Greetings all,
Well I got the boat swrink wrapped by Thanksgiving and I started to do the teardown of my port engine. (zero compression #3 cyl.) As I said awhile back, I suspected a burned exhaust valve. Well my diognostics were right on the money. Here is a picture of the head on my workbench,
#3 valve springs
and #3 combution chamber. See the hole?
I still need to get the other (outboard) head off. I will have both rebuilt. I will try to take some pictures in the boat this week.
Stay tuned, I'm sure I will be looking for some pointers along the way.
Cheers,
George
