You would probably end up with the same problem Tony.<br />You need to find the cause of the problem and stop throwing parts at it.<br />Did you ever check the fuel system Like This ? I know you used a remote tank, but what if it had an air leak in the hose or the hose diameter was too small, or ________?<br />Dead cylinder moving around???? Plug wire? spark plug? Just swap the wire to the other side and try it. The do the same with the plug. I know you don't have a KV meter, so eliminate it by moving the parts likely to cause the problem.<br />Did you ever check your distributor shaft to see if the bushings were worn out. After reinstalling the distributor, it may be located different than before causing the miss to move. The rotor could also touch the sensor in the distributor.<br />Have you done a simple compression test on this engine since you put the new heads on it?The more I think about it the more I wish I would have installed a new engine.......now if I wanted to I could put a short block in from Rapido marine for ~1500 including shipping!
Read the link I gave you. It has nothing to do with fuel pump pressure. I's the system "BEFORE" the pump. And like I said, a problem with your remote tank could cause the same exact problem. Reread this again..<br /> http://forums.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=24;t=015221 <br /><br />I checked the fuel pressure and even replaced the fuel pump.
Believe it or not, New things are sometimes bad, don't ASSUME they are good, check them, or move them to a different cylinder and see if the problem changes place.<br /><br />Replaced spark plug wires and the plugs are new for the new heads.
They are inside the distributor shaft. Yes you need to remove the distributor. Then move the rotor and gear end back and forth in all directions. They usually are only worn in one direction, so check all directions to make sure.<br /><br />Tell me more about the distributor shaft bushings. Where are they located? Do I need to remove the distributor to check them?
Since your compression was 140 to 170 before you pulled the engine, and it's now 180 to 200 and the problem is exactly the same, I think you can safely rule out cylinder leakage as a problem.<br /><br />PS: and don't be offended, but do you know how to use the outdrive trim? You aren't trying to run with the drive all they way down are you?Checked the compression after the heads were installed.......180-200 (if I remember correctly).
Ya THINK?????So maybe what I am seeing in neutral isn't related to what I am seeing under load.
