This is not the first time I’ve heard of this happening on a viper motor. You are sure it split the filter housing and not just leaking around the o ring gasket?

Jasper getting real confident challenging us to hold it WOT. I can go all day Jasper

Sorry to see you’re having problems. A few thoughts. You can’t read the plugs at this point. The rings are already smoked so the plugs are only useful enough to show you the piston bits glittered on them. Your fuel system seems more than adequate. You would have to notice a pressure drop (or...

Used to be you would send them to Ilmor but now they and Chrysler no longer support the platform. Best bet for viper rebuilds is exotic engine development in Nevada.

If you’re getting a Mercury Racing engine rebuilt and you’re interested in it holding value you need to use an engine shop that is also a Mercury racing certified service center/dealer. That should narrow the list down. There are a lot of engine shops that do really know what they are doing...

If you are getting spark but not injector pulsing while cranking it is likely an ECM issue or harness issue. Check for 12v on red wire to injectors. Blue and green wires are bank one and two pulsed ground to fire injectors

Its in the intake manifold near the distributor. 3/8" npt brass sensor with a 2 wire plastic delphi weatherpak connector. Very common for them to get crispy. Its reading the air temp after the intercooler. you really need to throw a scan tool on it and give it a quick once over.

might be the Inlet Air Temp sensor or Coolant Temp Sensor not operating properly and thus not providing proper cranking enrichment

Since it cold started decently before and now it doesn't want to this season, I would say its not related to the ECM or tune. Might not be a bad idea to send the injectors out for sonic clean and flow bench test. Check base timing, check all sensor voltages and operation with key on. Might be...

green shield is not USCG. There are a few options for USCG with a proper teflon barrier that can be used with push lock or barbed fittings. Push lock is also required to have a crimp fastener (even though it might not actually NEED it to stay fastened)

still mint and still a good truck thanks buddy!

I have word that driver and passengers are alive without major injuries, were wearing jackets. This is second hand I was not there.

in all sincerity, not judgement of habits cause I drink too.. You might want to get a blood panel done. Being affected by smaller amounts of alcohol can be an indication of something else going on. (also if you are on any presciptions even antibiotics)

Turn this little guy clockwise a quarter turn or 2 or 3 You have to final tune a carb in the water not on the trailer. It trying to die when cold means it’s probably a bit lean AND idling too slow when exhaust is submerged. But if it never dies when it’s hot then leave the idle mixture screws...

it could be that the engine is idling too slow when the exhaust is submerged in the water... or the air idle control (IAC) valve is no longer working if its an MPI... or there could be nothing wrong and its just the exhaust reverberating with the water level and swim step

Whipple's have better throttle response. The blade opens and boom horsepower, blade closes and you have instant engine braking. Whipples make a nice flat-ish boost curve and torque curve and will pull horsepower and RPM until the engine runs out of volumetric efficiency of heads and cam, so...

I may have banged my girlfriend on the deck of the GN77 raceboat once at the shop on a Sunday when no one was around... don't tell my dad.

That magazine cover is rad

1993 suburban navy blue metallic with a 5/7 flip kit drop and 17" Boyds wheels. You could flatten the second bench and remove the 3rd bench. I loved that ride

I think Ideally you would want to be in between that bullet cam and the 525 Cam. The bullet would be good for the inches and heads but with a 1050 dominator and better exhaust. The 525 cam is only 236/242 duration (if Im a couple digits off forgive me) REALLY small for a 555 with a big ass...
