Hey what's up guys in new to the forum, I'm
New to owning a Yamaha jet boat, and I'm
New to tearing down my engines to the cylinder jugs. I snapped a spark plug in each of my motors, couldn't get them out (easy outs, wd40) so I had to remove my heads. Had no idea what exactly it was that I needed to mark while taking these off. I have the service manual but here is My problem. Removed the head and the exhaust and intake valve (pads) fell out when my buddy turned it sideways. They all have numbers on them I.e. 190, 191,196 etc. how in the hell do I put this mess back together and get this engine back to where it needs to be ? Currently my heads are in a valve machine shop to do them and they said -- whoaaa where are the lash caps and the pads ?! I'm like they are home why ? He's like those need to be back in the same hole they came out !! What the hell do I do now ? I'll gladly give them to the valve shop but my manual says to make note of where they came out for reinstalling but I obviously didn't do that! The Timing is being reset and a new chain too ! So I'm not worried about that aspect. These valves need to be right for sure!!
