    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.

    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...

    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?

    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...

    heat exchanger dry

    2001 Tiara 3100 8.1 Captain's Choice, full FWC. I'm having an over heating issue on the port engine. Yesterday I popped the end cap on the HE to check for corrosion. I expected water and coolant, but it was dry. Not even a drip. It has sealed shaft coolers so I guess the raw water just...

    chrysler 318 intake manifold 4142022

    Is anyone familiar with the 4142022 intake manifold? I need to know the angle of the carburetor base, more exactly how high is the carb base at the rear of the base. The original was 1,15 inches, I need this much and a wedge will not work. Is this the replacement for the Chrysler 2846707?

    exhaust crossover

    I blocked the exhaust crossover on the manifold by packing it tightly with aluminum foil. It has worked fine, runs great as before. Now I am going to install a new manifold and would like to block the crossover more permanently. I understand welding is problematic on cast iron. Any ideas...

    Intake manifold exhaust crossover

    Hi, I'm new here, first post. I've developed the heat issue on the intake manifold on my 1980 F25 with LM318. I've read about closing the exhaust passage, without welding or a gasket set with the metal plate, how can I seal the passage? Also, where can I purchase the 1/4" carburetor gasket...
