So whats the problem(s) here...

[BigRedBryan]

You tell me...

 

[rivrrts429]

Geometry

 

[rrrr]

The missing intake manifold bolt at 5/7?

 

[monkeyswrench]

Why does #1's intake pedestal look different?

 

[blue wonder]

The rocker stand on #3 exhaust is broken???…pic is kinda blurry

 

[C-Ya]

Its missing the valve cover?

 

[TPC]

Aluminum Head Nightmare?

 

[LazyLavey]

your finger is blocking the problem

 

[Looking Glass]

A Walmart Hose Clamp!!

 

[Rayson1971]

Push rods too short and rubbing on the head?

 

[Your ad here]

First thing I see is the valve cover bolts have broken off and the top on looks drilled out to a smaller size.

 

[Dan Lorenze]

Missing a couple of bolts on the intake manifold?

 

[Dan Lorenze]

Pushrods?

 

[timstoy]

Valve stem seal pulled off valve guide, wrong seal or valve spring. Number one spark plug wire on number three header tube. Valve spring retainer hitting the bottom of the rocker arm. Pushrod geometry, pushrod length wrong. Broken and missing bolts. Small block rocker arms on big block heads? Pushrod hitting head opening? Hard to tell in photos.

 

[Kachina26]

Valve seal not seated?

 

[SBMech]

Hard to say from the pics as to why the stem seal popped off, the guide could be off center and the inner spring could have caught it? Never installed correctly? Without being there when you disassemble it to see who/what/why you can always post up pics again once you get to that point.

Geometry looks weird from the pics. Not going to go all OCD on the other things in the Waldo search lol.

Being that I don't see any markings on the heads, I am going with chinesium heads that will soon drop a valve seat. The castings look like them and the rough machine work.

Hose clamp

Hose clamp

And rubber hose with a seam.

 

[Orange Juice]

Exhaust Valve is cracked.

Pro Comp. Heard they flow good but assembly is garbage.

 

[timstoy]

Looks like cylinder number three intake retainer might be cracked. Hard to tell from the photos.

 

[guest hs]

Shaft rocker hitting the head bolt

 

[LHC Kirby]

You obviously need to try a different prop.

 

[Flying_Lavey]

I'm going to go with the intake valve spring one #1 is rubbing against the rocker shaft on exhaust of #2?

 

[rmarion]

snapped off bolt... on valve cover, bottom left

 

[rrrr]

With all of the problems spotted by alert RDP members, the shakeout is that the engine is just fucked up.

hard to tell for sure, but damned close.

 

[Backlash]

Regardless of what the problems are, it all looks expensive.

 

[Brokeboatin221]

I’d take look at the specs on theeeee aaaaaa inline rotary gurder……

 

[ChrisV]

Needs money. That's the problem.

 

[Boat 405]

Why is there no oil in there. Looks really dry?

 

[Rayson1971]

Rocker mounts look like the hitting the springs

 

[Brokeboatin221]

Push rods to short? Tell us!!!

 

[4Waters]

The distributor is in the back

 

[Kachina26]

Do you know how to keep an idiot in suspense?

 

[Mototrig]

From this view I can tell the steering box has too much play, the left front tire is over inflated, the panel gaps are more than a paint stick's thickness, the transmission is running hot and you have a taillight out.....

 

[Boat 405]

Its in a car. Not a boat

 

[Eliminator21vdrive]

 

[motormonkey]

well your "shaft" rockers for a start aren't tied together.

 

[rivermobster]

The distributor is in the back

 

[rivermobster]

wrong size springs diameter wise.. looks like they walked and pulled stem seal off. also pushrods look they are rubbing the head.

Maybe the used the too small valve springs so the retainers would clear?

Those are impressive and alert observations, but you didn't notice there aren't transom straps securing the boat to the trailer.

Dammit I always miss the obvious stuff

 

[brgrcru]

It’s a Chevy

that's what i was thinking too.

 

[rivermobster]

that's what i was thinking too.

You guys need to toss your apple phones and get a phone with a screen that works! There is plenty of oil everywhere. Its just super clean is all.

I'm pretty sure we all found more wrong than the OP noticed in the first place...

I'm curious as to what he has to say!

Hopefully we didn't rag on it too hard and scared him away LoL it was all in fun.

I think everyone is just pointing out what They see!

Nobody said...

So I'd say everyone has been pretty nice...
