    ONCE AGAIN I NEED SOME HELP!!!

    Ok, now I do need help. The issue continues to be M/C 3.0/140. The initial problem noticed was oil blow-back through the dip stick. Further inspection found water in the oil AND visible water spraying out between the manifold and the head just aft of the #2 cylinder while the engine was at idle...

    Need Some Help!

    I?m sure this question has been answered somewhere, but I am in a pinch and need a quick answer. The kids want to ski!!! My Mercruiser 140 has a crack in the head and needs replacement. I have located an OMC 140; however, the ports on the head are not the same. The intake ports are not divided...

    Lack of Power-Tach Over Run-Lack of Power!

    We have an older M/C 140hp (mid ?70?s) that is now in a deck boat and has always run just fine; even to the point of being able to jerk our 19 yr/old our of the water on skis.

    Effect of Change in Outdrive Gear Ratio

    Not being a mechanical engineer, I need to seek additional wisdom. What effect on WOT and prop pitch should be expected if you marry a late ?60?s (1968) 120 Mercruiser power plant with a mid ?70?s 140 outdrive? I know that the original 120 stern drive (sr#2366557) had a ratio of 2.01:1, and the...
