Possiblility of a blown engine?

[mneal]

Are you (they) 100% sure the head gasket blew? Over heating can also hurt the manifold and riser gasket and that will also cause water intrusion as well. If they did cooling system pressure test and/or leak down then never mind but just making sure they don't pull the heads when not necessary.

yea me 2

OUCH Is right, thats way more serious then I thought it was.

[ddmracing05]

ouch! yea we have state farm so i feel alot better now that u say that.

[dogbert]

I know State Farm replaced my rudder, prop, drive shaft and strut when a submerged log got wedged between my prop and rudder.

Good luck.

[ddmracing05]

thats wat were trying to find out tomarrow, but yea it has insurance

[dogbert]

That sucks. Do you have insurance? Sometimes they can cover it if it's an accident.

[ddmracing05]

.... Trash blocked of intake for impellar... Make since?

[dogbert]

sounds like your circulation pump had a problem. You might want to think about an alternate service option.

[ddmracing05]

ok just got the phone call that may put a dent in my pocket...

So far we know a head gasket did blow, water in 3 of the 4 cylindars and Im not going to know if the head or pistons are cracked for another 2-3 weeks when they have actual time of getting around to it. either way Im done for the season damn it

EDIT:
He did say the thermometer did read 220+ but he sayed due to something (cant remember) it was only reading air and the true engine temp. was WAYYYYY hotter than what that said. So im pretty much assuming im screwed.

[ddmracing05]

oh hes gonna look at EVERYTHING just to make sure I dont run into any more problems next year... Like the beginning of the summer when we bought the freaking thing the impellar went out, then a belt, then rpm gauge, now this. They used to be a Tige dealer (idk why they arent now) so im pretty cool with them looking at everything.

[dogbert]

Well, I'd have him give the boat a good once over to see what else might be lurking.

[ddmracing05]

Well... I just dropped it off at Shad Racks in Bristol, VA. My neighbor Mike O. is the guy to go to for them. Instead of waiting in line for 2 weeks, they are going to look at my boat first thing in the morning . I also get boards and parts at dealer prices through him too cause we help out at the boat shows .... Anyways im dreading the phone call tomarrow to find out whats wrong with it.

Usually, if you're overheating, your engine goes into limp mode.

Mine didnt...
