A long sad tale:
Repowered last year my Carver with twin 5.7 L Cursaders inboard Powerpacks, fresh water cooled with Walters v-drives. Manifolds and risers are only three years old.
Port engine hydrolocked up this Sept. and blew a rod. Discovered freshwater in several cylinders and wrong plugs in both engines (put in by the guy who repowered). After a nearly 6 week ordeal with mechanic and manufacturer, I had to pay (though still under warrantee) for replacement engine. Port engine now running fine. BUT, plugs in other engine were changed to AC Delco 41-993 platinum when the port engine was just replaced, and I now have had a problem with this engine with saltwater in cylinders and a locked engine. Plugs recommended by manufacturer are AC Delco 41-932 but I have been told that the new number is 41-993. COuld it be the plugs? Dieseling? (I didn't hear it diesel but I was told it could run in reverse if dieseling). Risers? Flaps? Engine was running fine before the plug switch. Gap is 60 thousandths. Any suggestions?
