Old man 101 Blown V-6 Pics

[wrechin2]

Here are the pics of the V-6 that Old man 101 blew this past weekend for all of those that this sorta stuff interest you. 5 of the 6 pistons are damages some worse than others.

The ports will be squared and raised to 200Hp specs and cleaned up internally to increase flow and velocity. If you are interested in see this as it progresses just let me know. As it happens I will post the pictures. Guess it is a good thing he has known me for about 12 years huh!

I would like to see the progress as it happens. The pics show a starvation of oil or high temperatures, maybe both.

Most damage was on the starbord side. Look to have been a combination of overheat and lack of fuel. He had been complaining of a surge at high rpms and had just gotten a new Electric fuel pump. A lean condition will also increase engine temps, so it is hard to determine when they blow like this. It did melt the coils, and the popets in the heads, and the temp senders. So I feel it was a combination of the two and the alarm WILL BE FIXED before I let him have it back. He is like most of us struggling to make ends meet so it may take a while for the whole process. Amoung the modification being done to it , it will need 1 sleeve (already has a .030 over and cylider is scuffed, will not run a wiseco in a fishing motor) , and 6 pistons. Even though the piston did not get hurt the block will more than likely be out of specs when cleaned and will need bored anyway, along with the standard parts need for a rebuild.

anybody up to donate to the cause?

Hey,
Look at the bright side with the weight of the X-flow pistons and the price of aluminum... You can probably buy a coke!!!

 

[Oldman]

it better be a three liter.

Those cylinders look much worse than the ones in my mercury I took apart several months ago. I hope you can get it back on the water before too long.

i cant sleep or eat for wondering what he is going to ask to repair it.but what ever it is i know it will be a fair price.(wont it wrechin2?)

Did you build it?? I kinda remember when it happened. At that time I has a 87 115 which was the early 150 just rated at the prop and not the crank like yours. ALOT stronger engine and would have bolted up to your mid. It is what was on the boat I traded for the mill.

The johnson...Nothing but a thing. They are all standard bore except #5 and it is .030. Will bore it .020 and sleeve the 1 that is already .030 back to standard then bore it to .020. That will make them all .020. Then do some majic to it and get a respectable 215-225hp and still be dependable with no problem out of it. Will post all mods as we go. This will be Johnson X-flow hop up 101. May take a while as $$$$ is tight with everyone and my buddy is no exception.

I have a 78 115 in the floor I need to pull apart. It has I know #3 down. Will bore all 6 then sell the block ready to build and the internals. When I get the time!!!!LOL!!! Guess that is a good thing, just not getting to work on my own stuff!!!!!!! Been 2 years trying to build my race boat, guess it will be 3 now!

You have a advantage, you have known me for what 12 years???? Yes, it will be more than fair. You can ask anyone I have did work for in the past. I have been often asked..."is that enough???" when I give them the bill. I enjoy doing what I do. Just can't wait to see your eyes the first time you stab this and see what it will do. They will be a HUGE difference. Alot more than when I put the jack plate on. Just don't forget who's plate you are running!

 

[Oldman]

i guess as long as this oldman is alive and own a boat i will be donating to your cause but working on yours is OUT.no time for that.the water is calling me.lol

 

[Oldman]

what plate?

 

[IFish]

That looks ugly. Hate that happen.

Every time I go in the garage and I see the mercury sitting on the stand I remeber how it sounds turning those high rpms then I remeber how much I HAVE invested sitting there with only 12 hrs on it. The engine has been there for 1 1/2. I turn it over every now and then to make sure she is still happy. If I hadn't of loaned my lower to a good friend and him let if catch his boat as it fell off the trailer, I would give you the merc as a loaner, but I don't have time to build the lower for it. Still have to finish the low water pick up on the housing before filling it with nearly 1K worth of new gears and bearings!!! So you will just have to fish from the bank!!!!LOL!

 

[Oldman]

sure was a pretty day to sit in front of the boob tube.sure would have rather been fishing.boo hoo

 

[wrechin2]

I was standing in front of a mill all day making a torque plate for the mercs. Next is a plate for a OMC that poped!! Here is what the torque plate is that I am machining. Wish that was my mill cause I would already be set up!!!!

 

[Oldman]
