    Photo dilemma

    We are working with the hosting folks. that could be it, could be a few things. unfortunately us mods do not have access to the server....... we are able to swap the deck, just not check on the engine.

    projects other than boats

    So, the other day while consuming a cocktail or three...... my thoughts wandered...... since getting everything to fit in front of the firewall is challenging...... why not pair the LS4 with an Audi/Porsche 6-speed and turn it into a mid-engined vehicle these were the inspirations...

    88' Mercruiser 165 harmonic sound

    Its not the oil pump. pull the drive and run it. my guess the sound goes away.

    Water in Oil

    if there is no water in the combustion chambers or inside the exhaust ports and only in the crank case. its either like AD suggested - a bad gasket (intake gasket is first suspect), lack of sealant on head bolts, or the block has a crack in it to pressure test: with water out of the block...

    Water in Oil

    was the block water jacket pressure tested or the block magnafluxed? is this a 1996 and later motor? do you have the correct gasket on the intake? are you using Mercruiser gaskets, or Sierra "green leaker" gaskets between the manifold and risers Power steering is a separate system, so you...

    does volvo penta 4.3gl and merc 4.3 use same block

    some light reading on the 4.3. https://forums.iboats.com/threads/complete-history-of-the-4-3-liter-with-casting-numbers.693935/ to make things easiest and cheapest. find a running motor of the same vintage from a u-pull-it salvage yard out of a truck and use the short block and heads.

    88' Mercruiser 165 harmonic sound

    those compression numbers are low, hopefully its your gauge does your motor still use the original stator under the harmonic balancer for charging, or was it converted to an alternator? could be a magnet coming loose or the dust cover, or the exhaust flappers have burned up from lack of...

    I have a 1986 Bayliner Capri with a 4 cyl volvo engine with a volvo Penta 270 outdrive.

    Outdrive, under the gearbox, sitting on to of the pivot pin in the H-frame. Follow the hose from the transom shield

    I have a 1986 Bayliner Capri with a 4 cyl volvo engine with a volvo Penta 270 outdrive.

    That doesn't put water out the exhaust. If you are loosing water on the glycol side of the heat exchanger you have other issues Did you tape the muffs in place. If not, the water isnt under pressure in the drive. Did you verify the raw water inlet fitting is intact?

    Will a 2001 tiller from a johnson 25hp work on a 1977 35 hp johnson

    I have a 1986 Bayliner Capri with a 4 cyl volvo engine with a volvo Penta 270 outdrive.

    To expand above. Without a pump in the drive, once disconnected, the line from the drive pickup can not flow any water..... Additionally, the fitting on top the H-frame pivot tube needs to be replaced every few years. When (not if) this casting goes bad, the raw water pump will loose prime...

    T-Stat for closed loop cooling system?

    typing on the phone with a cocktail in my hand would be the guess. I meant kit. Monitor used to make HX's for Mercruiser before Champ (then Alpha Laval, and now whom ever is the parent company of Champ). Size should be ok for a half system. how is it plumbed? until we have the pic uploads...
