Stupid engine rebuild

[TitanTn]

Hey Rob how are you doing with this? Any headway?

Thanks Ken. I was going to give an update, but I couldn't find this thread. Things are going a little better for now. The manifolds tested fine and I simply couldn't find anything wrong with anything. I put everything back together and tested this weekend. It ran great. No issues with water in the cylinders. No water in the oil. No overheating. I tested compression and it's solid all the way around. My only issue left is hard starting after being warm. I'm hoping that's just some carb adjustments, but we'll see.

Did you recently fill up your boat with fuel? Could be water in the gas...

I think I'm good there. I've been through several tanks this spring while doing all of the break in and setup. I'm somewhere around 25 hours on the rebuild.

Just out of curiosity, what is your compression on a fresh rebuild?

Averaging about 140 cold, with no oil. Warmed up it should get a little higher.
