I switch the necessary lower crank bearing cap onto the good block today.
Same bolt hole pattern, internal bore, bearing size, crank end play was okay, etc., but
the good power head crankcase doesn’t have the passages drilled
for crankcase drains that match up with the lower crank bearing cap, and
then dumps into the driveshaft housing. All three power heads I’m
working with are built within a year of each other I believe, but
evidently Gale made some changes. I hoping that not having the crankcase drains
won’t be an issue. Did the earlier models "load up" or something?
quote Buccaneer:
Managed to get the lower crank bearing cap off the Sea King, in hopes
that it will fit on the good power head from the non shift model.
Have to clean the good power head tomorrow before I pull it’s lower
crank bearing cap off. Still haven’t decide what to do about the 3/8″
stud holes, to make them 1/4″!
