Meanwhile, pictures would be great since there is no Volvo Penta 290 SX drive, and in 1984 your PDS bearings offer a challenge to you.I am new to boating, just had my vovlo 290 sx drive pulled and in for service. I noticed a whirling sound from the fly wheel area when the engine is running. The pds has some up and down play in it.
Is my bearing(s) in need of replacing. And just to check if the noise is in deed the bearings, can i pull out the pds and run the engine with out doing any harm to see it the noise goes away. Thanks
Hey, don't feel badly at all.I feel like an idiot, how do i start a new thread
