"Both 270 hp Crusader engines
"Both 270 hp Crusader engines have 1500 hours and they sound and run good. The one problem
I have is when I start the engines they spit out oil or gas through the
muffler and into the water. It’s not a lot but it bothers me some, it tells me that
the engines need to be repowered or I just need a good valve job. I can’t tell.
Bilge is clean and free from gas and oil. I have a few small leaks in the basic
areas like the sea cock and where the steering shafts are but no indication that
there is oil leaking or gas leaking from the engines or from the gas tanks. Some
gas smell when I first walk into the cabin area but that goes away after I put my
blowers on.
Any thoughts"
