    Hello all! I have another question: A 2002 Crownline with a 4.3 merc & 1 piece manifolds - can i switch to 2 piece manifolds? Will they fit in? Or do i have to use some other? I think the angle from the exhaust elbow won't be enough to fit in. Any suggestions from the fellow iboaters? Thanx...

    Valve setting on a 3.0 Volvo?

    Hi again!<br /><br />Just a quick thought that a fellow IBoater named Ron brought up: I bought a new base engine last year from Michigan Motorz. It's a 3.0 GM.
