Now, since you have been a "professional mechanic" since you were just
out of diapers.... suppose you comment on the text contained in
Lycoming Service Instruction Number 1241C.... H-m-m-m-m-m????


I just looked in the bilge.....

Our boat has this greasy old Perkins 4-108 diesel tractor engine in
it....NOT a Lycoming air-cooled aircraft gas engine.....as is quoted.

Anybody got a Lycoming engine in their bilge?? Ain't that noisier than
our
Perkins??

I don't know why anyone would put a Lycoming in there boat. The Lycoming
engine is just a lot more money to start with. It doesn't run on diesel or
jet A, but runs on 100LL which is about 3.50 a gallon.
