Mike, that's good news. Now go out and have some fun, but be careful. Watch those gauges and check the oil frequently. About that name, do you really want to take the chance.......

HONDO, was it the intake gaskets or what?? What did you end up using? I'm thinking of redoing mine just to be safe.

So what did you put in that thing. I will be rebuilding mine in the next couple of weeks. Im most likely going with Mondellos complete oiling system. It has the 8qt pan, oil restrictors for mains, oil restricted cam bearings and high volume oil pump. Lynn says that will take care of everything.

The main thing on the bottom end is a 10 qt dooley oil pan and hv pump and windage tray and pickup. And thats all on the bottom no restrictors, should not need any with that pan, and the boat will never see over 4500 to 5000 rpm anyway, rev limiter will make sure of that!!!!!
