Suggestions for replacing 5.7 V-8 Cracked Block
Thanks for the idea.
I was thinking the same thing - I read the policy and "freezing" was one of the first things they exempted. I guess they already figured out that stupidity is expensive and didn't want to participate in the repair expense. Have a great week. SBH "John" wrote in message om... "Scott B. Hogle" wrote in message ... As the subject line states, I'm interested in some suggestions for replacing the cracked 5.7 liter V-8 block in my 1997 Bayliner Capri. I failed to take the precaution of removing the block drain plugs before a cold-snap hit the Seattle area - my fault = my repair bill. I want to minimize the total expense, and I'm not opposed to using used or re-man parts. Could I just buy a block and re-use the crankshaft, camshaft, pistions and bearings? Would it be smarter just to buy a re-man shortblock and re-use the existing cylinder heads? Do I need to get a "Mercruiser" shortblock, or would any GM 5.7 shortblock work? Final question, how much should I expect to pay to have a boat repair facility "Remove and Reinstall" the engine. Thanks in advance for any ideas. Have a great week.
