Hi all.....Just winterized the ol' sea ray and did a gauge check on the oil pressure while I was flushing the engine. I was told that these numbers where to low.
At idle 20-30 psi and revd to 2500 rpm and saw 40-50 psi. I am pulling the heads to have them rebuilt cause i think I have a broken valve spring during my last ride a week ago. Just wondering if the motor is tired? The compression checks were done through the summer and seemed good enough. Mercruiser has an offer for a drop in motor for $6300 turn key. Since I like the boat I don't plan on getting rid of it. Coin toss...rebuild or replace??? Everyones comments are welcome......
