Hi All, when looking for service parts for my AD40a engines I can't really find much online. Mostly only AD41, will these parts fit? My engines look like the one in the photo.
Which parts ?
The 40 and 41 used virtually idential service parts regards oil filters etc and any motor factor should be able to supply good quality after market consumables.
Pretty certain lubrication oil was the same grade (mineral) as well as capacities and alternator belt size was the same on both versions.
Crankcase filters the same, aftermarket filters from Ebay considerably cheaper than the VP versions.
The heat exchangers design changed as the power output from the block was increased.
Not sure that the impellors are the same on all the engines , think the later more powerful 165 HP used a bigger raw water pump with larger impellor. ?
The 41 apparently had a cylinder head redesign to increase compression and improve combustion....ie so as not to fill the marina with smoke on start up.
Some versions had some sort of electro mechanical design in the exhaust to reduce the smoke but these usually failed and owners simply disabled the flap ????
