Thank you for our reply. A new wrinkle has arisen. I started it up today and the water pump wasn’t working. I did pull the plug and it was wet but didn’t look any different than the other plugs. I tried to see if it was flammable. It wouldn’t ignite with a lighter … but the other plugs wouldn’t either. I first thought it was rings or the head gasket but the 140 PSI threw me. I got 30 years out of this engine so I can’t complain but I don’t like giving up. I’d like to know for sure if it’s done but I need to find someone smarter than me (the marina guys don’t even return my voice messages)…. or I may just take it apart as a learning experience but I’ll never get it back together.
It was a good engine up to 5 weeks ago… never left me stranded. 40MPH on my Bayliner Capri. Oh well, all good things must end.
