I ruined the yellow truck.

Well it was a good story.
The character development was interesting, I think the audience really enjoys the "wheel and tire options" but the ending sucks.
Theres no drama or anything which pull the audience back in...maybe a simple bonus fix or a tool trick would help provide a satisfying conclusion..


good luck.

Good that You did not have to replace the cam shaft and got it running without a lot of grief.
If the 250 is anything like the 292, the cam gear is pressed onto the shaft and requires a press to install a new gear or, remove/install the old gear.

Yeah, no wiped lifters or junk in the oil pan. How boring.

Glad you got it back up and running, with minimal effort.

By the way, I like both the boats in the background. That's where most of my free time / money goes...

The big one is a 2001 Chaparel Signiture 300 with 2 Chevy 305's powering it, while the other is a 1999 Mariah Talaria z221 with a 454.

Both great boats, and both run.

The Mariah has a hasn't been on the water in a few years since the interior got destroyed after the cover blew off while in a storage yard.

I plan to put it back on the water this year though.

Nice!
I've got a little Rinker Captiva now. Purchased it last June. It's a 2007, had only 43 hours on it when I bought it. I STOLE the boat from the prev owner because it was super dirty, and needed a few maintenance items. Now it's got a sweet running 4.3L with a Monster Tower on it. We got it up to 54mph last fall on the last family outing.

Hope you get both of them wet this year!

The Mariah has only about 230 hours on it while the Chaparel has about 2,000 hours on it.
