    DP-SM won't shift in to FWD or Rev.

    How hard is the coupler replacement job? I have split the drive before and changed water pipe and seals. Wondering if I can tackle myself. So your saying not to worry to much about a slight vacuum leak?

    DP-SM won't shift in to FWD or Rev.

    Got both drives off and on stands. 1 didn't have reverse last year thought it was new cable I installed that was misaligned. When shifting by hands feels correct but doesn't link up input and output shafts at all. I hit something in water and bent prop when I lost all gears. Trying to...

    6.2 vortec head torque setting?

    Not to my knowledge, I put short bolts to 55 #, med 65, large 75 carefully in stages with my digital snap on torque wrench. Seems fine just probably overthinking it. Tired of messing with this motor/boat. Want it done and forget about it.

    6.2 vortec head torque setting?

    I reused the stock ones supposed to be from new gm marine. I believe they are not torque to yield bolts. My question is if I over or under torqued them and should redo it with new bolts???

    DIY Head Porting?

    I have the heads off my 6.2 gm marine long block I recently installed in my boat due to a broken rocker arm stud. Is it worth it to port/polish them myself. I have all the tools and time.
