it’s no secret that Detroit has recalled all their cylinder kids worldwide because of failures. I had my engine rebuilt and the rebuilder, much to my surprise, has figured that would solve the problem finding big pin kids by putting a small pin kit in my engine. In addition, he put in standard keys vs offset keys. Regarding the keys, I’ve heated offset in the front and standard in the gear train vs all offset.
The engine is not developing full horsepower so I’m left with two options. Repower the engine with A used take out and rebuild this engine when keys are avail or use the boat, as is, and run the boat on low idle until the kits are available. I’ve been told by the guy that rebuilt the engine that the small pins will work
TWO Questions:
1. Has anyone put small pin kids in these big horsepower engines to any success?
2. What keys do go in this engine with Advanced cam an advanced gear train and where do they go?
Several people have several different ideas, I could use a help, what do you think?
