I have most everything off , but when I removed the starter I noticed a little rust on the fly wheel. I was planning on leaving Trans and bell housing on for painting.
Question should I take them off or is the little rust normal-this has been sitting for a few years
Thanks

John,
Your plan on leaving the bell housing and trans on the engine is good. When the engines were marinized, and painted, that's how it was done so the flywheel never got painted. The only ones that did get painted were on older FWF (flywheel forward) engines were the flywheels were exposed. However, you may what to R&R the damper plate on the flywheel since you have the engine pulled. .

I think Pete just forgot to say it, but some rust on the flywheel is normal.

I'd probably rotate it 360 degrees by hand to make sure it's consistent and there's not a heavy rust line anywhere on the flywheel from having a bunch of water in the bilge for a long time while it was "stored" by the previous owner.

John,
When you go for engine paint, do get the engine primer. The primer makes a big difference in how the finish coat comes out.

I sorta thought that Pete and I sorta think that you don't know what John's flywheel is made of either

Unless you want to tell us all that cast iron and steel are the same thing. They're not a lot different, but they both rust.

You could also mention the 20 dollar cheaper version of the damper plate (ALTDA-106) that takes some trimming. You know, it's the one you used. Then you could tell him how you trimmed yours and a bunch of other people have done the same.

Here's a link about it in case you forgot

John,
Yes, there is a $20 cheaper version of the damper. I linked the already trimmed version after thinking it may be easier for you feeling you may not be equipped for it. Sorry if I assumed wrong.

Never assume --- I ordered the pre-trimmed version.

But question 2 does it look like I need a head gasket. These have been replaced, has new heads/redone heads.
Just worrying about all that rust below head

Here are a few thoughts

Picture 1....... only the previous owner knows if those rust streaks were there before he replaced the heads and he just didn't clean or paint anything.

Picture 2....... on the damper there's that ugly rust line I mentioned earlier meaning the water level was high enough to have your front seal on the transmission underwater for quite a period of time (and maybe the rear main seal on the engine too) Also a number of the damper springs were underwater for quite a while too, but you're already replacing the damper anyways.

Picture 3..........That distributor has at least a couple of problems

First, it's just plain ugly

Second, that big gaping rectangular hole in the body is where a vacuum advance mechanism once lived meaning it's an automotive unit that isn't spark protected.

Back to picture 2, the cement blocks look to be in pretty good shape

You might find some one with a bead blast cabinet and see if you can save distributor, but its gonna take some time, its not rusted yet but its on its way. Looks like you have some other parts that need it as well. Ford blue or silver NOT a chevy color please.

That would work with the right gear it's the Prestolite screwdown cap distributor that was used starting in 87 or so.

It comes without a cap or rotor, you can find them at SkiDim or you can go on EBAY and punch in these numbers for the screwdown cap and rotor

PCM RA108003 cap
PCM R103004     rotor

or

OMC 984401 cap
OMC 982880 rotor

A little shopping will save you some money

You'd need a Reverse Rotation gear since the one in the EBAY listing is for normal rotation.

The gear on your present distributor must be a RR gear that the guy pirated from the original Prestolite. The present one looks like an Autolite/Motorcraft distributor that has the same shaft size of .530 inches.

Before doing anything I'd pull the distributor and post a picture of the gear

Well, I suppose the 100% foolproof method would be to replace both of the head gaskets and both the front and rear transmission seals and the rear main seal or rebuild everything.

If there was no water in the engine oil or the transmission, the seals didn't leak so depending on how deep you want to go into things and how much you're planning on spending that would be something for you to decide.

See the separate post on the distributor.

Well I checked the casting # and the engine is a 94 not a 83 as I thought.
Good or bad -don't know

Well, the good news is the RR distributor gear should fit the EBAY distributor you linked. It may need to have a new hole drilled to have the gear at the right height on the shaft...... or it may be OK.

I'd make sure you can get it off with no damage before getting the other distributor

There's info about the height measurement etc. or you could ask here if you decide to go that route.

A 94 block will have a 1 piece rear main seal compared to the 2 piece you have now

It may or may not have brass freeze/casting/core/expansion plugs depending on where it came from.

I suppose you don't really know what you have inside that engine.

I don't remember, did this engine run when you got it?

That would have been the original 83 distributor.

You'd make Pete so proud, an original distributor complete with a set of points

Whatever you do, don't throw that RR gear on the ugly distributor away. They're scarce and getting scarcer

John,
I suggest a solvent like Toluene. It has great solvency and won't evaporate quickly like Acetone will.

Anyone else had this or do I have another problem

I say it's no problem.

Between taking it out of the boat with a tractor and setting it on wooden blocks and then getting it onto an engine stand, it probably got tipped enough to empty out the filter somewhere along the way

Also I don't know what you did to get the pan off, maybe drain the oil and roll it over on the stand to do it the easy way, but that would empty the filter out too if there was anything left in it.at that time

It doesn't have to tilt much to the right side to empty the filter. (at least the part you can see)

I have one on an engine stand that came out of a running truck and got jostled around some getting it out and onto the stand and that filter was empty when I checked it.
