Are you saying that the engines that you just pulled and had work done to failed immediately after you reinstalled them?

I’m pretty sick about it not gonna lie. Gonna get them rebuilt and hope for the best this go around and just start from scratch. I’m tired of pulling them out and reinstalling with less than 30 minutes of run time each time….. on the bright side she did see the water for the first time since I “ think “ 2016 but this is as far as she made it but I’m glad I finally got to float it and do a systems check on the hull and leak test on her lol…. Got all winter now to make her perfect I suppose.
