    1993 MerCruiser 4.3L V6 RAN OUT OF OIL

    people wonder why I always watch the gauges. every 5-10 seconds i glance at the gauges knocking usually means a rod bearing went. if you are lucky and didnt take out the crank, I would invest in coated bearings. the coating will buy you about 30 seconds without oil pressure (long enough for...

    1993 MerCruiser 4.3L V6 RAN OUT OF OIL

    the oil pressure sensor is on the block up-high I take it you were not watching the gauges. the oil pressure gauge would have went low about 20 seconds before knocking knocking is bad. most likely your motor may be coming back out.

    Starter bolts Merc 260

    starter bolts are custom alloy, custom temper and custom knurled for a reason. if you want more room, swap out your direct drive 35# starter for a newer PMGR 13# starter. not only will you have more room, easier to get to, it will spin your motor faster.

    if the compressor is bad, just change the compressor and the h-valve and be done with it. go full R134. the condensor and evaporator dont know or care. the lines need to be properly crimped either way. since your compressor needs replacing. that is where the cost is to convert to do it right.

    No water out transom or exhaust

    Start at the impeller and work your way thru the system. And yes, impellers can toast within 20 seconds without flow. Even if you have muffs
