![]() Does anyone have experience with V/P I/O Marine engines? I have a newly rebuilt '84 Volvo Penta I/O marine 350 in my 84 Bayliner. About 10 hrs on it since the rebuild. I think / hope that it was winterized correctly- oil change, ran anti-freeze through the system, etc. . When commissioning the boat a week ago, we checked the oil before starting it. It looked OK. After running the engine for about 3 minutes, we checked the oil again and it looked like a vanilla milk shake (water in oil!). I pumped it out, fogged it, pumped that out, put in 5 qts of new oil, put the ears on, ran it again.... Same problem. No freeze plugs popped. Do you think the block is cracked? If not, can anyone tell me what potential areas I should look at to find the contamination point (water leak to block / oil)? I only spent $3K for the boat and now have about $9K into it. It's getting frustrating. |
