Water or gas in oil Why?
Paul Cassel wrote: wrote: Just bought my first boat. Rusty thermostat implies no coolant / protectant which would further imply a cracked block. You may also have blown rings or valve guides/seals. How would one use coolant/protectant on an open system? It uses riverwater as coolant. Am I missing something? Wow this boating stuff is more involved than I could have thought. I did a compression check and that is fine. 175-165 so I think that lets out a head gasket. I fired it up after changing the oil and ran it for 30 min and then checked the oil and its fine. Something weird has happened or something I did caused this to happen I think. Someone said something about a flapper in the exhaust if stuck could see this when launching the boat and when coming off plane too quick (as I do). Any suggestions? |
