    3.0GS MBYMCE Exhaust manifold leak

    Thanks all dodge , back on the boat tomorrow , however the rust in my mind is due to water leaking from the waterway across to the exhaust way. The upper route of the intake does appear to have water leaking into it

    3.0GS MBYMCE Exhaust manifold leak

    That’s part of what the problem Is there is no way to tell where the crack is or hole, it’s internal between the exhaust and water way, no cracking or anything that looks wrong where the manifold joins the head, except of course for the rust showing in the exhaust ports

    3.0GS MBYMCE Exhaust manifold leak

    Thanks for reply but what would that prove with regards to why these manifolds keep developing a leak from water way to exhaust

    3.0GS MBYMCE Exhaust manifold leak

    Again!!!!! Well in the last 5 years I’ve had to replace a leaking manifold! The second time the manifold was just within warranty. Now the last time I did this 2 summers ago I went for a genuine part for both manifold and riser. Yesterday I felt the boat start to idle rough after 5 mins or so...

    SX outdrive stuck or was now broke :(

    Hi yes I do and i have already released the jubilee clip . In the first drawing the number 5 could that be stopping the gear number 16 from being removed ? so as I see it if the spline of the uj shaft number 2 , slides in and out of the bearing number 16 the shaft must also be sliding in the...

    SX outdrive stuck or was now broke :(

    Ok after spending another morning on this I am convinced the uj drive shaft is not stuck. I can using a puller push the drive shaft towards the engine as the spline moves in on the large gear showing . I can then pull the spline back out onto the gear using the securing bolt. I cannot however...

    SX outdrive stuck or was now broke :(

    We removed the screw but tried to pull the gear but it’s holding firm, we tried to pull it using a bolt on the uj spline. The uj went in as we turned the bolt but the gear would not budge from position . We then pulled the uj back onto the gear with the torx bolt thinking it might move the gear...

    SX outdrive stuck or was now broke :(

    Thanks for that. I was thinking maybe I could drill Out and tap for threads into the cover. Then using stud and some Chanel and nuts/washers I may be able to use them as a puller to get it out. I am suspecting the jam is in the pivot housing with corrosion on the shaft cover rather than gimble ...

    SX outdrive stuck or was now broke :(

    We Jammed the out drive to the transom shield with timber and trimmed up trying to use the pistons to pull the drive shaft out of the gimble, obviously some thing else gave and something is stuck quite fast
