    Reinstall SX M/ What O Rings/gaskets needed?

    Yes, where you drain the oil from. There is an overflow plug next to the shifter. To fill you pump oil in from the drain plug hole and stop when it comes out the overflow plug hole next to the shifter. Make sure the drive is level. The overflow and drain plug share the same size O-ring. The...

    Reinstall SX M/ What O Rings/gaskets needed?

    Typical seals to replace on the SX-M for reinstall are the drain plug, overflow, and dipstick O-rings and the D-shaped water O-ring. I'm not aware of a kit. If you're chasing water/air leak, check the plastic fitting on the other side of the D-shaped O-ring port to confirm the plastic nipple...

    Grooves on hub spindle

    Had the same issue on my trailer. That grooved area is where the rear seal rides. Research Speedi-sleeve and it will show you how to measure the diameter and what sleeve to buy. Be sure to use a gasket sealant under the sleeve.

    Raw Water System Cap Leaking

    Another way (better) to measure exhaust manifold/riser flow is to measure the temperature with an IR gun after getting fully warmed up and running on plane. They should be 110F to 120F, definitely under 140F. If one or both is hotter you have a flow issue. Others may chime in on what the max...

    Weight distribution on trailer bunks and rollers?

    What brand of trailer is this? Are the roller brackets mounted directly to the trailer frame or on to a large bracket that is shared with the bunks? I ask because my Calkins trailer has a teeter totter system that balances the load between the center rollers and the bunks. Either way, why...

    Source for Ford 5.0 EFI Stbd Exhaust Riser?

    Thanks Lou for the input. Are you implying that non-EFI Ford risers are more plentiful?

    Source for Ford 5.0 EFI Stbd Exhaust Riser?

    Thanks @ChrisinPHX, I didn't see that spendy new one. This shortage is making me wonder if I should consider moving to a GM motor with carb.

    Source for Ford 5.0 EFI Stbd Exhaust Riser?

    Thanks guys. I have a query out to 2040, but haven't heard back. All the hits I get on my internet/ebay search end up being out of stock. I've had two orders refunded. I'm going with what hopefully is a lightly used manifold/riser combo for now. Would it be beneficial to soak the lightly...

    Source for Ford 5.0 EFI Stbd Exhaust Riser?

    I need to replace my starboard exhaust riser and am having a hell of a time finding a new part online. Anybody have a source for a new 3855269 exhaust riser, or a great condition used one?

    Water in 4 cylinders

    @kingsfisherman , FYI. I just had a water in cylinder event (failed riser, hydro-locked with starter) and found over a quart of water in the oil. Make sure you change the oil and filter a couple of times, soon.

    96 penta 5.0 stuck in safe mode

    SAFE mode is driven by dedicated oil pressure and water temperature switches, not the sensors that drive the gauges. The ECM goes into safe mode when either of these switches goes to open circuit. They are normally grounded at normal operating temperatures/pressures. Find the sensors and...

    Pics of my prop hubs and gear oil. First time questions.

    Looking at the pics again, I agree with @dubs283. The gear oil looks normal. The oil is just a bit dirty.

    Getting Water Out of Cylinders

    Thanks! WD-40 will be easier to get in there than alcohol.

    Getting Water Out of Cylinders

    Thanks guys. I'll try the alcohol and just keep it lubricated and moving until my manifolds arrive.

    Pics of my prop hubs and gear oil. First time questions.

    Your prop hubs look fine. In addition to greasing the shaft, grease the inside of the hub where the splines are corroded. You have a mild leak in your drive. Water does not naturally get in there. You need to pressure/vacuum test it go confirm the leak location.

    Getting Water Out of Cylinders

    I had a water intrusion event on one side of my V8 due to a failed exhaust riser. I've pulled the exhaust manifold, riser, elbow, and exhaust hoses. I've pulled all the plugs and cranked the engine several times to get most of the water out. I used a shop vac with small hose to get more of...
