I have a buddy of mine has a 1998 Volvo Penta 5.7 GS SX, He rebuilt the engine, stepped up the compression a bit.
The engine has been is service for a year with no issues, and runs great. (I also know that stepping up the compression increases your risk of water ingestion.)
Recently, after winter storage, he launched the boat and now she has a habit of "dieseling" after he shuts her down.
The engine has sucked water into the cylinders as a result. Forunately , he's on a lake, and removed the plugs and blew out the water. The engine is fine.
My question is, what causes the dieseling, and what to look for to prevent it?
Anyone with experience with this problem, I'd sure like to hear from you.
Thanks!
