Jay Smith Racing Outstanding Service

[astro2000]

Have not been on here in a long long time wanted to post this for the work Jay done for me. Had trouble with my eng a year and a half ago. After a rering on my 1998 200efi. Motor went down on power #2 low compression. Had found a great big mouse nest and figured it had gotton some sucked up in the reed cage. I reringed #2 again that fall and the following summer running back to the dock the eng locked up. Once it cooled down it fired backup and idled in Upon inspection#2 had melted the crown by exhaust port.
I decided to have the engine completely gone through and over hauled. I called Jay mid October and told him what had happened and what mods that could be done. He went over in detail what he does and why. I already had a few things done quite a long time ago Tdr reeds, heads cuts by Jay and det cont mod removed. I know I will miss a few things here.Injectors cleaned and calibrated, new pistons top pinned by John Marles, once they got back to Jay balanced them and the rods. He cut the front case and did mods to the block to improve the flow so the engine could breathe better. A whole lot of time with a die grinder smoothing things out. Jay was real good about keeping me up to date on everything and invited me down to watch him put it together once everything was in and prepped.
I arrived there Tuesday morning and I think he started at around 8 am. Jay had everything lay'd out on a bench in his clean room and by 3pm it was fully assembled and had all 6 cylinders indexed for timing. This is where we found that the timing pointer was off to the high side. After supper we got mounted it on the test stand. The following morning Jay reset the timing and checked all 6 hole tested fuel pressure and fired it up. He ran it for a little over an hour. Hhey painted the engine black and gold to match my bass boat, looks really sharp.
I would like to than Jay and his wife Cathy for their hospitality and taking me out for some really good food. Going to have to drive back down just for the chicken sausage gumbo and fried ribs.
Thanks again Jay

He does love his hog hunting. We checked his stands a few times but nobody wanted to come out and play. I was hoping to watch him smoke one
