    T&T leakdown tests

    The new bolts arrived today and will be installing them maybe tomorrow. Had considered just buying some from the hardware store that would fit, but would they be of the same strength as the originals? No way to know for sure so spent a little more and got the ones designed for this...

    T&T leakdown tests

    " and a dab of anti-seize on the treads would suffice no??" I will be doing that for sure. (y)

    T&T leakdown tests

    I agree with you, the bolts don't look bad at all. And the torque value is only 95 inch lbs or 7.91 ft lbs according to my Chrysler manual. There are 2 reasons I ordered new bolts....the first is I figured some of them would break or get damaged taking them out. Second, I read a LOT of old...

    T&T leakdown tests

    I really do feel lucky. After reading all the posts about the bolts snapping off and having to drill them out I was kinda worried about that. The one rust spot.....didn't see any signs of water or moisture in there when I opened it. Could have been like that for many years. Who knows.

    T&T leakdown tests

    Never really noticed it before, but after taking the trim cylinder apart I realized it is shaped just like the Chrysler Pentastar logo! LOL. Just a little Chrysler outboard trivia......

    T&T leakdown tests

    Yesterday did the LD test for tilt cylinder and it seemed ok. With the new VB the only thing left was the trim cylinder which has never been cracked open since new. Had sprayed PB blaster on the bolts last week and with a 1/4 inch 12 point socket they all came out fairly easy without snapping...

    T&T leakdown tests

    I have not done the LD tests since I replaced the VB. Good idea, will do that before tearing into the trim cylinder. The first time I did the tests it seemed like no matter what I did it leaked down so couldn't tell which component was bad. With the new VB maybe I will get better results.

    T&T leakdown tests

    It seems I spoke too soon about fixing my leak down problem. (n) After installing the new(rebuilt) VB it initially looked like it was fixed. But now it is coming down, although slower than before, and stops about a third of the way down, then stays pretty much there. Could probably live with...

    T&T leakdown tests

    FYI....found this mistake in my Seloc manual, their diagram for T&T line hookup is wrong. They have the first 2 inboard lines reversed. The black and white pic is the Seloc....color is from MasterTech site which agrees with my Chrysler manual.

    T&T leakdown tests

    Jerry, I gave it a shot but buggered up the first check valve by using too much heat. On my last attempt the lip holding the washers gave way and destroyed it. The left one in the pic. Since it was no good I said WTF and put it in a vise and used vice grips to remove the cap. The cap never...

    T&T leakdown tests

    Recently replaced the o-rings in my tilt cylinder as it was leaking around the top. The leaking stopped but now I have a leakdown problem. When fully raised the motor slowly comes down, takes about 15-20 minutes. I tried the tests mentioned in the stickies. The first test was for the tilt...

    Temperature Sender

    I am replacing the old temp sender and temp gauge with new Faria products. When screwing in the new temp sender should anything be used on the threads.....anti seize, pipe dope, teflon tape, etc? Or just install as is? I know there needs to be metal to metal contact to ground the sender so...

    Question for JerryJerry

    Mr. Jerry, was looking at a thread that was closed today for being over 6 years old and it had to do with timing. You showed a pic of your 3-wire plug grounding harness you use. Where the 3 wires come together there is a circle connector or eyelet. Where do you bolt that to to ground it...
