    Dp 290 aq271 allingment

    easiest drive in the world to align. following the manual. there are 3 places to measure between the PDS housing and the transom sheild. at 3-oclock, 9-oclock and 12-oclock positions, measure with feeler gauges. as long as the dimensions are within a 0.060" range (1.5mm) you are good

    1995 Volvo Penta 5.8 FSI

    you wont loose any power and you wont burn more fuel. EFI does not do magic. you actually get a higher HP peak with a carb, however for the most part, the combustion mix (compression, cam, heads, valves, etc) determines the power and economy. your fuel consumption will remain at 0.4#/HP/hr...

    Broken Spindle?

    maybe you should do some preventative maintenance....... its much cheaper than repairs

    Is this the aluminum head 470.

    since it appears that your existing boat does not have a motor, you would be better off with a V6 or V8 vs the 470

    Back to the carb...... after a bath of engine cleaner, then a hot water/simple green/dawn dish soap bath, followed by a vinegar and water bath...... the parts are ready for paint. prior to masking after masking and now in the oven to bake for an hour

    1988 Rogue 2420

    Why I hate EFI and hyper-complex fuel systems the carbon canister decided to rupture and plug the fuel well up. with a full tank, I resorted to using a primer bulb to siphon/pump a whole tank of fuel those are carbon pellets

    What´s the best replacement for AQ271C (or 570) 5.7 GM engine, ideally stroker?

    wrong style heat exchanger. you need a shell and tube heat exchanger. what you have shown is ok if you have filtered water with filtered oil. however would plug up in a week on a boat.

    What´s the best replacement for AQ271C (or 570) 5.7 GM engine, ideally stroker?

    someone added the flapper from a mercruiser...... throw it away, it doesnt belong on your 271C, its not needed on the AQ series

    Pontoon on blocks

    to get pontoons on blocks, one needs a scissor trailer. in the fall and the spring, a scissor trailer literally will print money. My bud puts in and takes out many boats on his lake with his trailer (along with docks and boat lifts). that is $100 each trip for a pontoon.

    Valve lash adjustment on Mercruiser 470

    you must follow the factory manual. setting valve lash on the stock ford head is exactly like setting valve lash on the early ford FE motors. with custom length push rods. the other option is to modify the head for adjustable rockers once you bend a push rod, its junk, it will re-bend
