    New 5.7 issues with old(new) starter

    Yes, black marine certified. This is as weird as weird gets. Same starter, same flywheel that where working perfectly together. The starter engages when power is applied but it hits the front of the flywheel then retracts. The bolts look fine. I did notice that the bolt that is oposite to the...

    After a couple of uses it was a whining noise under load. Items discarded was, pulleys, outdrive and bearing. At the end it was determined to be internal from rebuild. Whent with different builder for this engine.

    New 5.7 issues with old(new) starter

    Even though it was the same flywheel and same starter used on the motor that was turned in? They both worked fine with one another. They actually played nice, no issues to report.

    383 conversion, outdrive concern.

    383 conversion, outdrive concern.

    Guys i am steps away from sending the 5.7 to be reworked and turned into a 383. I have question if the outdrive will sustain the new torque. My current outdrive is a DP-SM. Attached is the pic of the drive number. And another question would be how to determine if the 5.7 was really converted to...

    Here are 2 vids of the two noises that i came about. The 1st one just recently developed as i was testing it sounds like small tick. The pulley noise is because of being wet that later went away. The later one is when load is applied. Scratching my head.

    Overheating under load

    Well now we have either piston slap or rod knock in the mix. Working with the mechanic to determine a noise under load. Imagine that, a brand new engine with less than 5 hours.

    Overheating under load

    I dont have closed cooling. Outdrive draws from the sea (raw). I will then order a 140 and recheck. Will still investigate further into the heating up issue and provide update.
