    popping through exhaust

    I have a pair of 454 crusader engineswith Edelbrock carbs 1410. My stbd engine recently just started torandomly pop through the exhaust. I haven't taken it out and put itunder load yet, but at the dock I've revved it up to about 2200 rpm. I've checked simple things like loose plugs or plug...

    Onan 6.5 genset spark plugs

    I have an Onan 6.5 gas genset. It's in a 1985 Trojan but on the original bill of sale of the Onan genset there is a stamp saying Sept 1984. I'm having trouble starting it. I think I've narrowed it down to a fuel issue. It turns over fine and if I pour gas down the carb it runs until that gas is...

    Moving the engine seacocks

    I have a 1986 Trojan 37 Sport Sedan. The engine seacocks are in a very strange place, aft of the enginesalmost right against the aft engine room bulkhead. You can't accessthe seacocks unless you lift the floor over each engine to get atthem. The genset sits between the engines so there is...

    special nuts required or not?

    So recently I've had a thread posted here about my 454 crusader exhaust/heat exchanger issues. This issue is part of that but very specific. I'm curious if anyone has had to deal with it. The nuts called for that hold the 8" elbow (cr-20-97169) ( sierra 18-1916) to the exhaust manifold are 3/8"...

    why use brass nuts?

    I'm curious why there are brass nuts on the mounting studs for the risers on the exhaust system of a 454 crusader engine. The exhaust manifold is cast steel, the 9 3/8” X3'8” long stud ( 4 for each exhaust manifold ) is stainless steel that screws into it. Then the 2” thick water adapter...

    454 crusader exhaust gaskets confusion?

    I removed the exhaust system ( bothsides) on my 1985 454 crusader port side engine to have them boiledout because they was clogged solid. It was so bad that I couldn'tget the individual pieces apart so I took the whole assemblies (leftand right side) out in one section right up to the rubber...
