    Mercruiser 5.0 Won’t Reach Operating Temp

    Water goes into the block from the circulating water pump and what keeps it from coming back out is the thermostat. The Stat is just a valve. If the Stat doesn't open it over heats, if it gets stuck open then it runs cool. Since its not the Stat then only other thing is the housing. Either...

    Mercruiser 5.0 Won’t Reach Operating Temp

    Seeing your cooling system is a 7 point drain. Was the thermostat and all the pieces installed as shown? Note the thermostat goes against housing, then the gasket, then sleeve Also was the housing clean of any left over gasket material?

    Making sure I purchased the correct coil for a 1996 5.7L

    Suggest; Pull both heads and look close at cylinder bores. If they look good and there isn't anything that stands out like excessive wear, get a valve job done on both heads

    1987 MIE 454 oil pump intermediate shaft?

    Metal or plastic should be able to do it. You will know if it doesn't go all the way in, because the Dizzy won't go all the way down. The plastic one will require it to be pushed down until there is something like a snap in

    1987 MIE 454 oil pump intermediate shaft?

    While it might be metal, I'm currently rebuilding a Gen VI 454 and the one removed is a white thermo plastic. It rides against a place so its like a bearing/bushing

    1987 MIE 454 oil pump intermediate shaft?

    Yes it can be put back in without removing the motor. The issue is alingning the slot and tab inside the plastic retainer (item 4) https://www.mercruiserparts.com/bam/subassembly/31663/1948/210

    2002 Volvo penta Gxi 5.0 beeping issue

    BTW it maybe able to done away with. Code 44 was only used on MEFI 2 and 3 models. Since then they found it does more harm then good. It can be turned off but need tuning software to do it. The caveat is that the ECM program cannot be locked and most are not. Need something like MEFI Burn...

    2002 Volvo penta Gxi 5.0 beeping issue

    Normally it happens real fast, but sounds like its intermittent. It works then it doesn't. Could be a bad connection on the sensor. It has a plastic clip that snaps on top of it. Some times the top gets corroded https://www.amazon.com/Sensor-Switch-Mercruiser-806612T-Mercury/dp/B01MXW22I6

    2002 Volvo penta Gxi 5.0 beeping issue

    The ECM checks to see if the knock sensor is work when the motor is first throttled up after restart. The ECM advances spark to far for milliseconds to see if it can detect a knock. If it does, timing goes back to normal and all good. If it cannot make it knock, then it sets code 44 meaning...

    '09 5.0 TKS (Carb) not running

    It should, the carb is full of fuel and should run for several minutes just idling If it doesn't then there is a short somewhere. Will need a voltmeter to see 12V with key ON (motor not running) on purple wire. Should be on one side of the oil switch and + side of coil. If less then 12V not...
