well, you can bet it would be caught by the APBA Chief Inspector in the Stock Outboard Ranks!! He is one sharp cookie and a builder also!!

[mercguy]

No, Fred, none of that would pass an APBA inspection. Even the most blind inspector would find that kind of work



Where blueprinting is allowed, with the intent to make any motor as good as the best motor from the factory, blueprinting is very good. When allowed blueprinting intentionally produces motors that exceed the best factory motor - it is no longer normal blueprinting; that is altering to increase performance.

I agree with you 100% on your last statement. Those who think otherwise are just looking for instant gratification

Sam, can you give me an example to this statement? I am just trying to understand what has been done and if it can be corrected, in some way?

thats not an inspector bash, it also was a vary long time ago,

The at the last annual meeting the SORC approved .030 inch beveling the exhaust port on the 44xs. The logic, as I understand, was that some engine builders have been doing that and they have been inspected but were not caught so the SORC legalized the beveling. Looks to me like raising the exhaust port by .030 inches. If that amount of bevel is so necessary, why are they not beveling the transfer port? From my experience, the transfer port does not need to go up. So much for stock.
