    Installing Water Heater w/ closed loop 8.1 engine?

    The other Kuuma I included the part number on only has a cold and hot, versus the other one has a supply/return.

    Good deal, thank you. I'm assuming I would need this one : Kuuma 11811 ?

    Installing Water Heater w/ closed loop 8.1 engine?

    I'm looking for a bit of help on how to install a water heater with a closed loop cooling engine and what kind of water heater I'll need? I'm looking at two different Kuuma : KUUMA-11812 and KUUMA-11811 (The one I've replaced w/ water cooled engines) What would I need to install it and make it...

    Volvo Penta 5.7GXIC-J Misfiring/Black Smoke

    Good to know thank you for the advice, I also have 2 8.1s I have read that they have injector problems as well. It's always had non ethanol in it and so far I haven't had any issues. I guess it's time to return those eBay ones! Thanks again!

    Volvo Penta 5.7GXIC-J Misfiring/Black Smoke

    Even the eBay ones that are remanufactered with 2 year warranty are trash? I have some local guys who can clean and flow test my injectors. Their price was about $25 per injector with new seals. https://www.ebay.com/itm/223693107890 Here's the eBay ones I was talking about.

    Volvo Penta 5.7GXIC-J Misfiring/Black Smoke

    Will do, I'll get the cap and rotor changed out. It's pricier for me to get these injectors taken care of at a shop than it is to buy a set of reman Bosch ones on eBay with 2 yr warranty. Any suggestions on what's the best way to hook up and spray injector cleaner? I've used the valve stem...

    Volvo Penta 5.7GXIC-J Misfiring/Black Smoke

    Yes it's the flat style cap. It was changed out by the previous owner. It ran flawlessly prior to being put in storage.

    Volvo Penta 5.7GXIC-J Misfiring/Black Smoke

    I have an engine on a standalone tank and on a pallet I have running on non ethanol. I've changed out the fuel pump since it was shot to a Chinese one just to get it running. It cranks up and runs but misfires. It has all new spark plugs. The previous owner changed out the fuel rail and the fuel...

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GXI Fuel in Oil Runs smooth at idle

    Will do! Thanks for the link. All of the FPR on all of my GXI engines I ended up swapping out. I'm assuming the only way to really get rid of all the clogging up is to get the paint on the inside of the pump housing stripped off like your post said? This is an engine I'll either end up using for...

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GXI Fuel in Oil Runs smooth at idle

    Hopefully! Fingers crossed it does. I almost parted this engine out since I thought it was locked up and it ended up being a starter that was shot. Thanks for all the help guys! I don't typically work on much of these fuel injected engines but it's nice to have some advice on what to check and...

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GXI Fuel in Oil Runs smooth at idle

    Yes I checked and one injector was leaking. I changed it out and primed it a few times and there was no others leaking after a few minutes and I left it out a day and no leaking currently from it. I just reassembled it. Vac line from the fuel pump is dry as well. Fuel pressure regulator was...

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GXI Fuel in Oil Runs smooth at idle

    Not entirely sure how much I had to begin with in the engine. I recall it being more than the 5.5 quarts with filter if I remember correctly. Just to clarify by watery I mean thinned out to the point that it had the same viscosity as water when I poured out oil from the filter into the oil...

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GXI Fuel in Oil Runs smooth at idle

    Yes I extracted the oil and checked. I meant thinned out since there was so much gasoline. One injector I found was leaking on the port side. I squirted a good bit of seafoam deep creep oil in every cylinder hence the higher compression. I'm not sure what weight oil was in it before but the...

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GXI Fuel in Oil Runs smooth at idle

    There's zero water in the engine at all. I ran it two separate times. First time was half the run time. The oil was watery and smelled like straight gasoline, as far as any milkshake there was none. I sucked out all the oil and poured it out to check it. Even the oil in the filter itself was...

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GXI Fuel in Oil Runs smooth at idle

    Yes of course it's always connected to raw water. It's just strange that much gas was dumped into the oil in such a short period of time.

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GXI Fuel in Oil Runs smooth at idle

    Hi all, thanks for the advice and help in advance. I have an engine I had stored in the warehouse that's going to be used for a project. I ended up getting it to start and it runs good at idle. Compression all checked out around 180 PSI for all cylinders. I ran the engine after doing changing...

    2003 Four Winns Vista 268 No power to accessories, cabin accessories, etc. Gauges have power and engine.

    Yeah that’s what I did, right after that it tripped the ship system’s breaker which I somehow glanced over and didn’t flip back on. Stupid me lol. My gas fume sensor/gauge may be the thing draining my battery possibly. Everything else is swapped off and it’s the only thing that is on. On top of...

    2003 Four Winns Vista 268 No power to accessories, cabin accessories, etc. Gauges have power and engine.

    I reset all the breakers inside the cabin and the ones near the battery switch. Something’s been draining the juice out of the batteries. They’re hardly a week old. Where would the main battery fuse be? There was only one on one of the batteries and it was not blown. There are only two spots...

    I was changing out the shower sump on my cruiser and I tried to turn on the radio. No power at all. Radio is brand new. Everything else worked on it yesterday, I did accidently leave the battery switch turned to on yesterday and everything worked including the radio. I noticed my batteries...
