Ya, a little vague. My bad.
Failure was due to timing gear missing a few teeth. Was replaced and new valves, head and block planned, gaskets all around.
Compression strong at 154 for all four.
When I checked the timing it was bang on what it should be but i'm having a block on what that is...
Morning all! So my newly rebuilt 1984 140 will not go past 4000 rpm and 29-30 mph. Prior to having the engine failure I was able to hit 4400-4600 and 37-39mph.
It also seems to be missing "power" between 3000 and 4000rpm. Takes longer than I would call normal to get there.
Engine runs good...
So final chapter closed. Had the guy tear it down. Result was several teeth broken/stripped off the timing gear. Three of the valves were not lapped properly in the head.
Replaced & fixed what wasn't working, changed the rings (pistons and walls were beautiful). She purrs like a kitten now...
Hey guys. Just wanted to give an update. Machine shop I was working with quoted me WAY too high for a tear down & rebuild. Unfortunately I'm at a point that exceeds my ability & comfort level.
Found a place not too far away that will help me out! Dropping the whole boat off later today. He...
Phew! Thanks for the confirmation!
OK. Bare with me. Measure literally from bottom of the spring to top? I assume I should do this at TDC to ensure they are closed?
My bad. I did a wet compression test. I did NOT do a leak down test. I have not been able to start the engine, it's still in indoor storage in the garage.
When I installed the head I followed the manual. Torqued down to 93ft/lb.
My piston walls are really nice. No scoring or marks what so...
