    Broken Spindle?

    maybe you should do some preventative maintenance....... its much cheaper than repairs

    Is this the aluminum head 470.

    since it appears that your existing boat does not have a motor, you would be better off with a V6 or V8 vs the 470

    Why I hate EFI and hyper-complex fuel systems the carbon canister decided to rupture and plug the fuel well up. with a full tank, I resorted to using a primer bulb to siphon/pump a whole tank of fuel those are carbon pellets

    What´s the best replacement for AQ271C (or 570) 5.7 GM engine, ideally stroker?

    wrong style heat exchanger. you need a shell and tube heat exchanger. what you have shown is ok if you have filtered water with filtered oil. however would plug up in a week on a boat.

    someone added the flapper from a mercruiser...... throw it away, it doesnt belong on your 271C, its not needed on the AQ series

    Pontoon on blocks

    to get pontoons on blocks, one needs a scissor trailer. in the fall and the spring, a scissor trailer literally will print money. My bud puts in and takes out many boats on his lake with his trailer (along with docks and boat lifts). that is $100 each trip for a pontoon.

    Valve lash adjustment on Mercruiser 470

    you must follow the factory manual. setting valve lash on the stock ford head is exactly like setting valve lash on the early ford FE motors. with custom length push rods. the other option is to modify the head for adjustable rockers once you bend a push rod, its junk, it will re-bend

    you wont get anyone on this site to advocate to over-power not carrying insurance is reckless and stupid. The insurance isnt for you, its for the other folks involved in an incident so you dont loose everything .

    gelcoat question

    there are two ways to make gel coat shiny...... use the duratec gloss additive when you spray - it will shine like paint, however have orange peel start with 400 grit, work your way up to 1200 grit, then use aquabuff 2000 and then 3M finesse it. (this is how 90% of gel is made shiny)
