    TB V?

    They all use mean best timing. The knock module gives a little more protection. No difference in the service manual for either timing curve, just engine.

    That's by sir tabs a lot... right?

    TB V?

    I think they all work with it but you would need the separate knock module as well. Service manual 25 has the wire pinouts.

    cooking

    I typically have them pre packed in salt/pepper/garlic and frozen in vac bags. So it's as simple as just tossing them in before work... Easy. I prefer them on the grill but firing that up after being awake 18 hours can be... a fun experience. :ROFLMAO: The poke test is nearly fool proof. My...

    cooking

    The steaks as of late are easy, I let the sous vide for a few hours then finish in the cast after a rest. Can't really mess it up that way. I did use it on that brisket and a few other pet projects... it's awesome just ebing able to walk away from the grill, oven, etc.

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    I may steal engineering on the fly as the title for the scrap book of my resto I'm making for myself. :LOL: it's funny... I took measurements when I started and by the end I was just like "meh, close enough." Turned out right I guess. What numbers are you using to calculate the resin by chance...

    cooking

    I caved and got a proper cooking thermometer. Not a wireless one but a good wifi one so I can check in on things wherever. :) (Waiting for Joe to say I told you so.) :p

    No dipstick on 1989 era 3.0L?

    Does it actually have a readout? Ours is L and H and is a fudged number sent to the dash... nothing else. There are numerical values accessible via the PCM data stream over the OBDII port though. The raptor/tremor on the 14th gen get the actual readout on the dash though.comparing the data...

    No dipstick on 1989 era 3.0L?

    I don't pick. I just deal with the aftermath of everyone else's poor choices and get paid for it. :LOL:

    spark plug question

    I would use the correct length plug for your application. IF the dieseling persists even with letting it cool after running, you can shut down in gear and that should take care of it. My 3.0l used to diesel a lot.... I suspect it was heavy boat with a small, over worked, engine. :)

    No dipstick on 1989 era 3.0L?

    That's all well and good if you have a TFT/Level sensor. Most I've seen don't. Fords oil pressure gauges are mostly an idiot light. :rolleyes: My daily (not a Ford) doesn't burn oil. I check the level after an oil change and right before I am going to change it. There is a sensor that will...

    No dipstick on 1989 era 3.0L?

    Usually so you can discover a leak just before it's too late in my experience. :LOL:

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    Based on what I've seen with the current crop of 5200 I used... I wouldn't trust it to not shrink. I think Scott may have some choice things to say about it too. I switched back to boat life for stuff like that.

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    Silverton also installed their garboards on the bottom of the hull, installed from the inside much like how Scott showed. Imo, that's the way I'd do it.

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    Yeah, the last "big" change was the transition to euro styled hull/transom. Regardless, good lines are good lines. Ted's boat has fantastic styling. 4 winns, just as an example, primarily exists because of their design department and what ever cocktail of drugs they were on in the 80s penning...

    Lithium ion batteries

    Yeah the 14 is that magic number it seems. I'm still tossing around the idea anyway. A portable power station would do 90% what I want it to do. It's just a custom build is more elegant and seemingly cheaper too.

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    So I guess you can say you added a wee bit more running surface?

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    My thought on why they didn't was simply because at the time, the viability of outboards on a "big" boat wasn't necessarily there. You only really started seeing that come up the last 15 years or so I think. And higher HP outboards that are reasonably light are a relatively new thing as well...

    Lithium ion batteries

    Hey @bruceb58 I have a (probably dumb) question for you. My house charging setup on the 330 has a multi configuration charging system on it. One of the promariner pro nautics that you can build a custom curve for or use one of like 8 built in profiles. One of those is lithium. Even years back...

    All you really do is build a better idiot until eventually you just remove the human from the equation. I see it every. Single. Day. :LOL:
