Engine cleaned and painted, Lifters swapped, and valves adjusted.

The original boat motor looked like it had only 200 hrs on it (inside). Everything looks brand new. Previous owner had installed a set of crane roller rockers on it (bonus). Too bad they were on the junk 1980's low flow emission heads that crack when you sneeze.

Set the valves using tech inspector's tip ~ zero lash + 1/2 -3/4 turn. Counter rotation motor makes it a little more confusing (crank spins backwards / cam spins forwards) but as long as you use the backwards firing order things work out the same.

Just need to finish modifying the early gen 1 intake for the late gen 1 heads and button up the small stuff. Should have the boat ready to go by winter...
