thanks for the info, I'll see what the cost for a jasper is.

well, it's been a while and everything is still apart. I started flight school eearlier then expected and haven't had time to mess with this. That being said, I don't have time to rebuild this thing anymore and need to start looking at faster options. Ideally, I would like to have a quality...

This thread is in reference to my eirlier post in engines: http://clubsearay.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23049&highlight=lifter+noise I am in flight school and don't have time to do the rebuild myself, so I'm looking at options. I either want a local shop to rebuild it, or just purchase a...

There is no broken bolt that I can see, or anything threaded in the center. I just don't want to put a puller on it without knowing how it is attached. So I removed the pistons today. The #1 piston and cylinder is all sorts of scarred up on one side. The wrist pin is really tight and...

UPDATE: I've got the engine out of the boat and the engine mostly stripped down. How do you remove the harmonic balancer? Usually there is a bolt holding it in, then you use a puller. I see no main bolt, just the threaded holes for the puller :huh:

Thanks for the help. I was able to pull the drive and get most everything unhooked from the engine. I'll get some pics later.

hey guys, I finally have a chance to work on this thing. I was looking through my SELOC manual and it says I have to remove the whole stern drive in order to pull the motor. This seems like an aweful lot of extra work to get the engine out. Is there anyway to disconect the drive unit from...

yup, that's the plan right now. My biggest concern is what caused the bearing to let loose in the first place.

So, I pulled the boat out of the garage so that I could play with the rocker while the engine was running, and to my surprise, that was most certainly not the problem. The clanking is coming from the front of the motor under the valve train. This leads me to believe that it is a rod bearing...

Thanks for the quick reply! I just went out and looked at it and that's what it looks like. My SELOC manual makes no mention of it or any process to remove the lifters. Hopefully it will be straight forward.

As my sig says, I have the little 3.0l Alpha 1 gen II combo. The motor has always had a little lifter noise, but I've had motors that clacked for years with no real ill effect. So I was testing SS props the other day and I was trying a prop that had a lot less pitch then stock (17P vs. 21P)...

I've been wondering the same thing! I'd be happy with the v6...

her's mine w/3.0l

I have the same boat and take it out in rougher waters frequently here in Pensacola. I noticed the same thing with the extra water comming in while in the rough water. I have determined that it is purly the spray from moving through the chop. Our boats have a very shallow gunwale and the...

I had 6501s in my car a couple years ago and they were mutilated by the direct sunlight on the rear dash after only 2 years

Any good resources for parts?

hey all, Been reading for a while figured I would post up. First boat, good fun.
