Hi Edd,
Wasn't this a suspected head gasket leak a while
ago? Then confirmed suspicion finding discoloured
oil (grey) and cranking with no firing? So now
it's probably just hydraulic'ed and they want to remove the whole puppy!
Did anyone try barring it over with the injectors removed?
Don't you have a competent mechanic nearby who
can pop the head off in less than a couple of
hours and give you a good opinion?
Might save the season and a few grand to boot, Russ

Listers,
The yard is pulling out the Enterpriseâs
engine tomorrow. They canât get it to turn
more than 3/4 of the way and they think itâs a bent rod or something.
So, as far as I can see, the options are:
1. They ship this engine to a place that can
fix/rebuild. I know this is the lowest-priced
option, but also am aware that thereâs a
possibility it canât be fixed or rebuilt. So,
in essence, Iâm gambling with all that time and labor.
2. Obtain a remanufactured Universal M-35 or a
similar engine from Westerbeke and get that put
in anyone have any clue as to those costs?
3. Obtain a Beta-30 from Beta Marine for $11,000
including shipping and put that in. The Beta guy
(who has been enormously helpful) says it should
be a perfect match (same mounts, same power, lighter engine)
Anyone have any advice, experience or comments
with any of these options. If it were you, what would you do?
Wanted to get this email out before I threw up.
All the best,
Edd
