I'm betting it's a little of both. You're reputation precedes you around here, and I kept quiet for a long time to see how this would play out. Like tommy, I had an engine do this to me. The Lycoming in my Mooney sat in a humid climate for several years without being run, it looked Exactly like this inside. Surface rust on timing set and distributor gears, crank counterweights, and the bottom of the cylinder bores are dead giveaways. Even the pushrod guide plates are rusty. If you in fact took this engine apart, and put it back together in this condition, I'm even more flabbergasted at your engine building "skills" |
And obviously and self respecting "engine builder" knows the difference between a gen V and gen VI, right????
That timing cover sure looks like a paper gasket gen V style to me. And no HP500 in 1994, I thought you knew all about merc engines??? Oh wait you only deal in 1000HP and up, you only bring your lowly 500s around here for charity for us poor oso members. http://www.mercruiserparts.com/selec...asp?type_id=8H |

I'm curious..... What Self Respecting Engine Builder , Would Reuse Bearings ??? From a BBC no less? Are they That Expensive ?
If you told me that , after I bought that Engine and it Blew.... I'd drive the 20 Hrs just to Beat Your Ass out of Principle ! 1994 Date Code Bearings , left dry , probably started to delaminate the overlay , and shed all of the overlay off . |
