Finally got things in order. I pulled the motor and definitely had bravoitis. New hose installed. Runs at 160 degrees now.
It seems the low compression issue was stuck piston rings. I had the motor out for over a month. Addressed other minor problems. Painted the bilge and did a thorough...
That's a good idea. I should do that. I did not have any kind of issue with my impeller though. It did not come apart and get into the system. But corrosion could be an issue. Once I pull the motor and figure out what's going on and fix all the issues I'm going to make a good post about what I...
Thanks. There is a lot of boat in the way. However the motor is coming out soon to address the low compression issue, I'll check bravoitis at that time.
Somehow I missed the first part of your reply. The water pump and impeller are new. I shouldn't assume but I think the manifolds are fine since they are full of antifreeze and they are only a few years old.
Thanks for the reply. Yes I thought the compression reading was a little high. But it was consistent so I went with it. Injectors are new. I did check the fuel pressure it was in specs, don't remember what it is, I do not have my notes with me. However I did also put new fuel pumps in it.
