312 Y Block Winterizing/Draining

Carb rebuild went well, starts and runs, hoping to water test today, see how it goes.

As you can see he's had to get a different ride to blend in- so far so good. The rest is just icing on the cake. Notice how this setup protects the rear of the boat against tree damage, quite ingenious. 

How about a picture on that new trailer?

1,817 days have passed, hope is starting to fade :), see what is in the mail later today.

Trying to keep up, is Pete mailing me a Protec duralast used condensing rotor cap from China that is not original??

You'd better check this link out Pete. I suspect you have touched more of them than your neighboring state's senator touched butts

Or he'll never admit that he'd use it anyways Well Ken, now that you have once again worked me over bringing up the Sierra kit, I dug it out and took a closer look at it. Talk about forgetfulness, the parts in the kit are used so, I DID use the kit!!

Gotta keep old minds active Pete, I'm just doing my part.

I'm not sure about you though, first we find out you have an electronic ignition module in the Tique and now you've used Sierra ignition parts in the Dunphy.at some point in time

What kind of secrets are you hiding in the Atom?

LOL, I just searched that one out this am to make a list of ignition parts needed that have not arrived in the mail yet :) and did see the oil filter recommendation, good to see our information database is consistent and expanding, literally!!

LOL, if 5.19" is good, 7" got to be better! All it needs is a few floor modifications.

Let us know how that 1515 works out. You may want to pick up a Sawzall while you're at NAPA.

I figure your 1068 is the shorter version of something but it's not the shorter version of a 1521.

The 1521 is 3.78 inches long

Your 1068 is 4.33 inches long

A 1515 is 5.19 inches long so you would have the shorter version of that.

So Pete, yours is longer than Riley's

You should have Hollywood remove the pump and replace the impellers while he's down there..

We use a NAPA Gold 1521 oil filter.

Last time I visited Uncle Wally ( couple of hours ago) I checked out the 15w40 stuff and good ole' Supertech 15w40 still has the CJ-4 rating and plenty of zinc (And cheap but good $ 9.88 a gallon)

The latest Rotella T-4 15w40 still has plenty of zinc too, but some people just can't get past the lack of a gas engine rating like SM or SN. Others can and still use it

Click on Shell Rotella T4 Triple Protection tested on 3/30/17. That's the CK-4 rated stuff

They update it as they test stuff so you have to pay attention to dates and ratings.
