    Welcome The stuff in your link is basically radiator stop leak Folks have tried to use that kind of stuff for years. It coats everything in the motor and does stop a very small leak, the issue is it doesn't last. The other thing is it won't do a head gasket

    2002 5,7 Mercruiser exhaust manifold keeps cracking - 5 times this summer

    We thought all were verified cracked in same place Can test by using a piece of rubber and sandwich the elbow and manifold together, or use a piece of flat steel or even a 2x6 piece of wood. Then pressurize to 1 bar

    SEI preload and a stern jack

    Don't know how much if any. Boat was bought from Checkmate in 85 by my Buddies brother who is a doctor. The same model never came with a 383 so no numbers +/-. I've been in it and speed-o does not keep up and it doesn't have a GPS. Pics of it on the water with 4 people in it, all you see a WOT...

    No fuel at rail with KO/EO merc 350 mag mpi tow sport (02 centurion)

    Think of a garden hose, the water comes from the house (the pump). The spray nozzle (regulator) regulates the pressure based on how much nozzle is opened or closed The high pressure fuel pump will produce more then 60 psi. Can bench test fuel pump on bench with gauge connected direct to pump...

    1973 Gibson help

    The motor is not used on just Gibson houseboats. The pump may also have been replaced by another, so we also don't know. Unless there is some kind of serial number that can be looked up somewhere showing a parts brake down we have no where to look. Look at the motor and find the pump. The pump...

    First find out what model pump you have, then it should be easy enough to find parts or replacement.

    If that was a gas motor you would have blown a head gasket. That temp can also damage the diesel . Temps should not go above the thermostat setting, no more than 180 Replace the impeller

    2002 5,7 Mercruiser exhaust manifold keeps cracking - 5 times this summer

    What you have just makes no since as to why it's happening. If it was the manifold then why doesn't number 6 have same issue. The hoses are routed the same for both manifolds and in most all cases the port side does get a tad bit hotter the the starboard bank. Scott's idea may provide some...
