    MerCruiser 5.7/350 MIE flywheel.

    If that is the original reverse entry starter it will not turn the engine in the left rotation since it was used on the original right hand engine. Sierra # 18-5603 no core required. Sierra # 18-5908 Delco rebuilt. Core required.

    Chaparral backfiring a lacks power

    2X s with Grub! That is the exactly the same way my Donzi MPI acted. It had been in storage when I bought it and the Rinda showed that it only had 30 hours and never had any fault codes. Replaced the cap and rotor. After going through the fuel system and even having the fuel injectors flow...

    How do I change engine rotation direction?

    The pistons also have to be turned the other way on the rods. Front and rear crankshaft seals should also be replaced. I am sure there are some other issues will be needed to correct.

    1974 Mercruiser 140hp transom assembly replacement options

    Go ahead and replace the trim & tilt limit switches, be careful removing the 2 bolts that secure the wire harness as the break easy and tend to be corroded. Best to remove the bell housing and bellows to get to the bolts with some heat. You will have to expand the transom cut out and drill 2 new...

    1974 Mercruiser 140hp transom assembly replacement options

    Also the in line exhaust only has 3 bolt holes for the exhaust pipe and the V8 could have 4 or 5 mounting holes. It appears to have been sold and I could not get a look at it, did you buy it?

    The centering nose on the V8 gimbal housings that lines up and centers the inner plate is larger, while it may be possible to open the hole on your inner plate the exhaust flange on the V8 is different from the in line housing.

    mercruiser 140 low compression & cracked exhaust manifold

    Be sure that the machine shop mills the exhaust/intake side of the head also. It looks like at one point the engine overheated, be sure to keep a watch on the cooling system. Seal the head bolt threads with either #2 Permatex or a similar product.

    1974 Mercruiser 140hp transom assembly replacement options

    The bolt pattern was moved to compensate when the housing was widened for the trim & limit switch senders. So your current inner transom plate will not fit.

    MerCruiser 5.7/350 MIE flywheel.

    This may not be an issue but was your original engine left to right rotation? Quite often single engine straight inboard engines were right hand rotation and if your engine was right hand you will have to reset the pump in the transmission, swap the propeller along with the starter.

    Twin Mercruiser L6's '74 165's now 292

    292s have a bolt that retains the harmonic balancer. After removing it just get a standard 3 point puller with some 3/8” 16 bolts. As the Doc said the 292s are taller and the pan is also deeper, usually this causes no problem but worth checking. Also as the Doc said the exhaust hose needs to...
