FIRST DRIVE OF A CLASSIC LS-SWAPPED JET BOAT!
Рет қаралды 429,670
3 жыл бұрынIn Episode 152 of Finnegan's Garage, Mike Finnegan and David Newbern finally get the 1976 Rogers Bonneville TR fiberglass jet boat on the water. The last piece of the puzzle was to change a car oil pan for a marine-specific pan made by Dooley Enterprises.
The guys found it at shop.socaljetboats.com
Since the Rogers has a built 384ci LS engine with an aftermarket stroker crankshaft, the oil pump pickup that came with the Dooley pan had to be modified and the guys had to install a remote oil filter mounting system because the 10-quart capacity, full-length sump pan had no provision for a factory oil filter location. After a few more mods the pan went on and the boat hit the water for the first time in a long time. Shout out to Kevin Smith at KSR Performance for dropping by to lend a hand and for sticking around to watch the boat run during a rainstorm! lol

I,m sending a bbc burnt piston from the blower motor also..newburn you have the excitement I had every time I put a new motor in her. I'll say again. I'm glad you guys saved this boat.

Im not gonna bash the pan company, but issues like that are why I became a fabricator and do everything I can myself...Way too many times Ive had to fight with parts that are "bolt on".the downside is now people come to me to fix stuff haha..Theres no excuse for parts to leave the manufacturer with flanges being that far out of whack...
@tony66au 3 жыл бұрын
It's just plain old lack of Quality control, even a grinder jockey like me knows that when you weld stuff it warps and that oil fitting block was going to be trouble no matter what. Very much a Buzz it up and send it out kinda thing youd expect from nasty chinese parts but not from the USA.
@mikeh.753 2 жыл бұрын
I know, too many performance parts say "Bolt on" but they damn sure ain't.i have a friend who ordered a fiberglass hood and of coarse it said bolt on and it did bolt on but the actual fit was horrendous, like the corners were 2 and 3 inches high or low. And fitting a fiberglass body panel is no simple job. . So in my mind bolts on means you are going to have to make it fit after you " bolt it on" .

Helped a guy fix his jet boat on a lake camping trip (carbs)On the last day he took my friend and I for a ride. After a fast bumpy ride we entered the no wake zone. He lost steering.He looked back at me and said grab the vise grips and clamp the steering cable for me! I’ll never ride in one again. Nice seeing this one built correctly 👍

@finnegan'sGarage next time try lapping the bottom of the oil pan AFTER you bend it back. Use 3M spray glue on the back of 4 pieces of sandpaper and glue it down to a flat table. Then smear a little Kerosene on it and rub the oil pan in a figure 8 pattern until you get a fresh clean pattern across the whole mounting surface. Never leak again.

If you wanna get around filling in oil checking for oilpan leaks just put a good bright led flashlight in the pan, leave off the gasket and screw it shot - dimm the shop lights and look where the light breaks through. Anything off will show up pretty easy and everything without any oil clean up afterwards. Give it try - Regards Smarty
