Would a leaking rear seal be expected with 450 hours? I guess it is 20 years old… what else should I be looking at before the motor goes into the boat?

So... pulled the coupler off - the one that was bent - and while I was there, I figured I might as well pull the flywheel off and look at the rear seal. To my surprise, it looks like it has a slow leak. I had already wiped off most the oil before I took this photo. Assuming I should replace...
Any thoughts on if having run it without the positive wire connected may have damaged the alternator electronics... exciter and ground was hooked up, just not the positive charging (heavy) wire. I would think with no load, it is just free spinning, but with all these newer electronics, I don't...
ok, took the flywheel housing off and ran the motor, flywheel is running true, didn't put a gauge on it but I don't think there is a reason to, it is good, I did use the slow-motion camera again, the wobble in the coupler is obvious, the flywheel is true. I think if I had realized the coupler...
Hi all, want to make sure I am not missing something with an alternator hookup on a 2006 Volvo Penta 5.7 Gxi-g. This is a pulled motor, not in a boat, the orange wire (heavy gauge) that is part of the main harness is cut at the alternator but is attached at the starter, and the is continuity...
The drive shaft pulled out, and from what i was told, the outdrive was undamaged, just the transom attachment, so the shaft wasn't bent, I do have a photo of that, and the outdrive. I have no idea what condition the gimbal bearing or surrounding structure was in.
Unfortunately, I don't have any history on the boat this came from, it was pulled from a boat that was in a road accident, trailer went off the road and into a ditch, boat came off of trailer, the outdrive separated from the transom at the top pivot, I assume from the inertia of being thrown...
Yea, Scott D said the same thing, unfortunately, the center is moving just like the outside rim, and I can see that in the video also. I am surprised though, with my alignment bar, that I can move the coupler hub about 2 inches at the end of the bar with about 10-20 lbs force, that equates to...
All, sorry if I wasn’t clear in the original post, the motor is NOT in the boat, so I have full access to work on it. I was wondering if anyone had seen this wobble of the coupler on their past experiences, and what was “normal”. Since the engine was from a boat that was involved in a road...
Scott D, Thanks for your insight, So, I am pretty sure this would be the original coupler, as it doesn't look like the bell housing has ever been removed, I guess the best thing to do is remove the bell housing so I can really see what is going on and spin the motor. Any tricks to removing the...
I picked up a VP 2006 5.7 GI motor with the intention of putting it in a project boat…it is in great shape, however… the engine coupler is “wobbling”. When I measure the runout of the coupler HOUSING (not the spline, but the outer metal housing, on the diameter, at the aft most edge, measured to...
All, thanks for the replies, it was the rings that go between the actuator body and the fitting that confused me, for some reason I was remembering them on the hose side. Compression fitting, no oring, got it, thanks.
As for the leaking actuator, yeah, the last new one I had installed lasted...
quick question, on the SX-M type drives, for the steering actuator, do the two hoses attaching to the actuator have o'rings or are they compression fittings?
Thanks
