Hello I have a 1984 Formula 23SC with an I/O Mercruiser 228 5.0L V8. The boat was running fine until I notice oil/water mix coming from my bilge pump. At this point I knew I had and oil leak somewhere. I begin to monitor my oil more often and adding a quart every month or so (I use my boat 4 times a week). Now this is the big problem: The leak got worst, while I was in the water the bilge pump just would not stop pumping that milky stuff (water/oil mixture). I soon turn the boat on and head back to my marina. In my way back the engine felt jumpy and rough to the point that it just stalled and die. I then was able to turn the boat back on but at this point the engine begin to make a real bad clanking noise, I know at this point that I had no oil. I check the dipstick and it was completely dry plus it had water marks on it. I then pour a gallon of oil and still have no reading plus a lot more water marks on the dipstick. The oil leak is not that intense to leak a gallon in less than 5 minutes. I believe I have water in my oil and the mixture of oil/water in the pan does not allow me to get a reading on the dipstick. Is that possible? Long story I got a tow back to the marina. I did a compression test on each cylinder, see the results below:
Cylinder # 1 = 120 lbs
Cylinder # 2 = 125 lbs
Cylinder # 3 = 120 lbs
Cylinder # 4 = 120 lbs
Cylinder # 5 = 120 lbs
Cylinder # 6 = 20 lbs (problem cylinder)
Cylinder # 7 = 110 lbs
Cylinder # 8 = 110 lbs
Also when I remove the spark plug from cylinder # 6 the plug was smashed (like something hit it) what do you guys think is the problem? The engine turns on but with a clanking noise plus there is water in the oil. Please I need your help!!! What should I do first? I need a good affordable mechanic in the New Haven CT area.
Thank you!!!!
