    We found out I broke the cam. This is what I found when I took off the intake.

    Looks like that will take a little more than a skilled welder Sorry to see the damage is so severe. Were you under hard throttle ?

    Hmmmmm, cams usually don't break themselves.... :idea:
    Might want to get that pan off.

    I gotta agree with Malcolm. Only time I ever had a cam break, it was struck by a rod bearing cap trying to find a way outside. Cam's are HARD....... so hard they are more than just a little bit brittle, but they won't normally just snap themeslves.

    I third that, you will probably find 1-2 rod went skyward finding your cam in the way.
    Hard luck this early in the boating season.

    No #5 bearing ..... Yep, THAT'd break one in short order. Dammmmm. I'd be serriously pissed too, Especially 2 in a row.
