"Hi everyone,
I am having a problem with my 1970's Chris Craft. It has dual Mercrusaders V6 4BBL inboards.
In the Starboard engine, I have a oil pressure of about 35. In the port engine the pressure is about 63. The starboard engine has a much lower oil pressure and it also smokes a little bit. The port engine does not smoke at all.
These engines have been sitting for quite some time - not sure for certain but i think about 2 years. I replaced the oil and the oil filters. i did 5 quarts in each and it looks to be right on.
on the starboard engine I also added Marvels Mystery Oil. 1 quart Marvel 4 quarts Castrol GTX 10W30. In the port engine I didnt use Marvel and only used 5 quarts of GTX of the same.
Does anyone know what to look for in this situation? Could it be that I just need to run the engines for awhile and let it work itself a little? How long can I run the engines out of the water? I have only been running them for about 10mins each. I have a hose connected to the intake.
What are your thoughts on the Marvel Mystery Oil?
What is the recommended oil pressure I should shoot for? also, one last question, what should my water temp be running it out of the water?
Thanks"
