Well, i found out the source of the vibration and knock after eliminating the gimble and ujoints. It seems to be the rear main or a rod bearing going out. My question is how would i know if the main bearing had spun or if it is just bad with the engine in the boat? Would a compression test tell me anything is regards to the condition. The engine is a new marine rebuilt that i have only put 15 easy hours on. 1995 302 ford volvo penta 2 barrel. I notice that the oil pressure will drop close to nothing after the engine heats up and the knock and vibration are soon to follow. The engine does not burn any oil. Any advice would be welcomed!
