The race footage was top notch!
Congrats on the win Mike.
We run QE in SDBA. We run dry block
I always have JB on hand as well as duct tape and zip ties.
Any time you get over 70 miles an hour on water it fills like your flying ! Looks like a blast.
Damn thats a sexy boat
can we call it boatkill????
Do they not make a blow off valve for coolant? Sees over 16psi and it just barfs the excess out a separate hose
your boat is sick JB WELD FOR THE WIN!!!
I watched a video on those new Toroidal Props. Not yet for the power levels your putting out, but I can't wait to see what the prop efficiencies do for your time slips.
I’m willing to bet that’s why they sold this boat in the first place, I bet they tried everything to fix it but the oil still turned into a milkshake after every run
Knowing spending more than my whole car is worth on cylinder heads doesn’t mean they are gonna be any good angers me.
What are your thoughts about installing Sharrow toroidal propeller on the boat and, are they legal on a drag boat?
Where does that bad ass boat live ? For sure you don't tow it back and forth to GA.
Once upon a time I bought a plum crazy 70 challenger R/T with a cracked 340 block for 100$ I fixed with JB weld and drove it for years.
I jb welded a torched groove in the block of my uncles truck. Filed it nice and flat. It lasted about another year. This groove was from the combustion chamber to a water galley so I was surprised it made it that long. He needed the truck to haul while I tire down and rebuilt the entire drivetrain of his regular truck that had 300,000 thousand miles was clattering and lost third gear. So fir 7 bucks and a head gasket set he got another year on his backup rig.
That looks like the most fun you can have with your clothes on!
I saw you posted on Facebook lookin for obs Chevy crew cab what project are you planning on that for?
Warning a new scamer is floating around has the same name with a number 4 added to it
Funny story…..I worked maintenance most my life. Another guy on the crews name was JB. Second shift came in and ask me about a repair, I said yeah JB welded it. He went to the plant manager and told him we JBwelded the die stand offs. Big mis understanding.
awesome production!
I had the same issue with a tko500 case leaking. Coated the inside in jb, totally fixed it.
Friends riding mower cracked the crankcase, he used a torch to burn off the oil residue, a bunch of brake cleaner to make sure it was clean, then JB Weld and clamps for 24 hours. He ran that mower another 4 years like that!
That was friggin awesome…
i would think you could peen that shut
I'm celebrating a $30k stock portfolio today. I started this journey with $4k have invested on time and also with the right tearn now I have time for my family and the life ahead of me
JB weld is amazing shit. I have fixed damn near everything with it. Chainsaw cases, bumper covers, even snowmobile hoods, literally everything
Cool video! Looks very professional with amazing footage.
