"Hello all,
I have twin 5.7's. One was replaced at 1000 hours befor I purchased the boat. The owner told me the other engine tested fine so it was not replaced.
These are both FWC engines on a 27' boat. My question; What is the best way for me to diagnose the health of my older engine (1988). Compression Test? What should the results be? How do I do it? No noticable problems to speak of but I thought I might try to get a sense of how tired the engine is. If I come accross a good deal on a new engine I want to know if it will be needed or not. As always thanks in advance"
