I posted a few weeks ago about probably needing valve work on my heads. I believe I was overpropped, and overheated the exhaust valves. I never did a max rpm test with the boat loaded, only with one person and in smooth water. Typically we will be out fishing in 4 foot seas with four persons, which would be a much heavier load than on the smooth test runs I did.
After doing a compression test today, it became obvious that there is a problem. It was recommended here to use Inconel, and I am ready to do that. Manley has thier:
Will these fit the Vortec engine, and what about the .050" longer?
Also for the intake valves, what do iboaters recommend,? The engine is a stock 350 Mag MPI Horizon. Can I order the valves before pulling the heads, based on the specs? Thanks for everyone's help.
