If it is a head gasket, why are you thinking of a complete replacement? I had a
crack in the head of my Yanmar and removed the head and replaced it with a new
one. One (+) boat buck instead of a bunch (did my own work).
Or, is the rest of the engine pooped as well?

Edd,
Have the head check closely for cracks. Sometimes the gasket fails owing to
issues with th e head/block surfaces.
I spent one summer season nursing my old Yanmar powered C&C 36 around the PNW
with a cracked head. I would use the compression release to get it started
when cold. Changed the oil every few weeks.
We did re-power after that cruising season with a newer model Yanmar. I
second the comment regarding the extra costs incurred when switching engine
models. A key for me with the 36's older model Yanmar was the future
availability of spare parts.

John,
Thanks. I think I'm in for a head gasket replacement.
All the best,
Edd

Edd - one other thought. Give McMichael (Mamaroneck) a call. Very good
mechanics who may have suggestions. They did the gasket replacement for the
sail drive on Paws.

Listers,
Having some troubles with the Enterprise's Universal M-35 Diesel engine and
I'm preparing myself for the worst.
Has anyone on the list completely replaced their engine and, if so, what
did it cost you including time out of commission and labor?
All the best,
Edd
