    Need help identifying which engine / oil tube

    Good point Droid, had similar thoughts about on trailer (where it lives now) vs level on water. Noted. I think I have a path forward to put a dipstick tube on the engine to monitor the level at least. Back to the ignition, and then hopefully I can leave you guys alone for a while. This...

    Need help identifying which engine / oil tube

    Friday update - I genuinely appreciate all the help so far. And, I'm still interested in understanding what combination of engine parts I do have. First a picture to answer kghost, and of course more questions... The intake manifold middle four bolts look definitely more vertical than the...

    Need help identifying which engine / oil tube

    I see, thanks, still learning. From the exploded views, the rear seal looks to be inside the flywheel housing, so no way to visually verify without a true teardown.

    Need help identifying which engine / oil tube

    Thanks again for all the feedback! I will take a closer look at those manifold bolts tomorrow and note the orientation. I am at a stopping point for the evening, but I have some more pics to post. For the rear main seal, I took a pic of the port side flange bolt, it is the same on the other...

    Need help identifying which engine / oil tube

    Thanks for the help so far! Here's a pic that I have readily available, with an engine cover that I don't believe is correct, maybe the original from 2000 (and no numbers on that cover). Also, a blurry screen grab with the cover off, but can't see the carb... I'll take some better pics when I...

    Need help identifying which engine / oil tube

    Hello all! I am not having much luck identifying the exact engine that I have. Just purchased the boat, I was told it is a rebuilt 5.7 from 2006, but can't find a serial plate in the usual spots. I did find some stamped numbers on the front of the engine on the machined flat surface, lightly...
