Great to see you out on the water today to bad for all the negative posts out there people just don't understand when you push these engines So hard that you have to be on top of it parts fail and always will keep living your dream Finnegan GODSPEED
Killer sequence from :14 to :30! I've shot a lot of fast boat footage and keeping the boat in the right frame while zoomed out is tricky. Good job shooter fella!!
Good to see it run again 😊 On our 2 Berkeley's we have the water regulated by a bypass regulator with a smaller orifice upstream. 1/2" inflow, 3/4" overboard off the regulator, 3/8" restriction orifice and 1/2" lines to the motor. Run the system at 11 psi. Seems to work fine to 6K which is what our impeller limits us to ... You're turning more, so your jet feed pressure is higher. Maybe a 2 stage regulated by-pass ??
Welcome to Parker AZ. Really enjoyed qualifying day watching you and the rest of the field trying to qualify. Didn't make it to eliminations on Sunday so hope you did well. See you and your crew next time.
@@FinnegansGarage Yea, me too. I recently tried to search out which ones are still in one piece. There aren't many left from the late 80's/early 90's. It was a special time for sure.
So enjoy watching these crazy machines be it on land or water! But Damn this video has brought me out in sympathy with my wife. 12 minute videos Mike? That's just not long enough!!
There will be longer vids from this race. We filmed, edited and uploaded this in one day. Now to get home and work on the long form video of the event.
@@FinnegansGarage yep Cole or Canyon’s are the best runner bottoms. If I was to build another one I get a new Cole hull from Pete Giroux from Giroux boats. He does such a clean excellent layup job better than anyone I feel. Pete has a few of Jim Coles molds and he reenforced them with steel bracing so they are very straight. My BGF was built by k-boat driver and blown motor builder Ron Bolton and his father Dwayne back in the day did the complete full installation. My late friend BAF builder driver Don Ermshar helped and gave me for next to nothing my new blower pistons, aluminum rods,Shotgun injector hat,Dan Olson wing, and and awesome prop ect ect. The blown BBC sounded like it was on alcohol and you’d hammer it and it wiggled a couple quickies then set and rode like a caddy all the way to 7400. Was so smooth many times I felt like once I hit the quarter mile to just keep on going but. I never raced it but back when we finished it in 1980 is was by far the the most beautiful and fastest on the Parker Strip. Steve Johnson from the Paint-N-Place on Bellflower did the pearl white paint job with several candy colors . Everyone use to say it was the nicest paint job he ever did. He painted a bunch of funny cars back then. If you drove one you would be hooked if you got to the point you were working the pedal spot on. So much more fun. Sucks the water getting in your motor. On my BGF I didn’t want a water pump so they just knew the correct size water pickup to put on it and ran the water exit on the side of the hull where I could reach it with my hand while I was just cruising to make sure water was getting thru the motor and was not plugged up. Plus no water pump to fail so she ran right at 165 -170. Back then I added up just the main stuff and when they finished it I had $47,500 and that was not a bunch of little stuff. Ron Masterjohn
At 5:50 - "He has the handicap of having a Ford engine in his boat. Have to root extra for him - he's in the struggle box." LOL Funny statement from someone who makes more milkshakes than Dairy Queen LOL
@@DIARRHEA-PANIC 100k if you're buying a carbon fiber jet boat. Since this is the only one made you'll have to settle for fiberglass. You can get a competitive fiberglass jet boat for under 50k.
Finnegan Finnegan Finnegan Finnegan you need a wtar pressure by pass/regulator. The offshore guys use them when dealing with high/over pressure connections with hi speeds and when they re enter the water from a wave jump. Say like a 15 psi that dumps the excess water pressure overboard. Bet theres a spike soon after you floor it and again during hi speeds. Don't waste your time trying to restrict the flow, a bypass will always let it run with consistent pressure. You know this boat will be used off the racecourse here and there so why go thru that headache on vacation in parker or havasu etc. when you just want to play with and enjoy it. Awesome boat congratulations.
Hey Mike Huge fan! I'm 58 and reliving my childhood. Bought three boats this year. One has a 383 stroker that I build. One has a milkshaked 5.7. Since you are the undisputed king of the milkshake, any advice on cleanup?
I wonder at what pressure the gaskets are leaking. Maybe a pressure sensor in the water jacket could help dial the restriction in. Looks like you're on the right track. Boat looks great!
The funny thing is you went to this combo because it was more reliable you said in that video lmao the TTBigblock seemed to be a bit more reliable so far .. isn't that always our luck with cars /boats..
Just love those Headers Mike . Sensational piece of workmanship. Obviously not Bassett Headers . What Brand are they . Last time out you ran 131 mph . Can you squeeze a bit more out of her . Love your channel. Looking 4ward to episodes 2 & 3 . Robert Australia
Nothing Wrong With a Ford Engine at all . Just ask Jon Kasse in Ur neck of the Woods 🪵 Mike . My Engine is a 461 BBC with Intercooler and 871 race blower. Would rather a 482 with the Cupronickel Intercooler & 4.5ltr Whipple Supercharger. Ur 632 BBC is an Absolute Beast Mike .
Thanks for the great content once again! I have to say, you can't keep an engine together to save your life lol, and I am NEVER loaning you any of mine 🙂
The problem is not the water pressure. That engine had clearly been milkshaked at the builder. What was in the valve covers was not just condensation. I'd be absolutely pissed if I got an engine back from a builder and it looked like that under the covers.
I don't have any drag boat knowledge. But working with industrial hydronics and steam, why not build a small baffle tank with an oversized fuel pressure regulator to control water pressure? Maybe McGyver something with some -12 or -14 fuel rails.
I've went through this before with my flat bottom v-drive. Clean oil on the trailer, instant milkshake under load at the lake. The problem was interference from the inner brass rivets on the MLS headgaskets. These rivets were tight against the deck area of the cylinder heads which overhangs into the lifter valley. This distortion of the gasket was enough to cause the water leak under load only. Removing these inboard rivets solved the problem. Something to check on BBC's.
Dude whoever did your video this time compared to the video of the last time you went boat racing.... It's totally night and day. The shots are infinitely better, the editing is way better, it just tells the story much much better than the last one.
Great to see the effort (and money) paying off with a good pass! Engine sounds wonderful, healthy! I thought you were going to get out of it early with the wind blowing? lol Space age carbon fiber boat with ~1940s V8 power (I know, it's a "modern" V8, but still)... Rad, but kind of ironic. Does the engine have a water pressure sensor / gauge with a trace in the data log? Is the engine holding as much pressure as it should? Do you _know_ the path the water is taking to get to the oil? Given a conventional cooling system can have a 15 psi radiator cap the engine should be able to comfortably hold that - maybe a target? Glad you've got an alternator. Did you stick with the 16V battery? Is the alternator setup for that voltage? Smoking alternator sounds like a wiring problem. A voltmeter reading should show two to three volts above the nominal battery voltage if it's being charged - a quick test. If it's not in that range and you need to run the boat you should disconnect it until you have time to debug. Possibly the battery was low and the alternator is working hard to charge it. If it was a new unit it's possible that making it put out a lot of power is just curing the insulation on the windings. Have a laser IR thermometer... Being parked for so long the only way to be totally confident in the boat is to take everything apart down to the last screw and washer.
I was going to lift but i was having so much fun that I forgot to. lol. we did a voltmeter check. Oddly enough, the battery was resting at 17 volts and climbed to 18V when the engine was running. The alternator stopped smoking after a minute and worked fine after that.
Trying to warm lash valves is a terrible idea… No clue why certain people always do it… Cold lash is way more consistent, maybe not as accurate to those few people…. I’d rather have consistency over accuracy when it comes to my valves… Also my brother! Do yourself a massive favor and get a set of Hardin Marine valve covers!!! Two simple wing nuts front and rear and your there… o-ringed no gaskets besides the base gasket… Which never gets removed… 👍👍👍👍
Cold lash is the way to go. And if you want the precision, just make a quick reference spread sheet so that you know if there's any difference to account for hot. I set my lash cold, then warm up my engines, check all four intakes on one side, This can be done in less than 90 seconds. Not adjusting anything, just measuring. Take note if any has a difference. Then I can account for that when setting cold lash. Then reheat, do the four exhausts. Wash, rise repeat for the other bank. It might be a bit of a hassle, but it's only done once. Reason is that cooling flow and fueling for each chamber can be slighly different. I have seen 5 thousands of a difference hot cylinder to cylinder. So that just means that I have to lash one 17 thou cold and another 22. Then they end up very close to the same.
@@ThisManTriggeredMe same dude, I was just joking. Seems like the guy can't catch a break on some stuff though. How many engines has Blasphemi had? Lol
I ended up putting a water pressure regulator on mine after the ball valve just inside the transom. I got tired of header burns while trying to fine tune the flow.
Engine builder: “We built a bulletproof engine that will stand up to anything “ Finnegan: “Hold my beer, cuz I’m about to milkshake the shit outta this shit!”
I don't think the builder did a proper job. It had water in the oil before Fin ran it. That was not just condensation when he removed the covers to adjust lash.
@@AB-80X I've been following Finneys boats since way before youtube. I'll always remember his Blue Ultra or the Red/white Rogers TR. I would say the opposite, dude usually goes way too far to make a boat nice lol. It's easy for a jet boat to produce way too much water pressure for normal intake/water gaskets and they will cause a milkshake mess in the oil pan. Hopefully he finds the issue on where and how the water is getting in the engine.
Seems like a partial refund is in order if this boat was misrepresented. Hell, maybe the seller mentioned that the engine was going to be a huge problem.

Generally your alternator puts out 1 or 2 volts higher than the battery capacity and your ignition coil wants alternator voltage and it will have a hotter spark than if you are running off a battery that’s dropping off voltage as you go down the track.
