"I am in the process of buying
"I am in the process of buying a used '99 Chris Craft. It has twin Volvo 5.0 with EFI. I was under the impression that the EFI would recognize the overheat condition and shut the engine down. The other wierd thing is that the alarm that was supposed to fire when the engine failed, didn't. I assume thats why the current owner didn't realize the overheat condition and shut the engine down.
Finally, on my 'sea trial' i noticed the port engines (the newly rebuilt one) idle oil pressure was 20PSI while the starboard engine was 40psi. Is it safe to assume that when the engine was rebuilt they used a different oil pump causing the difference in oil pressure?"
