Wow, WHY? burningm Not really sure. Oil pump didn't look that bad. #6 was one of the bearings I didn't check when I had it apart. Hard to say what happened. I'm going to finish the teardown tomorrow and pull the crank out of another motor that I know is good. Then off to the machine shop.

Rats,
They always seem to run the best right before something lets go. & your boat was running strong at CFW.
Hope you get it back together without to much hassle.

Morg. It was running real good. The changes made a big difference. Just wish I would have paid more attention to the bottom end. Guess it will be taken care of now.

Mike, What happen to the spare 440 you have? Its just not the same going from an hp motor to a stock wagon motor.
I do have it but its newer and is externally balanced so the flywheel I have won't work. Plus on a leak down 1 cyl has quite a bit. It runs and doesn't miss but don't want to pull the motor again this year.

Don't blame ya. Summers here and its no time to be without a boat. Hey I talked to cousin Erin and he said he got most of the bugs out of the galaxie. He is fighting the carbs right now. Starts and runs fine cold but when hot rpm flucuates(sp. I told him it sound like he has it to rich. It shouldn't start and run smooth cold.
