hi, bought this 1990 pursuit 2650 two years ago. has a 454 330hp bravo gen vi engine in it.I never checked oil as dip stick was broke off. Haven't put it in water since I've had it. Just winterized. Ran it on muffs yesterday for maybe
be thirty minutes and checked temps at risers and block etc.. with highest temp around 160.Had got a dip stick and inserted it to find oil almost white. Engine was running great. Recently replaced the seawater pump/ fuel pump that's belt driven along with separator filter. fuel pump went out and took impeller out too. Dropped lower unit thinking it had an impeller down there, but it didn't. What I did find was what was left of the water flaps. Couldn't find a plug on oil pan to drain, so I bought a vacuum pump and stuck it in dip stick tube. I'm sure I didn't get all the bad oil out, but got most. Put new oil in and ran it for thirty minutes today. checked oil, and it still shows water. just not nearly as bad. Want to change it at least one more time and see if it clears up any more, or gets worse. Hoping the missing flappers had something to do with the water. grasping at straws...lol Pulling the plugs and looking for washed plugs might tell me if head gasket is blown before compression testing it wouldn't it? How about oil cooler? heat risers too. Your thoughts would be appreciated.
