"Gentleman ! im about to bring

"Gentleman ! im about to bring my boat out of the water after a very poor summer here in the UK and am taking the oppotunity to lift both my AQ130c,s out for a rebuild and refurbish. My question is based on how best to achieve a good rebuild (not being engine wise). Is there a set procedure or routine for rebuilding these engines, a sequence or an appropiate order that my engineer can follow ? e.g in which order is it best to complete the timming, idle, mix etc ? Ideally it would be great if we had a check sheet, procedure or in my case idiots guide we can follow lol ?. My big plan is to pass on both engines to a friendly machanic who between now and March can set about getting both these engines in good shape while i focus on refitting the actual boat (where my own skills lie). Any help advice or guidance will be greatly appreciated thanx to u all.

P/S ... it seems to me that with the total scope and content of this forum one could write a complete technical manual or at very least complete a technical datebase."
 
"I'm not one of the reside

"I'm not one of the resident VP experts here but starting at a very basic level I would not pull both motors out for a complete rebuild IF they have good compression in all cylinders AND good oil pressure. That's where I would start.

Both compression and oil pressure can be easily tested by any competent mechanic. If you've got someone telling you that you must pull your engines for a rebuild without first doing some basic testing, then I would be looking for someone else to do my work (unless you have a lot of money that you can't wait to spend). I'm sure others here will provide further guidance for you concerning your question."
 
Thanx Dennis ..... but in this

Thanx Dennis ..... but in this case ive got two sheared off bolts in the port side engine that need to be spark eroded out (tried everything else) and the starboard engine has water getting into the oil .... this is my only oppotunity to get both engines out and do everything in one go with a friendly machanic whoes not gona charge me the earth. Im just out to pick everyones brains as to making up a crib list specialy the more experienced here to aid a methodical and practical approach. I would look to complete what you have suggested at the appropiate time (which ide be interested to know is when in this case lol) ??? The first big challange ive got here is to seperate both engines from the (280) legs ? Many thanx for you input.
