Well, after setting the engine, breaking in the cam, and other small bugs, the BIG glitch reared its head!!!! After cam break in, I shut it down for about 1/2 hour, started it up again and there was this god awful knocking! Thought for sure it was a spun rod bearing or something. Plucked the engine back out, and upon taking the bellhousing, coupler, and flywheel off, noticed that the flywheel bolt seemed a little on the loose side. Looking at the bolts, a few of them looked stretched like they were over torqued at one point. I torqued them to spec, but being stretched, they came loose. So got new flywheel bolts, red locktighted them and torqued em!!!! Put it back in and finally got to water test it on Sunday. Just in time to winterize it!!!! I had to get it on the water! Couldn't have gone all winter without at least floating it one time..... Video to follow if I can figure out how to upload it.
