Anybody running Clintons this year?
I have a 4-port E65 and I would love to run a few laps with any challengers
Chris Marchand is probably not bringing his 5-port E65.
Got something Mr. Kneisel?
Mr. Santee?

Anybody? :D :D :D

Bringing a slightly modified E65 and a Clinton boat motor.
Boat motors aren't known for high RPM, so we'll see if it stays together.
Putnik Dude is coming, so we'll have a few out there.

Heard Don Thompson and Rob are bringing Clintons also.

Don't forget to bring those 580 Benders also.

Don Thompson threw down the challenge months ago. He says I'm old and fat. While he's old & skinny. After the last grudge race we had a few years back I'm ready again! I got one lap in before my leg got a cramp! So I'm all warmed up and ready to go.

A few questions to those who have posted so far.

Is that 4-port E-65 only the intakes? As in two added like on a Westbend 5 port?

What is a 5-port E-65?

What do you do about the exhaust on an outboard engine?

Does the E-65 run well converted to a bushing engine? Like replacing the needles with a floating bushing? Is compression too high to be reliable as a bushing conversion?

Can you fill the lower ring groves on a stock E-65 piston and only run the top one with good results? Would high temp epoxy maybe work or cut a aluminum dummy to replace the lower rings?
