Stus-List white smoke/steam

Just a question but couldn't a compression test be done to rule out a head gasket issue? Len Sent from my mobile device. ___ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members. If you wish to make a contribution to offset our costs,

Re: Stus-List Diesel injectors

Thanks Jerry, An electric motor would be great for racing but a retrofit like that is far from within my budget these days. I'll get by with the existing setup as long as I can. Brent. Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 1, 2017, at 8:01 PM, Jerome Tauber via CnC-List >

Re: Stus-List Diesel injectors

If water is getting into cylinder that could explain the hard start. When engine heats up water is turned to steam and engine will run but with steam in exhaust. If water is getting into crank case you will see it in dip stick as honey like clumps. You can often hear a blown gasket as well.

Re: Stus-List Diesel injectors

Brent, there might be a terminology problem here. Fresh water cooling: It is a closed system with antifreeze in it pumping through the block and a heat exchanger. Raw water (fresh or salt) pumps through the heat exchanger too then is mixed with the exhaust and out of the boat Raw water

Re: Stus-List Diesel injectors

Depends on where the leak in the head gasket is. If it's between a coolant passage and a cylinder, then you would see the evidence in the exhaust. If the gasket leak is between a coolant passage and an oil return, then you would see it in the oil. The best advice is to watch the coolant level

Re: Stus-List Diesel injectors

The 1GM10 is fresh water cooled with no heat exchanger. I'm really hoping it's not a head gasket. Would there not be water in the oil sump if the gasket were blown? Brent 27-5 Wild Rover. Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 1, 2017, at 5:06 PM, Gary Russell via CnC-List >

Re: Stus-List Diesel injectors

Not to be an alarmist, but white smoke usually means a coolant leak, such as a blown head gasket. Take a sniff of the exhaust. If it has a sweet smell, you've got an internal coolant leak. Is your coolant level going down, with no apparent leak? Gary S/V Kaylarah '90 C 37+ East Greenwich, RI,

Re: Stus-List Diesel injectors

You can remove the injector from the block. Turn it upside down, reconnect to the fuel pipe, turn the engine over until the injector starts to spray. Pop, pop, pop. Watch the spray pattern. It should be a clean, wide cone pattern, equally aerated, fine mist. This is a test you should do before

The problem with 4941 is the thickness at 0.045", which is one half the thickness of 4991. It won't deal with surface irregularities as well. Gary ~~~_/)~~ On Sat, Apr 1, 2017 at 3:44 PM, Matthew L. Wolford via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > FWIW, I contacted 3M after

The rudder of my 34 used to fill with water every season. I was told this was pretty common for rudder posts to leak and frequently people did not even know. Every year, when the boat was hauled, I drilled a hole upward from the bottom with a long drill bit (about 8” long and about 1/8"

I think the main problem was poor helming. The helmsman is continually throwing the tiller over trying to tack when he has no speed. At one point he gets the genoa pulling and instead of falling off and getting some speed, he immediately tries to tack, knowing that if he doesn’t make it he is
