Another heat exchanger ?

[philbullet]

Is there a difference from a rear mount and a front mount?
The hose connection s look the same?

 

[Scott Danforth]

there are dozens of active heat exhanger part numbers for mercruiser (and multiples more of inactive part numbers) and most of them look similar. move a connection here, rotate a connecton there, etc. if your looking to replace a heat exchanger, replace it with the same part number.

 

[philbullet]

No replacement, none was on it.
Hard to no what would work and not.

 

[Scott Danforth]

if your putting a HX on a boat motor that has hours on it, you may run into issues. if you have run salt water thru the motor, the rust has already started.

 

[philbullet]

No new rebuild.

 

[Scott Danforth]

is this for the v6 in your sig? the alpha raw water pump will limit you to a half system (block and heads only).

 

[philbullet]

Yes it is, I didn't know that.So with a alpha water pump u can only go with a block and head only system?
Thats the info iam looking for because this set up is without it.
Also would I have to change thermostat housing and us block off plate on manitfolds?

I'm running a SeaKamp SK4802 (half system for V-belts). If you have a serpentine belt, use part number SK4806. The system has been flawless from day 1.

 

[Scott Danforth]

both seakamp and san juan make aftermarket kits that appear to work well.

 

[philbullet]

It's a v belt.

Here's my V-belt setup with the SK4802.

 

[philbullet]

Thanks, I seen shot it., look like u have ss manifolds, nice.

 

[Bondo]

and us block off plate on manitfolds?

Ayuh,..... Only if the manifolds are on the coolant side, which means a bigger heat exchanger,....

 

[Volphin]

The SeaKamp kit comes complete with a new stat housing and routing hoses for the manifolds, which will use raw water.

Can anyone tell what brand heat exchanger this may be and find a plumbing diagram?

 

[Scott Danforth]

What does it say on the end caps?

 

[Scott Danforth]

a quick way to mount that HX on your V6 would be using the 1" elbow on end from the raw water pump, the two 3/4" straights are raw-water out to your exhaust manifolds. the big drop tube would go to the lower radiator hose, and the short horizontal unit to the T-stat. The small line on the expansion tank would go to the lowest part of the lower radiator hose (fill line).

the following is a quick link that I found that should point you in the right direction.

Thanks, that the diagram I needed.
I don't have one yet, was just looking at some.

 

[Scott Danforth]

remember, in addition to the HX, you need the mounting brackets, a bunch of formed hoses and a new T-stat housing. in many cases it is much less expensive to simply buy the kit vs piecing the kit together.

I see that, also a recover bottle.
