    Dissimilar Metal Question

    Chrysler 105 and 125 combo Maybe

    Back in 2015 I picked up a Chrysler 105 Conqueror with a 105 hp OB. Well the OB had a cracked block so could not use it. Frank mentioned before his passing that I should look for a pre 1994 Force 120 hp and swap the cowling. In looking I found what I thought was a 140, but might just be a...

    Looking for Delphi Numbers

    Anyone have a listing of the Delphi numbers which correspond to MEFI numbers? Have a MEFI 1 and always thought it came from my old motor, but just did notice the Delphi number is for a 350.

    2012 Cadillac SRX P0442

    The Admirals Cadillac (110K miles) thru a P0442, which can be (from what I read) a vacuum leak in the tank, lines, purge valve, vent valve or canister. Jacked the car up and looked all over the place and could find nothing which stood out. First thing to check was the gas cap. Web says the...

    Dodged the Ice Reaper again

    Yesterday was working on the boat getting ready to put it in. Removed a rag placed in the bilge and found a freeze plug laying in the bilge. Started to sweat and put my head further down and noticed the block plug on the port side was still in. Also notice a rusty hole where the plug came...

    Water Pressure Gauge Tubing

    Will be installing a 40 PSI water pressure gauge on the block this season. Could use the typical 1/8 OD tubing but its typically -5 to 125 degrees F, for ice maker stuff, -5 to 175F for auto stuff, and -60 to 200F for shore D:70 stuff. The shore D:70 is fairly stiff so this probably won't...

    HNY and Hope all winterizations were done correctly

    Every year we all read threads about folks having cracked blocks from bad winterizations. With it being so cold for so long I'm thinking the numbers may go up, hoping they do not. In any case Happy New Year and may it be a safe one for you and yours, and there will be no issues come spring

    Hope the Heat is Keeping UP

    Installed a new 16 seer heat pump this summer, and with the temps dropping below 30F the heat pump would be going into electric coil mode. Good thing also installed 2 vented propane gas logs. Turned HP down to 66 and the logs to 68. This way the HP does not turn on and the logs take over...

    Chrysler 130

    Keep look for another motor or block to replace my 105. Frank told me I could use a 105 (original) 120 or Force 120 and change my cowling so long as it was before 1994. Found a boat and motor on CL but guy says compression is 132 across the board (skeptical) and its a mid 80's motor. I didn't...

    Assuption: RV Antifreeze clogs watercraft

    This is just an assumption, but right now we don't have any other answer. The PWC is winterized by pumping 4 gallons of RV stuff thru the motor. Used RV stuff and not straight antifreeze (exhaust manifold) because of the inner cooler. The PWC didn't get used any last year and sat on an Easyport...
