Being that you have all BPS external parts on your motor already, I would match up the internals with BPS parts too, and there are only 5 items left that they offer. Pistons, connecting rods, cam, push rods, and rocker arms.

My personal opinion, if you are going to go thru the trouble of removing the block from the PD frame, and opening it up, you may as well do all 5 items. However it is costly, and more people opt to only do a cam (and possibly rockers arms) first.

Nothin against BPS i have alot of their mods in my motor but I went with EVT 493f cam and its a torque monster. If you want a cam that gets ya up on plane fast and still holds top end I highly recommend it.

Good info guys. I kinda thought that would be the answer. I am glad to hear that rockers and lifters arent mandatory. I will prob end up with the evt.

I have BPS cam & it works well. I'd be interested to see what difference EVT, Hoyt's etc would have on my motor... Hate to jack a thread maybe someone can start a new one to explain it to me I'm not the sharpest one when it comes to internal workings of motor etc.

Push rods and rockers are a waste of money. And DO NOT listen to anyone that claims you can just "drop" in a set of pistons on a worn engine!![/quote]

explain about the pistons

i like u know little about these engines. but before i jumped on a certain product recommended by a person. have them explain to u why a certain cam is better than another. have them explain to u the changes to the valve train geometry when u go with a higher lift cam. and why u don't have to change any of your componets such as rocker arms and such. ask about rocker arm ratio. what ever that means. ask about cam lift and duration at .050 and .200 degres before and after. ask them if u should degree in your cam at installation time. ask them if a welded on cam is as good as a virgin billet cam. then if i was you i would do a search on bing. on cams -rocker arms-valve springs-ask the boyes at isky or herbert cams these same questions. so that you arn't more short on cash

Sounds like u might need 2 sell that cam wif a disclaimer. 2 engines in less than a day, WOW. Was it the cam r a crappy build job? I don't want one of those blockbuster cams.

Like I said, the heavy barge, 2000 bolt heads from the poly and more aggressive props had the engines tounge hanging out all the time. On top of that the Briggs blocks are just crap. As far as going further out of business, well if I don't get calls or see post from phukn cry babies like you then good. Just makes my life easier. Guess Prodrive will get the blame when one of your black bitches craps out.

do your heads, carb, and exhaust and intake, stay away from the cams and you'll get the life that your motor is suppose to live. 140 hrs on my motor and mods were done at 30 hrs. and when its on the water i don't baby it when i get in the bad stuff. Only thing i have changed is prop and trim. Other than that GATOR_TAIL LIFER RIGHT HERE hahahahahaha lmao

I'm gonna order a GTR next week. I'm on the fence about staying stock, Stage 1, or Stage 2. The boat will be an 18x50 huntdeck .125 and .100. Normal load will be will be 380 pounds (2 hunters) and sometimes 2 kids (100 pounds total), normal gear and 4-5 dozen dekes. I don't want to regret not going with the Hoyt warrantied mods, but don't want a motor to crap out at 100 hours either (I'm about 14 hour from Hoyt for warranty work). Decisions... Decisions...

Reliability won't be affected with a stage 1 or 2. Don't get me wrong, chit happens...just the stage 1 and 2 are very reliable and for the most part trouble free.

Factory cams suck and can fail. Hoyt's cam idles smoother, give much more torque, and I have NEVER heard of one of his cams failing.
