Hi I'm new to being a jet boat owner but grew up around boats and jet skis. I got a 86 banher with a 454 that was rebuilt but not sure if they did a good rebuild do to I have a vibration and its not getting enough oil in the valve train area here's some pics.

Sand blasted my exhaust tips do to they were nasty looking

Thanks. Do u guys know what's the difference between a sfi flexplate and a non sfi flexplate cus I need to buys a new flexplate and would like some info before I buy one.

[carlitos]

Thanks for the info. As far as I know the engine just has a cam in it so I'll just go with an oe

Have fun with it. Don't run that pump dry otherwise your project will include a pump rebuild also.....:-)

[jetjunky101]

x2 ! some say not 2 run at all without pump unhooked  atleast hook a waterhose to it 

[carlitos]

Thanks for the info will make sure to run it with the water hose hooked up

Got the new flexplate in just have to install it maybe next weekend I'll doit
 
Painted it to try and keep it from rusting

What's a good way to drain the oil with turning it into a mission. The drain plug is right next to the flexplate and I can bearly touch it with my fingers.

[carlitos]

Trying to avoid pulling it out but looks like I mite have to do that. Thanks

[carlitos]

The main issue is I can't get to the drain plug so mite just pull it and drain it, or just support the back end of the engine and take the mount off to acces it

And when you do, get a fumoto valve with a nipple to replace your oil drain plug so you can run a 3/8" hose out your hull drain and drain oil with ease next time.

Thanks for the replays I ended up pulling it out and changing the oil. Went to lows got 1/4 90* fitting it was like $6 and tapped the oil pan screwed it in so next time I won't have to pull the engine out to change the oil here's some pics

They look like they are custom Bassett. The guy I got them from said they were Bassett but didn't see a logo on them. Here's some specs on them they are 2" primaries to a 5" collectors
