Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
This might sound like a short cut that is crazy,but has anyone tried to pull the head on a 470 with the intake and exhaust still attached?Not sure if I want to break those gasket seals or want to deal with a snapped exhaust bolt.
I had the same thought after I pulled my head a couple of years ago. I don't see any reason why you could not do it that way aside from being heavier and more difficult to handle.
Thanks Terry.I am thinking of going that way with the help of my son on the other side to lift off and reinstall.If the valves look good and and head appears straight it should'nt be a problem.I am hoping when I pull it the problem with the oil in antifreeze tank and milky oil in the sump is evident.I see you are running almost the same boat with the same motor and outdrive. Can you give me an idea if it has been a good vessel for ya?Anything else to look for overall?Just bought. Also thanks for the parts supplier you listed on another post
