    Outdrive leaks, but holds pressure

    I drained it, and pinched the hose right before the engine bay reservoir. Guess will have to do another pressure and vacuum test. In your experience, if oil is leaking behind the inner prop...just a few drops. Cold this be the main seal on the bearing carrier? Ty, for the info and quick reply

    Outdrive leaks, but holds pressure

    2006 Bravo3 I see a small amount of water at the bottom of lube reservoir, maybe a tablespoon. Drained all gear lube, tested pressure. Had it at 10psi for 1hr. Added gear lube, took it out for about an hour trip. After a few days of sitting there's a line of water at the bottom of reservoir...

    New Heads - - Now runs like a steam locomotive

    Thank you Ran the motor on the hose today for about 20 minutes. Reved it to around 3000rpm a few times. No knocking, starts right away. Didn't have time to put in the water and run it under load, but because it sounds so much better, I think it will be fine. Thanks again for helping and sharing...

    140s and 150s Any idea how many times you can remove/install the rocker nuts before they need to be replaced?

    New Heads - - Now runs like a steam locomotive

    Problem solved, engine started up and running smoothly without any nocking. I think I may have been the one at fault for the issue. When I was adjusting the valves I got a phone call and I think I missed tightening a couple of the rockers. As you can see on the photo, I got lucky that nothing...

    New Heads - - Now runs like a steam locomotive

    Plugs were a bit wet with fuel, nothing bad Firing order is correct, I had labeled all wires before disassembling Inspection camera showed no signs of water, cylinders were clear. Here is the compression results 1 = 135 2 = 100 3 = 135 4 = 150 5 = 135. 6 = 150 7 = 140. 8 = 100...

    New Heads - - Now runs like a steam locomotive

    Forgot to add a couple more detaiils. Oil pressure, water (coolant) pressure, voltage and temperature all normal. The other odd thing, was as soon as it cranks, it made a screeching noise like the belt was slipping. Thank you

    New Heads - - Now runs like a steam locomotive

    2006 Mercruiser MPI 5.0 -- 450 hrs Salt water cooled Boat has twin engines. At the beginning of the season Port engine #2 cylinder had water in it. Turns out it was the head, it had a hole in the water jackets right around the seat on the exhaust port. Replaced heads and it's been running fine...

    water in cylinders and oil - MerCruiser 5.0 MPI -- Need help finding culprit

    Just wanted to thank you all for all the information and help. Without you all I may have given up on this motor. I can turn the wrenches, but I don't work on engines very often. Last time I messed with these engines this deep was about 6 years ago. I'm happy to report that the motor ran great...

    Engine won't START - Need some help

    Just wanted to say thank you all for the help. So, turns out I was pretty close on the setting of the distributer, but not good enough....LOL Also, somehow while putting the new heads on and working on the motor, the raw water pump/impellor got reversed, (no clue how) and because it was dry, it...

    Engine won't START - Need some help

    Bt Doctur Ok I think I got the correct information...it's already too late and I'm frustrated with this engine, so I will TRY to get some sleep and start over in the morning. So, since my engine is a V8 which I now understand, uses the same Distributer (not same cap) as the 4.3 V-6 engine. I...
