A while back i wanted to report back on the results . of the progress. I did use the wisco pistons .Inspite of the warnings. I have been out testing my engine . it goes like a bandit . so far .. I did this inspite of the warnings .
1150 1974 115 hp .. well it was my rebuild right so I did it. I took my time rebored the engine found a great shop that did it right . told them about the pistons i intended to use . "that blind hole booring " i went .030 oversized . I started from the top of the engine took my time . and worked it down all the way down to the propeller had to pick out old waterpump rubber fragments jammed in the intake of the lower end . every bearing every seal every gasket .costing @ 1500.00 or less in parts that i needed with out doing electronics 'which are expensive i had good things there to work with. "tashadaddy, clams.texmark ,and others kept me going . I am happy to say that after all the the things i weatered trough . my stuff runs and working like it should . bam that motor fires up at the dock like a new one. so far . i used an infrared temp reader on the engine i shot it back there in the couling on top it likes 135 degrees . on a 90 degree day . water temp 78 .also found a bearing in the distribitor getting hot using this tool real hot mean hot 400 deg it was shot I missed that . i replaced it . two days ago .. after replaced it runs equal to engine temp. that can melt plastic . 440 degrees . the stator up there gets the temp going too . i will need to look at that next but it stays under 250 so far ..good night all
