    Water intake pump

    First thought is maybe the pump is sucking air on suction side and doesn’t flow til impeller is moving more. those temps are on the warm side especially the 180. Since you paid for the work I would discuss with the mechanic. Check hose clamps are ok and tight

    Knocking noise at low idle

    Can’t tell from the video if it is backlash in the gears or if it is play. Some backlash in gears is normal. With top cover removed the vertical driveshaft will move as top cover locates the upper bearing. With cover off there is only one bearing on bottom so movement is expected

    Mercruiser or volvo

    here is another reason why I like the merc alphas, assuming the boat is small enough (< 23ft/300 hp max ). replacement cost should you need a drive vastly different in the two drives. https://www.michiganmotorz.com/mercruiser-alpha-one-gen-2-outdrive...

    Mercruiser or volvo

    Matter of personal choice.if you like to maintain your boat yourself you need to buy rinds software or similar if you have injection. Many of us like myself have stayed with carbs to keep it simple. Not that injection is bad or overly complicated… you can rebuild a carb with simple hand tools...

    Mercruiser or volvo

    Both are very good systems with generally reliable long lasting power plants. Biggest concern you consistently hear is lack of availability of Volvo mechanics and parts. Depending on where you are or if u maintain your boat this may or may not be an issue. Bottom line either one with some...

    Toyota/Lexus Timing Belt Change Thoughts

    Yes it is a 90 k service interval if you can’t document it was done have it done as it is an interference engine. There is also a time component if low miles. Last time I had one done on that engine family I think it was about $600 including water pump tensioner pulleys etc. It’s not a bad...

    Changing manifold on a 2004 3.0.

    No one can currently post pictures so don’t take it personally. I think that hole maybe for pet of the throttle linkage on older models it sure it should go through to intake passage. Is this an oem or aftermarket manifold ?

    Impeller pump cover

    The gen one drives use a plastic housing When water flow is restricted it will melt everything in the exhaust passages including the water tube and impeller housing How long was it hot sounds like you split head gaskets or cracked a head. The overheat will void the warranty on the engine…
