    Low Oil pressure at idle.

    the things that impact oil pressure: oil viscosity and temperature oil pump volume and bearing clearances oil pump regulator spring of the 3, make sure you have good oil of the proper viscosity. if that doesnt work, pull the motor and get to the oil pump and bearings to check the last two.

    2007 Mercruiser 4.3 w/ cracked block

    both volvo penta and mercruiser used the 4.3 block and heads from GM Cam, intake, exhaust, ignition, and accessories are different, however the long block will be fine. your 2009 will work fine as there are minimal changes and it falls in the 1996-2013 window

    2007 Mercruiser 4.3 w/ cracked block
