    Vortec 906 & 062 valve stem o.d. ?

    you need to simply talk to your local machine shop. especially if they supply the short track guys. plenty of machine shops have vortec heads on the shelf ready to rock (already set up with roller rockers, screw in rocker studs, etc) for cheap as they had them ready for the racers. however as...

    Oil change could be easier...

    68 Cobia houseboat restoration/transom repair

    your total list of materials wont be known until you cut out the full extent of the rot. that is all the wood in the transom and the keel and stringers once that is out, I would start replacing the wood. laminate your wood with tite-bond III (water proof glue) to make your transom wood. bond...

    Can anyone help identify these gauges on my 2020 Sylvan Mirage 822

    I would call them. I would ask if you could email the pics of your dash and then ask to see if they can get you part numbers. they may give you part numbers and point you toward a dealer (such as Iboats) to make the transaction.

    Vortec 906 & 062 valve stem o.d. ?

    casting numbers are only part of the equation. they should be 0.341 or 0.343. the LS motors use 0.315 your heads could have been worked on prior. I would talk to your local machine shop. you need to cut the seal seats, and I would seriously upgrade to better seals and screw in rocker studs...

    1995 OMC 5.0L Electrical mishap

    If you had your drive off, I would say just fire it for a second or two or simply pull the impeller and fire it for a second or two. pulling the impeller on a cobra is much easier than on an Alpha or stringer
