Freeze too!
Heat and cold work best. You want to expand and contract. What I found worked great was MAPP torch and canned air. Just hold the can upside down and liquid gas comes out very cold. Heat the head at...

Phew!
We're okay. It does seem that all of that blow-by was caused by the timing. I'm amazed, but when Ed explained the pre-TDC detonation it made a lot of sense. The piston still compressing while the gas...

Lots o' blow-by
2 years after a rebuild I finally rechecked the valve clearances this Spring because I had noticed a bit of blow-by developing at the end of last season. They were all at spec. Commissioned the boat...

Good Fix
Thanks, Marthur, for suggesting the aluminum repair. I looked into it and found Alumiweld from Harbor Freight. It comes in a rod that is melted with heat. I'll cover the whole procedure for others...

3 Years!
The answer to how long the JB Weld repair will last is three years. Replacing the distributor cap this year and there was nothing left of the threads. I removed the distributor and will use Don's...
