I have owned a 86 Sea-Ray seville for the last three years. Previosly had one owner who took great care of it. Last year when doing the winterization I noticed a small ehaust leak where the exhaust manifold bolts to the block. The engine is a 3.7L 170hp 4cyl. Here are my questions?
1.) Should I replace exhast manifold gasket asap?
2.) Is it a difficult job? I used to take apart my cars as a kid however cars these days I only change oil & filters.
3.) Any advice or tricks to doing this job?
On another note the previous owner changed the impellar roughly 5years ago should I replace again while I have part of the motor stripped down?
This boat has been very dependable I have changed the accellaretor pump in the carb, plugs, wire, points, etc. Still hesitates at times but I figure its age it has a right should I spend the money to replace the cab?
