    you have it right pressure test the cooling system. The symptoms you describe are that of a cracked block where cooling water enters the crankcase. You can have great compression with a cracked block like this as they rarely crack in the cylinder As kenny mentioned usually they will crack on...

    Be easy on me please. Total newbie.

    He is talking about 95% of the folks who post someone gave me a boat, inherited a boat, got a boat for $100 etc end up putting a lot of money into them. Hence the comments here about checking out structure etc. bottom line usually a reason it was sitting, if it was so easily turned into a...

    If you raise a rain barrel 10 feet high, and attach a garden hose what kind of pressure can you expect from gravity alone.

    Transom assembly rebuild

    Gimbal housing for both alpha gen 2 and bravo have different part numbers, gimbal ring as well. Obviously complete transom assemblies (gimbal housing, gimbal ring, bellhousing all assembled ) are also diff part numbers. gimbal housing part no alpha gen 2 8M0062568 gimbal housing bravo...

    If you raise a rain barrel 10 feet high, and attach a garden hose what kind of pressure can you expect from gravity alone.

    Depends on how many beers you have had... What you can do is get a 120v utility pump like this up to it - 40 psi max https://www.homedepot.com/p/Wayne-1-2-HP-Cast-Iron-Portable-Transfer-Utility-Pump-PC4/100067909 something like that, probably be able to find a 12 V DC one if it was in a...

    Rochester 2gv

    They are $579 new these days so that seems pretty good. the model is written over on the box, I assume they got 1410's which is the 750 cfm version and are using the box to resell these Eddys are a good carb to learn on simple to tune. I used merc 80359T throttle cable bracket for clean...

    Rochester 2gv

    a 1409 is exactly what you need - 600 cfm. works well on my Chevy 5.0 l vortec. easy to tweak. A 600 would be too small for a 454 so would be good if they re jetted it to reset it to factory jetting and step up rods. Hard to tell but dosent look opened. You can easily take the step up rods out...

    Transom assembly rebuild

    I think bravo and Alpha transoms are different parts as they have different part numbers.. the cutout in the transom is the same but that's it. There are several transom assys used on ebay at moment. Would look to buy one from a freshwater location vs saltwater one...

    If you raise a rain barrel 10 feet high, and attach a garden hose what kind of pressure can you expect from gravity alone.

    Rochester 2gv

    I dont think the 2 jet flows a whole lot more than 350 cfm https://www.chevelles.com/threads/cfm-rating-of-rochester-2-jet.70824/#post-468677 also dont think the rochester and holley use same bolt pattern but could be wrong there if it is running ok now save your money for an intake and 4 bbl.

    Wheel Bearing Inspection Interval

    Exactly made in china isnt the issue it is the qc standards of the organization And if it is not a counterfeit part. years ago my grandfather always used to call made in japan “Japanese junk“. Didn’t take long for that to change.

    I assume I need an engine alignment, vibration when drive is engaged

    It is used to align the engine but that is only the coupler and gimbal bearing which are a few inches apart There are likely many you tube videos on this. Looks for some so you get an idea of how it works in an alignment Don’t over think it as it is not rocket surgery

    Clear hose

    I think really comes down to temp rating some tubing is only good for 140F that probably wouldn't work long for down stream of thermostat but if its raw water coming up from the drive likely no issue Kenny has been around the block a time or two so can't imagine it wouldnt work based on his...

    RE: Issues with Mercruiser 5.0 LX 4 Barrel Carb

    Do you have spark when it doesn't fire, test with a spark gap tester off the coil and at the plugs
