Any idea what is the difference betweeen the oil the engine uses and atf for the rings? Why would atf be a better choice? |

Was compression/leakdown tested when the engine was cold, or hot?

Found used engine from a Ski Nautique
No change in my engine situation, but I have found a used engine out a 91 Ski Nautique. The mechanic is telling me it will be a straight swap for the 351 in my boat, in that the Ski Nautique engines are standard rotation (looking from rear engine turns left) same as a MasterCraft. I had always thought SN had a different prop rotation (RH prop). Is the change made in the transmission?
The engine can be had for a reasonable price ($500), but I want to make 100% sure before I tell him that I will take it. Also, the engine is 5 hours from me so its quite a haul. Will this engine work in my 91? I hope so.... Thanks for any input! |

Ran the boat this past Saturday with no oil leak issues. My problem may have been a stuck ring, I'm not sure. I filled the cylinders with a few teaspoons of a combination of sea foam and mystery oil. I let it set for about 30 minutes and rotated the engine every 30 minutes for so for about 3 hours. I then ran the engine. Afterwards I added a few teaspoons of ATF into the cylinders and let it set overnight. Ran the engine in the yard and then changed the oil and headed to the lake. Finger crossed it will continue to run fine. Dipstick popped up a few times when I ran wide open, but not when running 2000-2500 rpms as before.
Engine still seems to have excessive steam coming out of the exhaust at times. Engine never ran over 160 degrees though. Any thoughts or run as is? |
