Who here actually HAS a boat? Raise your hand please....(even sail-boters....)
 
I am always amazed at the preponderance of off-topic post here! One can
only conclude that the people that are most often guilty of that (YOU know
who you are!) are "armchair" boaters, pathetic fat slobs with no lifes and
ugly wives that have never spent a minute on the water....lol!
I mean look at the posting history of the prime transgressors....these
****ers LIVE at their keyboards! Immersed in their CRT illuminated
faux-world, they dream of what the rest of us DO, although these pussies
would actually be terrified of open water. Hell, they are probably
terrified of BATH WATER!
Pathetic really is the only word to describe these....'men' (rolls eyes).

I take showers.

I have boats. Contact me if you're in the 'hood between about April to
mid-November and we'll go for a ride, or, if the weather sucks, a look-see.

But I agree with part of your post...some of the most offensive folk
here haven't a boat. Most of them are in my bozo bin and interestingly,
since they found their way in there, the number of their posts here has
decreased.

Bajaman-

You know we have a Baja (down to just one for the present).....
and I know Buck has a really nice Scarab.
As for website that supposedly shows off the boats of rec.boats
posters....the funniest thing there is the imaginary boat of Hairy's. I
think there might be a couple other imaginary boats in there, too.

Every thinking person in this group knows full well who the dreamers are.

i dont own a boat but i am a boat mechanic. my expierience is mainly
in yamaha/volvo and mercruiser petrol inboards. i have some limited
diesel expierience for both of the above also. ignore the political
posters and ask away.

Cool! I'm rebuilding the 454 in my Sea Ray and man what a job. My
question is, what is the most I can take of the cylinders and still
use stock pistons? Some water go into 3 cylinders last year and left
some pitting. After a lot of honing most of it is gone, but I thing
some machining will be necessary. I can post some pics if it helps.
Thanks.

I have three, and have submitted photos of two of them several times. So
it's not a foolproof method.

Posting a pic of a boat on that site is nowhere near proof that the
submitter owns a boat.

It is also rather interesting to note that the number of boats
that should safely be seen more than 100 yards from the coast
can be numbered in single digits.
And the owners of those seldom post here.

I wasn't talking about a picture of the boat. I was referring to the
actual cylinder. Something like this

You got a photo of John Herring's cylinder head?

Frank: you can have the cylinders bored out by a good engine rebuild
shop. They'll determine how much - 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 thousandths of
an inch - based on the depth of the rust pits. They'll also advise you
on the limits required to keep using the stock pistons.

Ideally, you don't want to increase bore diameter more than necessary.
I've gone 20 thou over with stock pistons. Any more and you risk
increased piston slap; it happens when the pistons rock from side to
side during travel. When this occurs, the piston skirts experience
more shock and can start fracturing over time.

However, if the honing has pretty much removed the pits and there's
little more than a surface stain left... and you can't really feel a
change in surface smoothness when you drag a fingernail over it... you
can assemble the engine with a new set of rings on the stock pistons
and it will run just fine. Be sure, though, to put an old ring in each
bore and measure the end gap with feeler guages at the top, middle and
bottom of the cylinder. This will give you an idea of what the run-out
is. If it's only a few of thousandths of an inch, you'll be fine. If
it's like 10 thou or more, you should bore to get them all uniform.

You can buy new ring sets that have enough 'meat' on them for
hand-fitting. You slip the rings into the bores, find the smallest
diameter in the travel path, file the end gaps until you get them just
right. There are specs to keep in mind (usually come in the box) - you
want enough gap so they have room to expand when heated up yet not too
much to pass oil and allow blow-by (compression leakage). You also
want to stagger your ring gaps so that they are at opposites to each
other - i.e. the second ring gap is 180 degrees opposite to the top
ring gap, and on down. If you line them all up (as some guys have
done), you get max blow-by and oil consumption.

For those of you who wonder... I am new to this group, a retired
mechanic with 35 years' experience, and own a great 24' Doral Tara
running a 4.3L Chev V-6 thru an Alpha One Merc outdrive.

use a piston and push a ring down into the bore. measure the gap and
compare to spec.
im guessing if you "honed" pitting out of the bore you are going to
need to oversize.

Frank September 22nd 04 12:36 PM

Dougie,
Thanks for your thorough reply; I feel like I have a handle on it now.
I have a Mercruiser manual with all the specs and will be sure to
follow them closely. Luckily, my neighbor was an accomplished
machinist (he's passed on now but his wife kept everything) so I have
access to the right tools. Thanks again.
