    Engine reconditioning

    Routing of the anti syphon loop needs to be different and it means making a mess of the woodwork. I have seen it on another boat if the same model and it’s not good and it’s not happening under any circumstances.

    Engine reconditioning

    Did all that logging last year. Ford don’t make that engine anymore and the BETA conversion that I have seen is not acceptable to me. There are more benefits to not changing the engine type than to changing the engine type That’s why I decided to stick with recons it’s not all about money...

    Engine reconditioning

    Engine is 30 years old. I have owned it 2 years. I have no idea how it’s been used prior to me. I do suspect low compression. I will get a a gauge on it soon. In the meantime I am doing my homework

    Engine reconditioning

    To be fair, my question was not should I recondition it or not. I was asking for recommendations on engineering firms who could do the job. So no other information was required

    Engine reconditioning

    Quite a few assumptions there fella. It’s blowing a bit of blue smoke at 3000rpm. It’s starting to use a little bit of oil. It takes about 10 seconds to start from tick over. Yes, I have bit of testing to do to Confirm loss of compression but it’s a possibility. The engine has done about 8000...
