Fitting 2 x new transom assemblies. So the engines (4.3 MPI) come out tomorrow. What other things should I do whilst the engines are out? Here is my current list: - fully clean engine bay and remove all stains and marks - rust convert all engine parts and engine mounts that have surface rust - look closely at the starter motors - replace hoses on engine in the hard to reach areas - pressure check the steering cooler - fit new transducer Other good ideas while we have them out? |

When were your manifolds/ risers last inspected? Clean the bilge pump screen? Replace spark plugs? |

Look carefully at the engine oil pans, inspect for rust and treat/paint any found Check connection between dipstick tube and pan for oil leaks Check front and rear crankshaft seals for leaks Check coupler splines for wear Check Y pipes & gasket between transom mount and pipe for corrosion and leaks. Check power steering actuator for leaks |

Engine and bay inspected. Transom is in great shape with no water ingres or damage. Looks great even after 10 years. Engines still look in great shape. Will put in: - 1 x new starter motor on port side - precautionary, the old one looks very jaded - replace sump gasket on port - small drip - 2 x new bearing and shaft kits for water pumps - change plugs, oils and impellors - replace 2 x water hoses and a bunch of clamps on the rear side of engine that are not accessible when installed - 4 x new engine mounts - clean engine and rust treat any bare surfaces |
