I'm a little worried, and I am looking for guidance here. My 1997 4.3 runs at a temp of 200 when idling. Once I open up the throttle it will shoot down to 170. I replaced my impeller last season and the old one was in nice shape. So I don't think thats a issue. I am about ready to...

When I pump the grease in can I overdo it and blow a seal or something...
Hy everyone
I have a 1997 OMC 4.3 in/outboard engine. This weekend while out on the lake I "started" having a issue while starting the engine. About one out of every ten starts, instead of the engine cranking over all I hear is a loud "PING"!! I then turn the key again and it cranks over. Any...
