Wow. If I had gone that far, with an engine with 3K hours, there is no way that I wouldn’t put a new engine in there.
I have been down that road a couple times, and the time and effort . . . The new breed of diesels are just so much nicer. Too bad Cummins doesn’t make small diesels. Just my opinion, of course.

Boat is a 40-2 Aft Cabin so engine is relatively easy to pull. Plan was/is to do basic stuff like mounts, wiring, hoses, injectors, valve adjust. Plan is not to rebuild the engine. Engine has ~3000 hrs. Does not seem to have any issues. The question I have for those who might know is how hard is it to change crank seals. What special tools would I need access to? For clarity I already have transmission, damper plate and flywheel off on the PTO side. Of course there is a picture :-) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NB4JiY8mQb1Is6OXOlHCbHvwYA4hTriX/view?usp=sharing There is a small leak on PTO side. I don't think it is terrible but still a little leak. Timing cover side seems to be leak free. Thanks in advance.
