My other engine ran obviously but it just didn't sound right. I'm just wondering about valves because one cylinder was alot lower on compression than the other three, which may be why I had trouble getting the idle in the correct range. I'm definitely going to tear into it at some point in the future. I do know it blew a head gasket at least once.You lucky (sea) dog!! Nice score!!
Thank you Scott, I'll look into that.I mixed up my own metalic silver for my OMC. it was 4 parts rustoleum silver, 4 parts black, 1 part blue.
LolI'm working on cleaning the lower case, I found a source that I can seemingly get a full new gearset at an excellent price. I'll have to inquire after the holidays.
I found a guy that has tons of 2.3 stuff, I'm looking to pick up 2 complete units from pulley to prop in addition to what I already picked up. I will be able to definitely have a spare and try to sell the rest.
The drive has been the thorn in my side, I'd love to repower but it's time to finish this
This is when I really wish I had a bigger garage!
Yes I'm really feeling like a hoarder, but when owning a 2.3 you have to be![]()
I had spoken to them also, they only had used ones. I am going to put in as much new as I can which is why I have been holding out on them. I found them for $100 far less than most places.You may already be aware, but sterndrive.info could likely help you allot.
