    350 Mag Mpi hard to start when warm or hot

    If lift is all the way up then the cam lobe is under it and your adjusting wrong. Do this to make sure the valve your adjusting is fully closed. Start with any cylinder which has one of it's valves being opened. Adjust the other valve and mark when done. Find another which one of the valves...

    5.0 MPI Fuel grade.

    Look at your manual it lets you know what octane is required. Increasing octane reduces power available for a motor not designed to need it E0 is good so no staible is needed during winter E10 is good but staible may be needed during winter

    I like everything you said except this part If you have a hard time remove or install then you need to get a alignment bar and adjust alignment. You should not need to have that hard a time to remove/install. Adjust the front mounts so alignment is true and you can install with one hand. My...

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GI-F (2006) water in Cylinders

    Assume your if fresh water, and if so your exhaust is probably fine VP done away with exhaust flappers and in this case it probably could have saved the motor. Wake boats take on all that water to make them heavier. The heavier they get the low in the water they go. Backing up with all the...

    Depends on your ability to understand what the manual is stating. Things like end play, run out need dial micrometer. Rolling torque need a torque wrench with a dial My Bravo 3 weight is heavier then yours and I was still able to do it with first a engine hoist, then later got a drive rolling...

    Bilge pump wiring

    No The wiring above allows either the float switch (which is inside your pump housing) or the manual switch to turn pump on. From your first post it read like you already wiring it correctly, so I'm not understand the issue :unsure:

    350 Mag Mpi hard to start when warm or hot

    Should not feel any slop on rockers. Valves should be adjusted to 1 turn past zero lash. The valves shouldn't have tightened so maybe prior owner did some incorrect adjusting Ones that have slop look close at rocker nut to see it stud looks to have more or less threads extending out from nut...
