Checked all the leads for continuity to ground and the only one showing ground is the wire to the water temp sensor. I don’t see anywhere that it got pinched or damaged in any way. What’s my next step to finding the problem?
Here’s a pic. White arrow is the brown wire I was talking about. It’s actually brown with black stripe. Maybe the tan/black you’re talking about?? Purple arrow is the green and purple wires coming from the alternator. Not seeing any wires pinched anywhere.
I have a 2010 Volvo penta 4.3GL serial# A104925. product# 3869391. After having the intake manifold off and doing some work, put it all back together and the alarm is going off nonstop. Not a beep but continuous alarm while running. I pulled off the leads to the exhaust temp sensors, the oil...
Just an update. I ground out the cracks and jb welded them. Started it up and ran it awhile on the hose. No issues. Had it out on the water 3 times since and it is running great. Still no water in the oil. Hopefully it lasts thru the summer and maybe will get a new engine ordered to replace it...
Thanks for the lead. Just checked and they get about $1k more and they’re also over a month out.
Going to try the jb weld route only because it ran in this condition before winter. I’m pretty positive it was cracked when I bought it because the oil was milky right out of storage without ever...
I found a crate long block for about $2k after core but they’re saying 6-8 weeks out so I’m going to jb weld the crack and put it back together and see if it’ll last until the new one gets here. Hopefully it doesn’t throw a rod bolt thru the hull and sink the boat if/when it blows lol.
Well I guess there’s my answer... am I best to just replace the whole engine and keep my top end if the heads and manifolds aren’t cracked? Anyone know the best place to find a replacement block or whole engine? What’s my best play here?
There’s zero chance that water leaked into the engine from outside. I did poke the drain holes and make sure all the water was out. Except for intake drain which I didn’t know had a drain. Pulled the hoses off the water pump at the bottom as well. I put 3 gallons of antifreeze in it. Just kept...
Here’s the manifold gasket. The middle cylinder is the one that had water in it. Looks darker around the bottom half than the other two do.
Also, I’m wondering if the water/antifreeze under the valve covers isn’t from me cranking the engine after putting rubbing alcohol in there. I had the plugs...
There’s water droplets on the lifters and there’s water sitting where the red arrows are pointing. It’s probably antifreeze and not water but it’s definitely not oil.
