I just bought a boat with twin lehman engines. I live in south florida. what is the best oil viscosity to use? I believe it has 15W40 in it now.
Where can I get a technical and parts manual (I believe I would get the Sabre marine manual). |

what rpm does it go to at full speed, if it is propped for 2400 rpm you can cruise at 1900-2000 with no problems, i ran mine at 1950 all the time. some charter boats in queensland ran them at 2250 but i think that would shorten the life a fair bit. |

Can anybody tell me the correct headbolt torque setting and sequence for an SP 275 Ford Lehman 6 cylinder turbo that has blown 3 gaskets in a few months. |

How many hours can be expected on a SP225 before a major overhaul is needed. What cost should I expect for a major overhaul by a quality mechanic. |
