    After checking out quite a few props online and reading some forums about props, I have decided to try a Cutting Edge prop so I will call Greg Hittner (I think this is his last name) tomorrow about my application and factors he needs. I remember asking about these props with no response on the Donzi forum so I will be the test subject and announce the results after getting the engine repaired and the prop tested.

    Leon and Daniel Derebery came by late this afternoon to listen to the Warlock engine on my hose at my shop. I believe Leon guessed it was a connecting rod at the crank letting go. I will be pulling the engine and taking it to him ASAP. No matter what, it is not devastating damage. Leon said he had a guy who can rebuild any crank to like or better than new if the journals need work like he suspects. Onwards, Bill

    I see your point about not losing oil pressure which would seem logical, but it stayed up. Leon told his son that the small passage was probably "welded" closed after we mentioned that it did not make sense. I will look forward to seeing the internal damage which I hope is minimal. No matter what, I will now know exactly what parts are in the engine along with some specs which I never had. Leon was impressed with seeing the Pro 1 aluminum heads and another guy who was there mentioned the really good roller rockers he saw through the oil fill hole. I think the internals will all be some good parts. I even admitted to Leon that it was probably my fault for letting the engine get to around 6400RPMs on my newly installed VDO tach which I did not believe at the time since the engine is hard to hear with the sound deadening hull and engine compartment. I learned from the mistake already. I will report on the final prognosis. Onwards, Bill

    Bill, you are lucky to have a shop close by that really knows there stuff. I too am curious as to what they will find on the inside. Good luck with it

    Thanks again Greg. Yes, Fix - there is an oil temp gauge - it never got too hot - maybe 220. Onwards, Bill

    220 F is barely over the viscosity test temp to qualify an oil's viscosity.

    300 degrees or more is hot.

    Bill, 220 isn't even an issue.

    bill 220 is to hot,,even 200 is pushing it..

    when you replace the cooler (im sure its full of bearing material) ya may want to consider going to a bigger one,i would hate to see this happen all over again..

    Ken,
    If I remember correctly, you are an oil expert - correct? There are two completely different opinions here. Bill

    Mike, thanks for the offer. You were nice enough to send some other core examples a couple years ago. I actually have a lot of Divinycell left over from when I was working on the 27' Magnum that I abandoned. Did you ever run into my cousin, Nancy, again up there? Bill

    Bill, there will always be differences on oil.

    I just wanted you to know that the test to qualify an oil is 210 F. So running 10 degrees above that is not anything to worry about.

    Expert, not really.

    Ken
