    Stroker engine build

    the videos were with 18" long elbows. at about 750 RPM, there was enough vacuum during the overlap cycle to pull the water vapor back in. it filled the exhaust manifolds up with water, just idling on the crate. I went with side exit exhaust. since I could no-longer use the captains call...

    Stroker engine build

    then find a boat newer than 15 years old. I have slow speed video of the cam on my BBC pulling in water vapor from 12 feet behind the collector. I had to go with a custom H-pipe and water-jacketed exhaust in order to run my mufflers.
