Thank you very much for the help to all of you :=)
It's perfect!
I also think the mistake was that I could not see (or knew) that there should be a "0" in front of the M.
It is a customer who unfortunately has a Mercruiser 5.7 where the engine needs to be changed and therefore I was a bit...
Hello everyone.
I have a small problem with identifying the engine. Found the serial number which is on the plate, mounted on the side of the engine, above the starter motor. The number is: M023826
The engine is a V8 GM block. The following is written on the engine screen:
Model: MCM 5.7...
Well, it's a little weird.
I was lucky this time.
Which engine do you have according to the drives you mention? - the question is whether they have slightly different compositions, all depending on the engine type and possibly drive unit??
Do not know.
but it was a great relief ;)
Hi Scott.
Thank you for your feedback and always such a nice explanation of things. It is appreciated.
Very nice step-by-step description.
But amazingly enough, I chose to take a chance. As mentioned, getting a lifting device made is a rather complicated task. So I just wanted to start by...
Hi Scott.
Thanks for the feedback.
That's what I feared ;) But okay, so that must be the way we go.
The biggest problem is the engines, they are both built into the deck of the boat - so I don't have much of an opportunity to make a lifting device to lift the engine and move it back.
But it...
Hello everyone.
Is there anyone who with their own experience or from similar jobs can be helpful here?
The question is whether you have to remove the Bell Housing (flywheel housing) in order to change the bearings on the primary shaft?
It is a Volvo Penta KAD44P and the drive is DP290-e.
I...
Hello everyone.
Thanks for all the hints and tips
As mentioned, the engine ran super fine and everything was as it should be. 45-60 min operation and the owner chooses to sail out for a trip. Not much later, the oil pressure dropped immediately and he subsequently could not measure any oil...
Hi Alldodge & Scott06
Yes, of course there are many models. The best information we have been able to gather at the moment is:
BRAND NEW Chevrolet Performance 350/5.7 V8 model Vortec 1996 - 2002 (Enginee 12530283 12681431) Why there are 2 numbers I don't know?
Another document that came with...
Hello everyone.
I have an acquaintance who has struggled for a long time to get his engine and boat working properly.
The short of the long story is that they had the old engine removed as it was defective.
A brand new Vortec 350/5.7 V 8 was bought home, replaced with the necessary parts and...
Hello everyone.
Now I had the engines swapped around, it required some new parts and other little things.
But it starts fine and runs well - as well as it can now with a basic adjustment of timing.
But I've got a problem - it can not draw cooling water up from the drive and feed it through...
Hi Bt Doctur
You may be right. It fits very well with some of the other camshafts and the difference between them.
But it's always nice when most things fit in and you do not have to modify or rebuild anything; =)
Thanks to all of u´
Hi Bondo, thanks for the feedback.
It's a brand new Chevy engine.
I also think you can easily use the current one - but I just doubt if there can be any challenges with the overlap on the cam according to the exhaust valve and the intake valve and the timing thereof?
But if it is thought that...
Hello everyone.
Well, it ends with a total replacement of the engine.
The current engine is a Volvo Penta 5.0 GL-B V8 GM, 2 barrel carburetor, 1 electric fuel pump.
Replacement engine, is a Chevrolet Performance 350 / 5.7 V8 Vortec.
The problem is that the camshaft must probably be replaced...
Thanks for the advice, dubs283 :)
We've messed around a bit in it again. After the engine died, out on the water. We checked the ignition, there was no more spark - very faint. Despite distributes, coil, ignition, etc. was brand new. In addition, several of the spark plugs were sooted and the...
