I have had water in the drive oil a few times, I made a pressure testing adaptor and bought a vacuum tester. Also bought the spanner tool to remove the retaining ring to the prop shafts to replace the seals. Also have had to replace the shift actuator double lipped seal as well.
Hello,
I had my 98' 5.7 GSi rebuilt and I will be getting it back in the boat soon, but winter has started and I will be running it in temps above 0 degs-40's to break it in. What oil viscosity should I use? Manual says 20w/20 for temps 0-32 F and 30w for 32 degs and above.
Can't find any...
Hello,
I have recently purchased a used 1998 Volvo Penta 5.7 GSi (BY) engine that came with what I believe to be a 3857596 Freshwater cooling kit on it and I am looking for the installation instructions for it to install it in my boat. See attached pics of the H.E
I installed the trim limiter so I didn't have to guess if I was in the "safe zone" when trimming the drive. Usually the promblems I've had stem from wire corrosion and bad connections
I noticed some fuel leaking at the throttle shaft of my TBI and the throttle was sticking at idle, I've read about bushings for this problem. Has anyone done the bushings or had it done on their TBI?
well I got the trim to start working again after splicing the broken black wire but the trim gauge is still pegged, I did try to adjust the sending unit to the 11 ohms prior to finding the broke wire, so I will revisit the sending unit setting tomorrow, thanks for following!
update #3
found the Black wire broke at the backside of the trim limiter connector to the sending unit, can I cut the connector out and splice these wires? I know the sending unit uses resistance to tell the limiter the position of the drive, will splicing the wires affect that function?
