    385HP 454 Rod Knocking

    Re: 385HP 454 Rod Knocking Some tmes you just have to go back to the basics and they have the answer. When the engine was replaced the mechanic put in the wrong plugs. They installed AC 41-803 instead of NGK BPR6FS or AC MR43T. From the pic (Port 41-803 and Starboard BPR6FS) we can easily...

    Re: Weird Thunderbolt V problem, driving me mad The file attached is how a 3 bank battery would be setup. You would only use one switch to combine the house and start batteries. If you keep it with 2-banks keep the Generator with the start batteries. If an isolator is used it would be run...
