    Seized engine

    Doesn't sound good. It wouldn't take much water to seize a motor You've done all the checks. Lets hope PB loosens things up

    Seized engine

    Start with basics Is your battery fully charged? What happens when the starter engages? Do the battery cables heat up? Can you turn the motor with plugs out by the belt?

    3L rough idle, one black spark plug

    Without knowing which 3L it is (ah no serial number) If gauge is accurate its your running hot, not over heating but unless its closed cooled it's running hot

    3L rough idle, one black spark plug

    Need a better gauge, the numbers are high (150 for new motor) but difference between cylinders is good With 2 and 3 being tan (good color), 1 and 4 is from oil. If it was fuel all would be black

    Mercruiser 7.4 Dipstick Tube Broke, Can't Remove Oil Pan

    Agree, the dipstick is most likely not what is actually keep the pan from being removed, its most likely the oil pump sump

    Mercruiser 3.0 TKI engine crank half time - never starts

    I want to know if the voltage drops at the starter while the motor is cranking. If it drops below 10V the starter does not have enough to turn the motor over. Doing the same test at the Bat will help but need to know at the starter The ACR should connect both Positive terminals on each Bat...

    Mercruiser 3.0 TKI engine crank half time - never starts

    Can look good but be corroded under connections The ACR is not the issue Those auto type connections should not be used. Connect the cables direct to the studs next to them and use nuts Did you get a meter reading?

    Rough to start, barely idles, runs great above 2000 RPM's

    Sounds like carb needs rebuilding. The idle circuit is clogged.

    Mercruiser 3.0 TKI engine crank half time - never starts

    Dean's List gets another motor

    Need to restate the piston on the left i=was found on cylinders 2 and 3 (not 2 and 4). They are across from one another on the same journal. Figure they put them on same to "try" and compensate if there are different weights in pistons. Could press the pistons off and measure the weight

    Dean's List gets another motor

    We did find a spun bearing, right now don't remember which one it was, will state later. No need for double chain, original is in good shape. Dean did buy high dollar bearings, mentioned why did you want to do that? All I can say is it's a Dean thing 😆

    Dean's List gets another motor

    Have a new Eagle crank and standard bearings. Do not plan to do a stroker with a 24K LB cruiser. No way that would help much at all
