So basically after posting a thread earlier and after extensive research and some inspection of the engine I found what appears to be a cracked block. There is a serious crack in one of the exhaust manifolds and it drips water with engine off and POURS water while running. The other side is pretty trashed too. On top of that I saw what appears to be a crack in the block. I noticed rust colored streaks on the starboard side but can't really see a crack. On the port side I saw the same thing a little bit below the spark plugs on the block and a 3-4 inch wide crack that can be easily seen and felt by touch (about as thick as a fingernail).
I plan on replacing the engine, not like I have many alternatives. I'm trying to do so in the most cost effective manner since I already put more money into this boat than it's worth.
Can someone PLEASE help me. I'm really at wits end here and ANY and ALL help would be greatly appreciated. I'll give you any information I can. I found a reman'd block from a company off ebay with new pistons, bearings, seals, etc. for around 600. Shipping is my only concern.
Thanks for the help ahead of time!
