We’ve all see the trials and tribulations of Finnegan’s adventures in jet boat racing, as he bought a proven boat that had been sitting and so far the racing efforts with it don’t compare to the excitement he had to get it out on the water. Not to be too badly daunted by the unfortunate issues he’s had with the big block in it, Mike has been working to make it quicker and more consistent, and more importantly, reliable. But why is this engine continually fighting him? Well it turns out there might have been some other problems. So in this latest episode you are going to find out what has really been wrong with it, and then what the plan is going to be moving forward.
Will he fix it and race it? Will he replace it with the 700 + cubic inch Hemi headed big block from Game Over?
Watch and find out.
And if you missed the video where they started taking apart this big block the first time, it is down below at the bottom of the page as well.

Episode 297 of Mike Finnegan’s Garage sees us heading to Mooresville, North Carolina to visit Pete Harrell and Mike Moore. The goal is to further our diagnosis as to why the valves are hitting the pistons of our really expensive 632ci Big Block Chevy race engine. In Episode 282, after a disastrous weekend of racing, we tore the entire engine down in my home garage only to discover some major issues with parts hitting other parts inside the aluminum V8. In this episode we discover why.
