Just had my glastron 249 /W a volvo penta 5.7 engine fully replaced with a new block, risers and manifolds.
At launch , mechanics kept the boat saying they had a vaccum leak. They later came back and said there was a hairline crack on the intake manifold but it was only sucking air, so they replaced the intake manifold and gasket , and I was all set.
I have had a good history with my mechanic for years , but business is business.... I want to trust, but verify.
I am not mechanical at all but it sounds too good to be true. what are the possible fallout items to a crack in an intake manifold and how would I check( or have a hird party person check) for. The motor has been run in salt water (for about an hour over 2 weeks .)( original launch was scuttled due to bad weather.)
)
I have visions of a milky oil or a failed engine in 30 days and me being on the hook for it.
I have not taken possession of the boat yet because of this issue.
