Hey Guys
I recently took on a huge headache. My partner took my boat out 4 years ago over heated it and parked it. I was laid up and never got around to even touching it!! It is a 470 Mercruiser 170 horsepower 3.7 liter 4 cylinder. I just cleaned out all the old oil all the old gas and did a compression check and surprise all cylinders were between 122 and 130. I did drain out alot of water and old oil that looked like cottage cheese but with alot of patience i got it ready to try to fire, and believe it or not It fired right up ( I swear) !!!
and it idols really nice but seems like it knocks at high RPMs but i cant make it leak engine water into the oil it is water pumped in by the outdrive and noone agrees on what the problem is!!!
Please Help!!!
thanks alot
