I ordered, and received, my full set of engine zincs for the 3126-TAs.
There are 11 zins in the "kit"
3 for the heat exchanger, 2 for the oil cooler 5 for the aftercooler and 1 for the exhaust elbow.
During my engine survey, in December of '06, I watched the CAT tech replace them. That was approximately 90 hours and 11 months ago. I will be leaving the boat in the water and I will run the Pink AF through the raw water circuit which will be laying in there from early December '07 until March 1st, '08 when I fire them back up.
A few questions...should I replace the zincs now and let them sit in the idle engine with AF or just wait another few months and replace them for my spring commisioning.
Second....any tips from those that have done this before...
Oh...and one more thing...are all of these zincs easy to find and locate...:grin:
Thanks in advance...
