Had:
....heads
....manifolds
....risers
....injectors (on port engine)
...............on both my 454 Mercruiser engines
.....1,000 hours on the engines
.....Bottom is cleaned monthly.
Sea trial for repairs recently.
My port engine is maxing at 3400 rpm
Strbd engine is maxing at 3800 rpm
For sure, the 3400 is too low.
I am thinking even the 3800 rpm is too low.
I am feeling I should get 4,000 rpm anyway if not the 4200 to 4400 I expected
Question - in the event new fuel filters don't help....and .....my mechanic tells me that 3800 is all I am going to get from an older engine......................is this correct? Do you agree?
Thanks for any thoughts.
