Just got a 97 challenger, some ?'s

[kcr357]

Hi everyone, I just joined the site since buying my first boat about a week ago. I got it for a good price, but it needs a few things-pistons and a bore job, CLEANED, maybe new memp, the usual stuff. I had a few ?'s that I wanted to ask.
1. There is a fitting on the exhaust that looks like the rave valve on the engine, there is a threaded hole there but no fitting or line. Am I missing something?

2. The seat has a tear in it. Can anyone rec. a repair kit for the vinyl?

3. The port side cover for the cooler thing is MIA. no luck on ebay, are there any ideas where to find one?

4. How in the hell does water trash an engine so bad? Ive taken apart 30 yo car engines that made this thing look brand new. It cant have more than 40 hrs on it but there are enough deposits in the head to salt a four lane highway for the better part of winter. (Im mostly thinking out loud here)


BTW, if anyone has fungus or mold on their boat, pink interior cleaner from detail king in pa works awesome, I used it on my handholds today, they look brand new. Thanks for any help.
