Number of labor hours to install Hydrotec Phase 2?

[Rick James]

Anyone get the Phase 2 kit installed locally that can share the number of hours it took to have the setup installed?

i installed a phase 2 kit on an OX66 myself and it took me about 4 hours.

225? Can you share your thoughts after the installation? I'm thinking about one over the winter.

I had a 19' Skeeter with a 200 HP OX66 on it. It was definitely a noticeable difference. Primarily on the bottom end (out of the hole). Increased the throttle response substantially from bottom through the top of the rpm range. Top end was probably 1-3 mph depending on conditions obviously. I now have a 20' Skeeter with a 225 SHO. But if I ever had another OX66 I'd buy the phase 2 kit and install it again.

Anybody know how much they are milling heads for this kit? Isn't that all that's done? I didn't think they were producing an aftermarket piece. Shave .030-.040, add the exhaust tuner and a set of reeds, one might be on to something without the cost of heads.

4 hours on a Phase I and 6 to 8 hours on the Phase II.

Phase I kit is heads, carbon reeds, and all the gaskets
Phase II is heads, carbon reeds, tuner, solid mounts, and all the gaskets
