    Removing a 351B engine to repair a rod knock: Coral Restoration Foundation

    Today I got a call from the CRF, Coral Restoration Foundation, to come and listen to their boat. They have been told that their engine is "blown" and Ken wanted me to come down and give a listen. I first checked the oil level and we had to add a couple of quarts. However, once started, the knock...

    Loud Exhaust...

    I finally have all the kinks worked out of my 3.0 l engine. I put in a marine circulation pump, remade the bracket for as well as rebuilt the raw fuel pump and even replaced/torqued the loose bolts on the flywheel. The engine and outdrive are running smooth and quietly. Still, the exhaust is...

    Overheat on my 3.0l...

    Re: Overheat on my 3.0l... Pulley Alignment It did great and no annoying howling if I go over 4K... in fact I had it over 5k and all I heard was a bit of noise coming from the alternator. Yep, you guessed it. It's out and apart. The rear needle bearings are dry, but they haven't galled the...

    Overheat on my 3.0l...

    Re: Overheat on my 3.0l... Of all the pulleys I have asked about on EBay, none are acceptable... not even close. I welded the center in the pulley today and checked the run out with a dial indicator after I mounted it to the pump. I have about 0.014" lateral and 0.021" axial play. That's less...

    Re: Overheat on my 3.0l... The actual rebuild of the pump was simple. I sent a message to SherwoodPumps.com and got an immediate answer. He sent me a picture of several pumps and mine was right there. I went to NAPA with the list and he had all the parts in stock. All of them except for the...

    Overheat on my 3.0l...

    Re: Overheat on my 3.0l... One final thing. The pulley may be salvageable. The broken center fits perfectly into the pulley and I think that I could weld her right back in with no distortion.

    Overheat on my 3.0l...

    Re: Overheat on my 3.0l... OK, the pump was easy to disassemble and I need one bearing and one seal to put it back together. I found the bearing easily as the part number was on the old bearing. 6204.RS is the number and a quick Google search shows it will only cost me about 2 or three bucks...

    Overheat on my 3.0l...

    Re: Overheat on my 3.0l... Bad Impeller! OK, I went back in and found that I could turn the pump easily by hand. Way too easily! When I pulled the back of the pump off, I found the key sitting on top of the impeller! :D So, I tried several times to get it back in, but the key was always...

    Overheat on my 3.0l...

    Yesterday, I was cruising just west of Garden Cove here in Key Largo heading to Cary's Ft reef for some diving. The boat was doing great thru the back channels from Pennekamp park, and we were just in open ocean doing about 25 mph @ 4,000 rpm with I hear a change in the timbre of the engine. I...
