    Shocking experience

    At the time it was connected to shore power only to charge batteries. All other brakers off. Brakers that where on were shore power and battery charger.

    Shocking experience

    Tested engine to ground and i got 0 volts. Will test gimbal tomorrow. Also checked all my connections and all are solid, nothing loose or missing. From what i recall i was wet at the time due to rain shower and working on the trim cylinders. Both had their grounding strap disconnected.

    Shocking experience

Long story short i installed a new engine and was installing the trim cylinders and outdrive when i leaned on the bell...

    Volvo Penta DP-SM water pickup fitting

    Folk this might be a silly question but the devil is in the details. I took off my dp-sm drive off for engine removal. Now after engine repair has finished i went to install and noticed the water inlet hose harb with a single o ring. The kit that i bought to replace bellows brings 2 o-rings...

    The hoses from HELL

    Scott, motor is out being rebuilt, old hoses removed and new installed but i am not able to fully tighten the nuts. I tried a tubing wrench and still access is limited. I got an idea after searching and i will be making a tool out of a deep well impact socket like this one. At least i have not...

    The hoses from HELL

    Hey guys maybe someone can shed light on the demonic hoses that go from the trim pump to the transom. This is a TSK SX-M unit. The old hoses had cracked the metal crimp sleeve and i decided to replace them. I managed to get the old ones off by cutting the steel tube with a fence cutter tool...

    5.0gi PEFS Throttle body torque specs

    Does anyone know the torque spec on 5.0gi throttle body to spacer and spacer to intake manifold. I am having a hell of a time finding the right specs. I dont want to crush gaskets on the tbi to spacer and spacer to intake.

    5.7gi reman shutting off on test stand

    Will do so, just a heads up as to what the engine does. This vid is not mine. The difference is that mine does start up and stays fine at idle only when rpms are high and mine is outside the boat using a 10 gal gas can.

    5.7gi reman shutting off on test stand

    On a rebuilt i questioned the weird compression on some cyls but we did have an issue with loose valves that needed to be 0 lashed again. There is a vacuum port at the TBI leading to the MAP. I jumpered the DTC blk and blk and white and got it in the ballpark but no timing light used.

    5.7gi reman shutting off on test stand

    5.0gi PEFS, i sent a message to the reprogramer to see if there was a need to have injectors replaced. Either way if not needed i will still have injectors flow tested and cleaned. I also removed spark plugs (ACDELCO MR43LTS) and reviewed that gaps. Some plugs with gaps of 45° and some with 30°...

    5.7gi reman shutting off on test stand

    Yes i am using the same injectors. I don't really know the fuel tables used when remapping, i would have to ask Ben Bowman to see. To accompany this i did another compression test with an Innova gauge because the Harbor freight was giving way low numbers and this is what i got with all plugs off.

    5.7gi reman shutting off on test stand

    Reman 5.7gi started on a stand will idle but once rpms are up it will hesitate, bucking and even want to shut off or it will shut off. It will sometimes also backfire. Several parts are new before starting due to deteriorated such as starter, distributor, oil sender, circ pump, knock sensor...

    Rebuilt 5.7 vortec wil not turn over

    Update, bad jumper cables, or at least not strong enough to start it. Get a pair of 2 awg marine and at least it turns over with plugs
