Hey guys,
Need some help. I found out the hard way what happens when you have rotten exhaust manifolds and they flood the engine prior to 6mo of storage. Boat was running fine in October following a f/w flush on the hose. Tried to start it a month ago when I moved and found the engine seized.
I need to pull the engine as I've already torn the heads off, cleaned out the sludge, used penetrating oil for a week or so inside the cylinder bores with a breaker bar on the crankshaft to try to rotate the engine. No joy.
Anyone have the procedures for yanking a 1976 Mercruiser 280 TRS engine and tranny assbly?
I need help. I'm trying to get the boat running again after I finally got the chance to buy a house with a covered RV pad for the boat. There's my girlfriend and her boys' summer at stake here...Help a Donzi brother out!
Thanks in advance!
George
