"Joe" wrote Do you think he learned anything? shoulda installed an anti-siphon valve in the exhaust? Scotty Well I just came out of his engine room, Has water in the blower so we pull the injectors looking for water on the clyinder heads and to relieve any pressure. The engine is still froze up and would not wrench around so we pulled the inspection plates and you can clearly see the back 3 pistons gulped water. Most likely bent a rod and seized a piston, not a bad fix if the crank is not bent. He had a faulty flapper valve on the stern exhaust and only a 1 foot rise in the wet exhaust. So he needs to replace a few pistons and liners and connecting rods bearings ect.... if he did not bend the crank more than .0001 it should be an easy fix. It's a detroit after all. He also need to build a better, taller rise on his exhaust and get rid of that lubbery flapper valve on the stern. Joe |
