Lucky me. JR HOME PAGE: http://www.seanet.com/~jasonrnorth -------------------------------------------------- That's a lot of rust on that head. Other one look like that? That's what I thought......certainly makes think about whether this is common with I/O's. Never owned one, so I don't know. I believe he said he fogged it, didn't he? Not the ones I see. *But then I'm in "trailer boating in lakes" land here in Raleigh. *Might be sitting in a slip in salt water does it. *There is going to be one or two cylinders sitting with the exhaust valve open when the engine is shut off just about everytime. *If the boat sits in water then the humidity is going to remain high through the exhaust system so it will get high in the cylinder as well. *It's not specific to an i/o though, any boat with an inboard marinized auto engine is going to be in the same situation. |
