This is hilarious - I had left a message for my NAPA guy, using the 14-1481 part number, and he called me back this morning wondering why I needed 8 crankshafts for my Mercruiser motor! I told him I was building up this monster inline-64 for a Guiness record attempt for most torque in an 18-foot bowrider!
Well You're Right,.... I must have miss posted the #,......18-1481 Is the # for the Cam Shaft,.....<br />I can't find the 14-1481 Crank Shaft listed.......
<br /><br />And,..... Ayuh,.... 18-1402 is the # for the Lifters, for All of the 4cyl. Chevies that merc. used, that NAPA lists......... <br /><br />Glad to hear things are going well. I'll be happier once I've gotten this dang valvetrain squared away. You and Don have been very helpful in my quest for correction of my mechanical issues, and I'll post updates on the couple of threads that I initiated to ask about the various parts of my combustion problems. I found that the exhaust valve in cylinder #2 was not burned, just stuck open, and now its lifter is collapsed, so I'm replacing all of them, flushing out the engine lube system and pumping in some fresh Rotella. Before the lifter collapsed, I got the boat underway nicely, up to ~4200 rpm/35 kts. Ah, well, what would I do with my free time without wrenching with one hand and shaking my fist at the motor with the other? <br /><br />Cheers - have a good weekend!
