[@pw383426]

Jimmy, a little advice on the water going to the headers. You're right, reversion is sucking water from the exhaust into the engine. You need to install a simple ball valve from a hardware store, and run cheap heater hose up to the valve by the driver seat. Once you're above 2500rpm, turn the valve on manually

[@AceEverett]

@@fast97z24 Look up "water injected headers" and you'll see the little pieces welded onto each pipe where you clamp on a hose. What it's supposed to do is continuously inject a very small amount of water, and the exhaust pressure turns it into a mist, constantly coating the inside of the headers to keep them cool. The only reason to do it is for chrome or painted headers, so they stay looking nicer for longer. Jackstand's problem is they are putting in too much water, which is draining into the cylinders causing worse performance, and as Cleetus noticed, slowly getting into the oil as well.

[@Hoaxer51]

@@AceEverett, thanks, that’s the best explanation I’ve heard about wet exhaust.

James you dont need to have the water! That's only in the exhaust exits through the boat but your hangs in the air over the edge so just leave the water off, that's why you're having issues with it because those headers arent suposed to have water in them they will flood the motor, water cooled headers have a hump an water sprays after the hump so it cant go Into the motor, please just unhook those water lines

[@earlbrown]

You're describing water jacketed headers, not water injected headers. He should have a spring loaded check valve in there that shuts off the water flow at idle. And only misting them under load. They never need to be fully opened to work correctly.

[@SwedesGarage]

Hey James, you don't need to run water through the headers. The reason they run water through exhaust manifold on marine engines are for cooler engine bay when the engine are in a enclosed compartment and less smoke out the back. Without the water cooling the stock exhaust manifolds it would be hot as hell in a boats engine bay, your headers are air cooled and way up above the boat. If you think the headers are going to be to hot running at high rpm, well the NASCAR run on full throttle for hours and don't need any water cooling the headers.

[@earlbrown]

You're not allowed to run injected headers in a closed engine bay. When there's an engine cover, you're required to run jacketed exhaust.

[@SwedesGarage]

@@earlbrown Did I say that? I sad exhaust manifold, not header.

[@Hemi24]

I was gonna say , those arent jacketed manifolds those are just headers .. you dont run water through headers ..

[@JamesDean-yo8wm]

just gonna start saying im not boat guy. im a car and off road guy. but i was wondering are we sure its just to cool the headers?? i dont see a radiator anywhere on that boat and i feel like its to also cool the motor as a whole. like with the few jet skis and boats ive worked on none had a sweet ass v8 powering them but the water always cooled the engine. but at the same time it kinda cooled the exhaust as well because thats where the now used hot water was dumped after it cycled through to cool the engine. pretty sure all that water is being cycled completely through the engine before being dumped into the headers cooling it all off as a whole. but like i said im a car guy i might be wrong feel free to tell me if i am.

[@earlbrown]

@@JamesDean-yo8wm the jet pump supplies the engine with cooling water then dumps it. The entire lake is the radiator. You have to put a valve on it to slow down the flow of water so it doesn't run too cool as speed. Injecting water into the headers is to keep them from getting too hot and potentially causing a fire. it also acts as a legal muffling device.

I'm not a boat guy at all, but I still like watching your boating vids. You still need a Navy PBR boat!!!!

[@Daveunruh]

Setting timing at 1400- if it’s got mechanical advance, you’re running a 700rpm timing of minus 4. That’s the reason why it’s all finicky. You should just hold it at 3k, and set all in at 34deg.

[@zxggwrt]

It has a vacuum advance diaphragm on his new dizzy but it's not connected to vac

[@Daveunruh]

@@zxggwrt it has nothing to do with overall timing. Actually, it doesn’t need vac. Advance in that setup. Cam’s too choppy.

I don't think these guys need any advice on tuning engines but thank you for the input

[@adamr9215]

@@Noneyurbusiness Apparently they do since James didn’t add any zinc to the oil. That is a straight up beginner mistake.

Happy to see George on the channel. He is hilarious. Where is his cousin Squirrel 🐿?

Raise hell and praise Dale we going boating

They are such a great fit! I love the James and George interactions! I think this crew will last for many many years! Y’all fit so well! Potato potato potato potato pow potato potato potato potato potato Pow.

Just turn the water off. Those headers are already beat, so no need to worry about getting them hot and ruining the pretty chrome that's not on them.

[@spaceemperorkarl121]

Really hope Jackstand keeps that boat. So awesome.

[@stoneshrink]

leave the water off to the stacks. The point of the water is to muffle the sound - if you don't need to muffle, you don't need the water... and that, folks, is the difference between wet stacks and dry stacks....

[@doccyclopz]

@Bills BuildAll Yeah, to keep the chrome looking pretty , but it really does lessen the noise. Since this one's not running Mirror like chrome you could run it with little or no water and probably up the HP a tad. IMHO

[@stoneshrink]

@Bills BuildAll it does, but it's purpose is sound deadening. Granted, the sound difference would be akin the difference between a 747 taking off and a F4 Phantom on full afterburner - but it really does make a difference.... that said, in this case, turn the water off to the manifolds.

[@stoneshrink]

@@doccyclopz 100% . the difference in temp is it will take .02 seconds to 1st degree burn with the water v. .01s without.

[@dartgts383]

I wondered why there was water going directly into the headers ... turn it off , not needed ... like James said ... it's not here for a long time , it's here for a good time ...

[@jean-pierretruelove4567]

Good Ole jackstand is getting better at filming and talkin. Loving it

[@jpiz224]

"It's not here for a long time It's here for a good time" Needs to be a jacketstand shirt!

[@TheDarkestPhoenix]

Man, Jackstand's boat is great. I love it. I mean, I wouldn't want to work on it, but it's definitely cool.

[@MrDannyd9]

8:20 You should be at 3k to break-in that cam because of the flat lifters. Also, I didn’t see a high zinc oil go in the ole girl. Come on man.

[@aceryas]

Yaaaa I noticed that too

[@MJTAUTOMOTIVE]

I just said the same thing. After it was all put back together he said I might do an oil change. That oil with all that water in it will wipe out that cam and lifters in minutes. Especially with the quality of crap components we have these days.

[@XxMusclecarsxX]

He put that cam in dry lol

[@1953fords]

Yup commented as well. They used to roller cams.

[@williamstamper442]

Reminds me of the over the transom chrome Bassett headers I had on my 455 Olds jet boat. That old turd went 80 via gps with a warmed over 9.5:1 compression short block and box stock edelbrock aluminum heads, single plane and barry grand modded 850 annular booster carb. (Same engine went on hot rod power tour and went 11.80 in my 1970 442). Baffles in the header collectors? Took em out. All the fisherman under the bridge on belleville lake just shook their heads as I idled under the bridge in no wake zone...sounded Real Good!

[@BrianGib85]

"Doesn't have enough lift to open, you're in the same boat but will more cylinders" why did I laugh so hard at this.

[@DjSubstain]

Maybe because it literally is in the same boat? Hehe
