Re: Thru hull raw water Or you could use one of these

Been using my engine hoist for remove and replace the outdrive. It works pretty well but does not keep it level. Only used my engine stand a couple times and after seeing some of your drive jacks that got me thinking. Make 3 tools in one. Here is my engine stand, Drive Jack remove/replace...

Re: help with valves,i think I still don't know how you are determining if the cam/valves are moving. If the valves are not moving then my first question would be did someone install the timing chain and gears? If you don't know if the valves are turning, pull the distributer cap and...
