Dude that boat rocks. Have you considered ARP stainless head bolts. I have them on my engine but i don't have nearly the power you do. Not sure if that would be a consideration or not.

stainless and aluminum do not mix well. even with anti-seeze it can become nasty. don't know why just the nature of the beast.....been there done that :messedup:
Now I have been known to poke a carbon steel bolt in some cardboard and hit it with some rattle can paint. makes for a pretty clean appearance. although with the quality of hardware cyclone has he would probably just have them powdercoated or something cheap like that.....lol :idea: :supp:

True, i knew that but forgot when i spoke.
I got a question and no flaming is intended here. why is it with all that polished and blingtastic glitter on your engine did you use uncoated carbon steel bolts for the blower? If nothing else painting the heads on them would clean it up....I personally ran alot of stainless on my boat but then I am not bolting into aluminum either :2purples:
I think it would really clean up the look of your engine if you hit them bolts with some rattle can paint (aluminum color)......like I said just an observation and no offense intended.

Omega, I would give him the most shit you can about those bolts... I do! They really look like crap, and I make a point to let Cyclone know that when ever I see him :supp: I know's he's going to fix them... I just like giving him shit about them...
Hey Cyclone, nice photos!
HBjet
cyclone.......you should be ashamed to call your self the editor of ***boat with a backwards ass rigged up looking shitbox of an engine like that. Hell even my lawnmower bolts aren't rusted like that. Worst of all....you go posting pics all over the internet like showing off pics of your fat girlfriend.......sheesh what the hell is this world coming to??????
