A rebuilt engine?
February 4[SUP]th[/SUP]. I purchased a rebuild long block crusader 270 engine with a 7 year warranty from US Engine Inc. / Lake Washington Boat Center, Auburn, Washington. After having several issues with the engine I have it in my boat at dockside. I was in the process of installing my new exhaust manifolds when I noticed for the first time the condition of the exhaust flange on the #4 exhaust port of the head. US Engine says that this is just fine, I don’t think so and am not going to use it. Hence we have a problem between us. I will try to insert a couple of photos, What do you think?
Is this what to expect from a rebuild engine?
The 3 & 5 ports look great. The 4&6 port, with rebuild paint and then cleaned with a flat stone.
