    Outdrive failure?

    Usually when you grenade the upper or lower the other unit is ok, but... metal pieces will get in the other half of the unit as they are connected from a lube stand point. So while the bearings gears etc in the lower may be ok it will need to be disassembled and cleaned. Of course there are...

    Outdrive failure?

    Agree pull the top cap on the drive. On the gen ones with out the lube bottle if the input shaft seal leaks into bellow the upper drive gears run low on oil with predictable results. As outlined above the gear test you did is normal. Likely pull the top cap look for metal in the lube if those...

    delco est timing specs

    Without the shunt in at idle will be about 12-15 degrees . Scott has you steered straight with the 24 ish total degrees. When I had dieseling on my 3.0 fattening up the idle mix and decarbonizing the cylinder helped. Ran seafoam down carb while at fast idle til it stalled let it sit 30 min then...

    Toyota/Lexus Timing Belt Change Thoughts

    Ran into same situation with my 65 GTO, bought a rebuild off Amazon, it worked for 2 years, basically sitting in the garage, as at that time the car wasn’t road worthy yet. Got a napa rebuild that has worked perfectly

    Engine sputters when turned off

    Special tool was a typo. The idle mix screw on the TKS carb has an anti tamper screw so you don’t richen it and change emissions. you need a merc too, to alter it. Typically these were factory set lean as hell. Same thing happens with lawn equipment nit uncommon to fatten them up a bit.

    Help identify 5.7 longblock serial#

    if it runs well and you know what parts to order dont sweat it too much. I took a 4.3 mercruiser used most of accessories wiring fuel pump etc and swapped in a 5.0 so I dont have a merc serial number. If you get the casting on block I think it would also say 5.7 or 5.0 back there depending...

    Help identify 5.7 longblock serial#

    All the common rebuilders like Jasper, ATK, Blueprint Engine etc similar companies that sell through Summit, Jegs etc use them on their engines. You should be able to tell if it is a roller by the block casting number

    trolling for hours then oil pressure alarm goes off

    Agreed wonder if he hit something in water or coupler gave up the ghost as the back and forth of trolling can be tougher on splines. Would think oil alarm is a red herring and engine stalled for some reason hence oil pressure alarm with ignition still on.

    5.0LX surging/stumbling

    yes coil can cause it but coils rarely fail unless the sensor inside dist is leaking voltage when car is off heating up coil ( had that on a VW back in the day) more times than not on TB if it is actually an intermittent ignition issue it will be the sensor inside distributor or ignition...

    TB 4 AND 5 COILS

    12 v is correct for TB ignition supply to coil + . I suspect that is a max input voltage but have never seen that before either
