Hey guys, I just got a boat with a 1982 inline 4 80hp. I was told the engine is due for a rebuild but cannot verify. I have not had any time to investigate or start attempting to get it running however from a general inspection I did notice the flywheel has atleast .100" end play. Is this normal for these things or is that indicator of a bearing issue? I can see the crankshaft inside the flywheel and the complete flywheel/crank combo is moving not just a loose flywheel. It cranks over and sounds normal. Without investigating any further, my main question has to do with the end play. My first thing will be a compression check but I wanted to post this and see if I can get any info on the end play. The story I was told is the previous owner bought the boat and took it to the lake one time, said it ran good most of the day then he shut it down and it wouldn't start back. I cannot verify anything yet due to the fact I just got it today. Thanks allot.
