    Exhaust elbow temperature

    I changed the plugs, both sides are running at the same temp (155, should be 165) with the temp gun. Apparently there was a misfire involved, therefore 'lack of heat'.

    Exhaust elbow temperature

    I agree. I'm going down tomorrow, I'll check the exhaust manifold while its running, it has to be hot if that bank is running properly. If not there is, as you say, another problem. Thanks, again.

    Exhaust elbow temperature

    You are correct, thanks for reminding me. But what would cause one elbow to be at normal temp and the other at much lower temp.

    Exhaust elbow temperature

    I did check the temp at different points and checked the thermostat which is functioning. My thought is that there is an obstruction probably in one of the hoses, I will check this as it seems probable. The level in the bottle is on the full line but I will check this one further. Thanks for...

    Exhaust elbow temperature

    Launched two days ago. Both engines started right up but letting them warm up the port was normal, the starboard would not come up to temperature, 140* instead of 170*. The right exhaust elbow was normally warm but the left elbow would not warm up. Tried again yesterday, same result. Any...

    dipstick adaptor elbow

    2001 8.1L is leaking oil at the crankcase from the dipstick adaptor elbow to the crankcase.. I removed the elbow, it is very different from the current one ie R024017. Has this part been replaced with a different elbow? The thread going into the crankcase is tapered and fine thread.

    Generator exhaust hose repair

    The wire reinforced exhaust hose from the generator has deteriorated where it attaches to the thru hull, about 4 inches of the hose, the rest of the hose seems fine. Is there a way to effectively patch the hose? Replacing it would be a bear the way it is routed from the muffler up inside the...

    Is it possible to replace fuel pump

    2001 Tiara 3100 Open 8.1 Crusaders. Is it possible to replace the low pressure fuel pump on the port engine without pulling the engine?

    fuel pump not pumping

    Launched the boat, 2001 Tiara with 8.1 Crusaders, half way to my dock, about 100 yards, the port engine died. Would not restart. Checked the fuel line-no pressure. The fuse was separated. How do I check to verify it is the fuel pump and not a short to ground and if it is the high pressure pump?

    Starboard alternator over charged

    First time out since launch the starboard alternator was over charging @ 16+ volts. Returned to the dock checked all connections were tight, gauge was accurate. Restarted it several times, same problem. On the fourth start the charging rate was correct and for a couple more starts. I have a...

    Rotella T6 synthetic oil

    I've been using Rotella T5 15w-40w synthetic blend in my 2001 8.1s, works great, pressure is more stable than the 10w-30w oil that was in them when I bought the boat. I'm thinking of going to Rotella T6 5w-40w full synthetic, any comments. Crusader says synthetic is okay to use, just wondering...

    Check engine light @ 3,000 rpm 8.1

    Crusader 2001 8.1 450 hours. Starboard runs great. Port runs fine 'til 3,000 rpm then check engine light and alarm go on. Stop the engine, starts right up, all gauges are right on spec. It happened last year then I cleaned the grounds and filters and it ran fine. Took it out this year and...

    uneven fuel consumption 2001 8.1

    2001 Tiara 3100 with 8.1's, 400 hours. The port engine uses more fuel than the starboard. I ran a scan on both engines @ 3200 rpm. Other than fuel flow rate 15.00/14.58 and throttle percentage 44.3/39.6 the only difference is IAC position 215/152 and IAC follower 137/121 port/starboard. Both...

    check engine light, no code

    2001 Crusader 8.1, engine starts, runs fine until @ 3,000 rpm or more the check engine light and buzzer turn on but does not register a diagnostic code. If I turn the engine off it starts right up and there is no warning light or buzzer until reaching 3000+ rpm again. Engine temp and oil...
