I just picked up a 1989 Centurion with what I think and was told was a Ford 351w??
Second, I notice a freeeze plug is missing and one is near completely pushed out...
Can I expect for sure severe engine damage such as crack? Will a compression test show a crack by having low compression?
Where is the hook up for a hose when not in the water to test/run the boat?
I plan to replace the freeze plugs with brass ones and keep my fingers crossed that the motor isn't toast. Oil looks clean and not milky, but a bit over the full mark on dipstick.
Any input please help, I am definately a newew boat owner have only had one other boat and it was a basic outboard.
