Nice save
I've already split risers and mixers from exhaust and yes they were an absolute c***. Got one off conventionally and the rest with oxy and cutting off. Two snapped and one needed helicoil. Where did you buy the parts for the exhausts I've seen a few good sites but I need a comprehensive site to order everything from as this is going to need most accessories. |
Little FYI - you might already be aware but I think it's interesting -- The gear vs chain driven cam is due to the reverse rotation. In order to use the same camshaft and valvetrain in the reverse rotation engine, they use a gear instead of a chain. Chain allows cam to spin in same direction as crank. Gear reverses the direction from the crank.

I'll have some photos up later this evening, please keep the info coming:cool-smiley-011: |
Cams are the same. Crank runs in reverse in the reverse rotation engine thanks to timing gear instead of timing chain.
Timing gear takes reverse rotating crank motion and makes a standard rotating cam. Starter is reverse rotation. |

Got engines up on crane and drauned the sumps. Unbelievable amount of water in each engine. The tub pictured is full of water.4 https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...af7155fa95.jpg Turned over and sumps off, 4 bolt mains and oil baffels https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...807996b366.jpg This baffel has been curled over by hand I believe it was to accommodate the sloghtly narrow sump (two marginally different sumps) https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...79b569c4e7.jpg Syarted taken pistons rods off, pistons are siezed bad and cant just knock them all out, need to be close to TD or BDC. Will be a long process getting them all out. Really happy with the condition of the bottom end, if you zoom in you may even see the engine assembly lube in crank oil feed hole. I dont think this engine has been run much past a rebuild. Sprayed the lot in crc and got stuck into the beers |
Wow

Gear driven Cam. Getting them up in stands tomorrow and hopfully pulling crankshafts. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...7142925b4a.jpg Chain drive https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...ca1cc2d969.jpg Seized flexplates. Only way to remove was to remove studs and spin flywheel housing to access bolts as engines still siezed. |

My brother ended up wanting to keep the boat on a trailer so decided to do outboards sold all parts for 100% profit, not sure if it covers my efforts but alas was a good experience. |
