    There is nothing that I know of that can be done to fix a wore out motor through spraying or pouring. Only way to fix a worn out motor is buy another or fix the one you have. You could pull the head and have it rebuilt, normally isn't expensive. A couple 100 which would include valve job and...

    Can't shift after bellows/lower shift cable change with Bravo 3.

    ok, were all good. I'm thinking of the way the cable moves and really doesn't matter. You removed and installed drive as per the manual. The Rev was the one that gave me concern The cable should be able to be moved in/out by hand by push/pull the lower shift cable with motor running. This...

    Can't shift after bellows/lower shift cable change with Bravo 3.

    Thanks Problem has to be in the shift cable install or it's routing. To install with throttle in reverse should be very difficult. REV requires the cable to be retracted closer to the bell housing. Having it that close it would be extremely difficult if not impossible. REV requires the cable...
