I'm happy with the plan to fix it. What is your opinion on lifter bore clearance on a marine engine. It is a Dart block.

.0018-.0020, no more than .0020. Depending on the lifters, you'll want to measure every one. I would recommend Morel lifters as they seem to hold the best tolerances and run on the large side compared to most others.

Had same problem on 540s, wound up being lifter only had .0005 clearance . Thought it was guide clearance. Dart lifter bores are on the low side of the tolerance and lifters must be fit by brand as sizes differ .

Sorry we put comp short travel lifters in. I have one that is 670 at 5600 then I put flame arestor on and it went to 680 previously with tight lifters this motor only made 550 at 5600. These motors I built with dart iron eagle 320s .
