I'll do a leak down to see. I don't know the age of the motor but I do know it was in a boat for about 4 years and we run them at 3000rpm + all the time. I only paid $250 for it with the bellhousing to mount a marine clutch that is worth $500 new. The motor has been sitting for 6 months.

Thanks for the info all 3 of bolts line up with a head bolt. Is there any water passages there? What's all involved with pulling the heads? Can they just be pulled and put back on and just check the valves and pushrods?

I'm new to this forum and there is plenty of info around. The motor is not in a car it's going in a boat but I had 1 broken intake bolt and in getting the intake off 2 more broke. A easy out doesen't work so can it be drilled out and without removing the heads?
