    Since one side is so much hotter I'm going to go with when was the last time you check the manifolds and elbows for corrosion?

    Alarm sound when turning the key - starter does not work.

    Yes it looks like it was pinched a little. Its a **** show where its gotta mount. Just changed my whole harness on my 4.3L recently. Not saying it didn't happen but its not that black stuff for sure. Still reading what he did. So no 2 cents on that yet. ****** You have voltage on 30 which is...

    Alarm sound when turning the key - starter does not work.

    Those wires under the fuel pump relay don't look melted. My 4.3L has all that black crap under it as well. Even my new (to me) wiring harness had it. Just grab a screw driver and touch the big red terminal on the starter and the yellow wire on the back side.

    Volvo 4.3L Pre-Vortec to Vortec

    Rebuilding a motor is a bit more than I would take on. Guess I would have to see how much someone would charge but I think I can almost get a reman block for the same cost as paying someone to rebuild. I can swap the motor myself. Pulled this one about 3 times already.

    Volvo 4.3L Pre-Vortec to Vortec

    Mechanic said it was good. My motor actually locked up previously because the manifolds were letting water in and he checked it out since that was a bit over my head.

    Penta 4.3 GL in saltwater?

    I use Delo400 in my 4.3L it says diesel but no issues. I run only in salt water. Before you buy a starter pull the plugs and try to turn it by hand. I hope the starter didn't break because the engine seized. I've had this happen a while back when I tried to squeeze one more season out of my...

    Volvo 4.3L Pre-Vortec to Vortec

    I have a '94 4.3L It runs but has tons of hours so this winter I'm going to re-power. I only use this boat for short fishing trips and sand bar. I have a bigger one for the dark to dark trips so I can't see my self spending the money for a backet & outboards. Since I'm going to re-power I was...
