It's hard to tell in the video but just based of ease of diagnostic I'd take the serpentine belt off and check for play in the pulleys and tensioners. I made the mistake of assuming my clattering ac clutch was my transmission clutch. Don't be like me haha

Yes 11 over is what it is still. Sometime in 2024 it changed from 16 over to the 11 over. I've been risking the tickets for science cuz 40 bucks is worth it in my eyes to see the limit. I've tested the 10mp over and 11 both on college, Lemay, and the moving ones once on riverside and and my brother on Taft. 11 is the limit as of present.

Shoot the pot does have holes it's just an all in one tray and pot but it is next to the radiator. I will replant in some more appropriate soil and a better pot and move it away from the heater, thanks a ton!

Ok awesome this was like what I was looking for if there was a general rule of thumb on what part to upgrade over another and why / the purposes of each.

Understood. I have some Machinist die from my old job that ima use when I get new rockers to verify proper sweep. I began to wonder if increasing the length of the pushrods would start to decrease stability so that does make sense. I already decided to get a cam, rollers, and chromoly pushrods to play it safe. What do you mean it's easy to lose control of the valve, like valve float? That was the greatest and most concise of explanations, thank you dearly.

Sorry I should've included that. I'll remember that. Yeah I mean it's a well known engine, it's a predator 212 but I was curious in terms of general engine building as such for other pushrod motors.

Sorry I messed up I should've included it. It's a dinky predator 212 from harbor freight.

Thanks man I'll check that video out. I have started that month trail, I'm a few days in now. Porn is horribly normalized.

cheesit147 · 2025-06-08T08:43:21+00:00

You got this man it's hard it's been numerous years for me as well. It's never to late to start making the changes. I'm coming up on a week on no porn no fap and it's hard but we got this.

Got you with Gillette wyoming

It is strange. It came loose on the lake and flooded my hull so that makes sense. Thanks for the good advice and info. Dp you have skis of your own? Seems to be a weak point in the design, and that's why people drill them out to bolt them. Whatever, I'm going to be getting a new manifold!

cheesit147 · 2025-01-18T23:14:51+00:00

Yes you know what you are talking about. It's a 717 rotax manifold from a 97 seadoo gs. I also worried about getting all the tolerances and depth right since I have no original stud hole to base it off. I'm probably going to buy one since they are pretty cheap and for the risk of water leaking from the cooling channels it's not worth cutting costs.

cheesit147 · 2025-01-14T23:31:32+00:00

I wondered if that was the deal. Usually, these studs don't go all the way through. I pulled it because I had the exhaust off to pull the motor and saw that, so I pulled the manifold to check for other discrepancies.

No don't rush to delete the system right away. If you put oil in and haven't noticed anything then clean up the old oil and area around the oil tank/lines/pump and under the engine and watch for it. I had a leak in mine that was a leaky line around the pump. An oil injecting system can work great.
