    Mercruiser 160/165 cracked block

    Yeah, epoxy or 5200 Yes, plus your stringers as well probably. Unless you're a masochist, you dump the boat at that point and pay for one that floats and runs. What was wrong with the boat you pulled the engine from?

    Mercruiser 160/165 cracked block

    The issue is that when the transom rots it flexes, allowing water around that seal. You need to drill into your transom to check its condition. Basically take a ¼ drill bit and drill in an inch or so in multiple places, particularly down low and around the transom cut out. See if you get wood...

    470 3.7L Misfire

    So originally it was just 1 cylinder, but really you're having limited fuel in 2 cylinders. I'll change my answer and say carb could do that. What did the plugs look like when you pulled them? And my suggestion previously was to put the timing light on the misbehaving cylinder wire and watch for...

    Bad coupler, warped splines? Alpha one gen 1

    I mean, if it's that hard to get in there, how TF did you get it out? Is there a ton of grease in there? Did you verify nothing else in the coupler cavity? I don't know how the splines would warp--they're aligned with the shaft.

    Ideas for balancing 12' Fiberglass Boat

    Also make sure that the engine is trimmed down

    Does anyone know what this part is?

    Idk, I'd be nervous if I found a bone saw in my boat.

    470 3.7L Misfire

    No. Your carb dumps all the fuel into the intake. Wouldn't cause a problem on 1 cylinder. Agree that I'd pull the valve cover and check that you don't have any bent pushrods and the valves are opening correctly. I'd also reinstall plugs and put a timing light on it. Make sure you're getting a...

    Info on Mercruiser 0A494867 170Hp engine.

    Head over the restoration forums here. However, if you have rot around the engine, there's a very very high likelihood that you have rotten stringers +/- transom in addition to the floor. Unfortunately, this is a major undertaking. You may want to consider whether the boat is worth the...

    No base timing mode on TB IV, just set it at idle.

    2000 Sea Ray 5.7EFI alpha 1 gen2

    I suppose that the outer ring can't be the race since the rest of the bearing gimbals within it. I'll admit that I haven't disassembled one

    2000 Sea Ray 5.7EFI alpha 1 gen2

    IDK that it's bull. I've never seen a bearing replacement that didn't call for the race to be replaced with the bearing. They're always a matched set. Will it work ok without doing that? Maybe, but I've never seen an official source for any bearing that recommended mismatching

    What can cause this to shift bellows ?

    Yes, if your drive is trailered in that pic. The bellows needs to stretch as the drive is raised

    2000 Sea Ray 5.7EFI alpha 1 gen2

    Not exactly. More about which way the bearing should face, and the reason why mcm specified a direction. And specifically whether installing it "backwards" would have an impact on function

    Mercruiser 3.0 fuel delivery issue

    Not sure where you're putting the hose, input side of pump and then disconnected carb? And that flows, but when input side of pump is connected to tank it doesn't flow anymore? If that's the case, you have a restriction between the tank and pump. Either anti-syphon valve, in tank filter/sock...

    2000 Sea Ray 5.7EFI alpha 1 gen2

    But should be able to seat fully and will function normally either way with either bearing, right?

    2000 Sea Ray 5.7EFI alpha 1 gen2

    I thought they could be installed in either direction, but MCM specifies the direction so that you can't just remove the inner race and bearings, you need to replace the whole thing.
