Bravoitis or deeper overheating issue

I have built a spreadsheet based off of the service manuals I could find, and have broken them down into systems, as well as simple general maintenance. If anyone would like a copy to build off of for your personal use, I’m more than happy to email you a copy. Let me know!

I know this is an old posting, but I would love a copy of the spreadsheet you mentioned.

If he doesn't get back to you, I have one also. It has a ton of part numbers for normal parts replacement, too, based on a Gen 4/5 7.4L Bravo

Ok all, after much trial and error, and a lot of troubleshooting, the new mechanic found a hairline crack on Cylinder 7 (Cracked block). Can't say this was the culprit of the overheating, how long it has been there, or (most likely) if this was simply the cause of the block overheating. Either way, it has made my decision easy and I have to replace the motor.

I have about another 3-4 weeks until the install is complete. Whole new engine, risers, manifolds, etc. so if the overheating issue continues, the only remaining factor that hasn't been really touched is a clogged or crap install of the through hull. For anyone interested, the cost of the new engine and labor was just shy of $10K. Obviously, this may be a little high or low, dependent upon your location so do with this info as you will.

Hopefully I should be back on the water late this spring, as I'm adding Aquamarine decking and possibly flush-mounting a Garmin or Raymarine GPS unit into the dashboard.
