    Gimbal bearing lubrication without zirc fitting

    Ok so follow up question that might be dumber than my previous one. Is it possible to add the grease tube and zirc fitting in order to make the gimbal bearing lubeable? Im already going to be in there so just wondering.

    Gimbal bearing lubrication without zirc fitting

    Yeah i knew the answer before I asked the question. But I had to ask. Just sold my 84’ model Merc with original gimbal that I’d greased annually. My 07 appears to need replaced. Glad we found a “better” way.

    Gimbal bearing lubrication without zirc fitting

    Hi all, My Volvo SX drive on 07 Hurricane has no zirc fitting to lube the gimbal bearing. I’m planning to pull the drive for routine service and want to know if I can manually lube the bearing by hand? Thanks

    I’m afraid to run it on muffs out of the water. But if it were clogged somewhere wouldn’t I have cooling problems in the water?

    Ok got it. I just can’t understand why I can’t get pressurized water up to the impeller. Even if I squeeze the muffs together by hand. It’s almost as if there is a valve in the circuit that doesn’t open until the key is on or something. ??

    Ok so i put full pressure water on the muffs. Made sure they were sealed as well as possible over the intakes of the drive. And I pulled the corresponding hose off the impeller inside the engine bay. No water at all. So now I am officially thoroughly confused. Also, with hose pressure on the...

    ? Not sure how to do that, but it runs ok in the lake so I guess it’s not obstructed.

    Yes it’s possible that flush pipe has a check valve. That would prevent flooding the boat it the cap weren’t sealed so I think that’s plausible.

    So I connected hose water to my old Merc muffs on my VP SX drive today and turned the water pressure on full blast. It was spraying like crazy around the outdrive. So I took the cap off the engine bay flush connection expecting to get hose water coming out. Instead I got nothing. All that water...

    Parts lists with part numbers

    Yeah that website works pretty well. Whats the best source for actual OE Volvo parts? I’ve learned over the years to stick with OE parts.

    Parts lists with part numbers

    Actually the Volvo site below points to part number 3817287. Im also looking for tensioner and idle pulley and I’m not confident in the part numbers. They give a diagram with all the parts numbered, but no reference to look up those numbers. Very frustrating.

    Parts lists with part numbers

    I agree with ESG, it used to be easy to drill down to the part you need with the old iboats interface. But now it’s not that simple. Other sites I used to use don’t seem to be there anymore either. Scott thanks for that website. It’s a bit clunky but better than nothing. That’s the new and...

    Parts lists with part numbers

    Hi I’ve got a 2007 5.0GXI G and I’m having trouble looking up my serpentine belt part number. My shop manual doesn’t list any part numbers. Is there a separate manual or reference somewhere to easily look up part numbers for a model year or serial series engine? Thanks

    Standard US sending unit resistances

    I don’t believe so. It has the temp sender in the rear port head. I’ll probably have to change that when i switch to Sierra gauges.
