vinnimon Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 As a few of you know my boats been down for a bit!Thats all thats on my mind! So early this am I went fishing to settle my mind, and got this little gem!Back she went!That made my day knowing I was going to muck around with the boat, engine wise in the afternoon! I arrived home to a mess, so I opted for the boat work!LOL So I stripped the engine down a bit, took an hour!All the tools were on board!I recall telling thejay, if I had to rebuild on the water, it can be done!LOL Anyway heres the pics! If theres any boat techs here, I would love to hear your opinion on the cam gear wear(damage)! too high rpms,wrong prop? Here you go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Rusty cam..and more the the shaft to the right.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenfshrmn Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I'm not sure that we are seeing rust, I think it may just be the colour of the fibre cam sprocket. Did it come out that clean or have you wiped all the oil off it? I'm wondering if there's any motor oil reaching the gears. Check to make sure that there is nothing preventing the camshaft from turning (other than valve spring tension)before replacing everything. Good luck...Oh yeah, don't foget those timing marks too~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassjnkie Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I agree with green. Looks like a lack of oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnimon Posted October 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 No rust, internally!Both gears had plenty of oil on them!The cam gear is that colour(compsite fibre) to begin with. Cam shaft turns freely! I spoke to tech about this issue!Its more than likely, running the engine at too high of an rpm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBCregal Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 looks like it may be a balance problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
