    Single point drain

    Pour AF in hose 2, it won't be completely fill everything, but will be real close Don't know the heat exchanger is used for, warm air or hot water? Is it connected to the motor or something else? Look on the HE and does it have a drain valve? If not remove both hoses

    Single point drain

    The plug on the thermostat housing is to open an air way so the water flowing out goes easy and there is a reduced risk of a vacuum happening and it holding some water back. It gets removed first before lower plug is removed and valve is opened If all the water is out your safe, but if any of...

    Single point drain

    Not what you want to here but there are a few variables. With open cooling and single point drain you should have a blue plug on the thermostat housing. Either that or will have a small air pump mounted on it. The drive comes up as a A G2, so there is no worries with the raw water pump The...

    Single acting Hydraulic Cylinder Woods Batwing

    Removed pipe plug, and when cylinder was retracted it belched out some oil. Going to drill maybe a 1/16 hole in the plug for now. I see they make breather plugs and may change later. Also need to look into cylinder rebuild kit

    Setting Timing on a 2002 VP5.7GXI-A

    Setting Timing on a 2002 VP5.7GXI-A

    That is correct how timing is done using an advance timing light and not having a ECM. You may be able to do it with a ECM but I cannot say for sure. Your motor does have the connector it's just has not been found yet

    2005 3.0l Mercruiser

    Kind of odd from them to fail that soon, they normally last for the life of the boat. A 3.0 just doesn't produce that much torque Does the alignment bar go in easy? Have you tried tightening the bolts 38 ft-lb?
