I AM ABOUT TO TAKE MY TIMING CHAIN COVER OFF THE OLD AND PUT ON THE NEW ENGINE. VOLVO PENTA 1995 FORD 302 (CARB). IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT IS IN THE BEST OF SHAPE JUDGING BY THE OUTSIDE. HAD PREVIOUS OVERHEATING PROBLEM AND FOUND A BAD IMPELER, THERMOSTAT, HEAD GASKET AND STARBORD EXHAUST MANIFOLD. IT WAS CHEAPER TO BUY A FORD REMAN. MARINE ENGINE THAN IT WAS TO HAVE EXISTING ENGINE MACHINED, MAGNAFLUXED, HONED AND POLISHED. IF IN FACT IT IS BAD WHERE CAN I PURCHASE A NEW ON CHEAP! I KNOW THAT I CANNOT USE ANY OTHER KIND BECAUSE OF HOW THE RAW WATER PUMP CONNECTS TO IT. HELP!
