    Remove the belt and spin the alternator, tensioner, and check the compressor bearing. That's a lot of rust for that motor. Chances are it's going to be the alternator bearing being dry. You will know...

    I use a stock tank as I posted on your BC facebook post. But, why not use the flushing port? I understand you might over pressure the system if not careful but it should work also.

    Time for an update. So, a couple of weeks ago I received a message from Don highly suggesting I have the injectors tested and adjusted. He said he was swamped and couldn't get to me in any short...

    Listen to these guys advice. Cranks aren't cheap. Even if you grind it yourself you still should bag the crank and tape the journals so you don't get any micro metal pieces on them. Use a file and...

    Same symptoms every time?? If so you need to check sensor wiring back to the harness and beyond. It could be chafed someplace and grounding intermittently. Also, take a ohm meter and test it through...

    FWIW, when idling you are reading alternator voltage to the battery. You need to check and do a load test with the engine off. Batteries can and often do show the correct voltage. It's the current...

    My first response to them would have been. It didn't have stripped threads when I brought it to you. Why didn't you call me when you found out? How did you repair the stripped threads?

    As Savage posted the true wear is .010. That wouldn't affect volume much and in fact could increase volume but it would be negligible. I would be more concerned on the thickness of the bore. It would...

    My only choices are to send them off for repair and hope for the best. Just break down and buy new at $2+k or scrap the motor. I'm not really interested in spending $2k and not resolve the problem. I...

    544173It is psi. The <5 numbers are vacuum when the engine is running using a vacuum gauge. It just seems to me that manifold vacuum is low. I am not familiar enough to say whether that should be the...

    So, I put the ddt back on and checked map. Not running I am getting 14.8 and running at idle I am getting 12.6. With low vacuum I can't see the numbers would change that much. This is comparable to...

    I put a vacuum gauge on it and it reads about 3-5 at idle.

    So, I received some past paperwork on the boat when I purchased it. It did not have any documents on the powerhead replacement but it did have some paperwork on repairs in 2016 around the time I...

    I wouldn't call it massive but it looks normal. I do remember checking the mid and tuner for carbon before I replaced it. Those honeycomb type holes were all clear. I compared both exhaust tuners to...

    Numbers don't seem too bad to me. It depends on how the compression test was done. Was the engine warm, all plugs removed, throttle body wide open. They are all within 10% of each other. Can you get...

    OK, so I confirmed my previous readings. I have less than 5hg of vacuum at the map sensor and I get the same readings at the fuel pressure regulator. I always thought that it acted like a vacuum leak...

    I had a senior moment. I checked vacuum at the fuel pressure regulator and not the map. I will recheck map vacuum at the sensor. I do remember taking a vacuum pump to the map while running and a full...
  19. One more time before I scrap this engine.

    OT749027 OK, so I posted about this engine back over the fall and winter. This motor will not idle in gear. I took a lot of advice here but have not been able to resolve this issue. It is a 03...

    Let's see if Don can chime in with a better option for you. But, I agree with Savage, the sleeve can either be repositioned or replaced and pinned. It shouldn't be anywhere near $10k

    I would heat the stud itself. What that will do is expand the bolt in the aluminum housing and forcing the housing out just a little. Once cooled back off the stud will shrink and that might/should...
