I'm taking it easy for a couple hundred miles ( Maybe a little less;) )before I get on it.

If all you did was head work then you shouldn't need much of a break in. We would like some pics, looks like you had a nice paint job going on the engine.

Looking good. Get my motor back in a week. What paint did you use on it?
