1442 acme....
Eric nice rig but I have to pass...Customs legislation burocracy prohibits the import of used engines....I tried with some forwarder and they all gave me the same answer.... No doubts I would have consider it in case of possible.. Much easier and cheaper than my ongoing rebuilt that so far I spent 2.2k in parts FOB....add to that 1k in shipping and import duties and another 1k on some labor and machining.....so I have almost 5k...  New engine here ready to drop in sells here for 10-12k..

what he means is... i got a nice pallet, took my primer to prime the pump and normally will crank the engine over cause the engine sat for a while....no turn, pull the plugs and 2 back cylinders have rust on the plugs
bust it down, off to the machine shop, Chess its going one of two ways, resleeving or he is pushing to go up .030 on all the holes which he said is the better way to go, slight delay, luckily the money Chess sent me is going to the machinist instead of the pissed off owner who doesnt like to cover the boat which he swears he did so, the moral of the story, if you werent from CCF, i wouldve sent your money back and you seem pretty excited about the engine I'll snap some shots to solidify my story so this doesnt get pulled out of context |

BTW, when i got up in the boat a month ago, with a jump box it clicked and moved just so i could tell the direction, i though the jump box was a little weak but all i needed was to bump it to tell direction. another day in paradise

whatever you think is best. Do I need to send you some cash for new valve stem seals? I figure while your in there, why not? Also, I wasnt going to say anything about the complications. You are a man of your word for doing all of this and it wont go unnoticed, especially on this site. thanks agian.

Funny you mention de valve steam seals, now while my heads are getting rebuild, my mech told the guy at the machine shop to skip the valve steam seals, he says those work good on cars when you brake with the gearbox and the engine keeps rpm loaded, then it's when the oil likes to go up. In a Boat engine that can not happen since you stop with the throttle and the engine slows down as well. what do you think?
Anyway a little oil over there wouldnt be too bad for keeping moisture away. |

No replacement for displacement! LOL If it were mine, it would be all fresh.
Eric, will you be able to run it on the stand to break in? |
