I have a 1989 v20 I am trying to pull the gas tank out due to leakage .i have scraped the styrofoam away from the sides as much as I can and the tank still won't budge any suggestions or helpful tricks?

The shaft just pulls out, then you put the plug back in it's place.

Hey TM quick question maybe you know if you remove the oil injection off of a 175 mercury how do you remove the gear or shaft that goes down in the block??

hi ferm,
got a question! 350chevy 1986 vintage in my v20 has 1256 hours. when i got it sat for year or two got it running needed to replace exhaust manifold and exchangers still ran hot. so i figured salt water cooled motor of this vintage is clogged up in the block and head passages. sure enough i cleaned out block and found heads shot too. so i got heads off newer motor with top bolted valve covers. and changed the intake manifold. because of newer design bolt holes. put it together and ran awesome. buttt i have just a tad low oil pressure!! 22lbs at idle and 35- 40lbs running around 3500 rpm. or higher. no noise or nocks sounds perfect but since am pulling the motor out to clean bilge and touch up a stringer think i will check the rod and mains bearing. also do you think the oil pump should be changed. or should i leave good enough be? also put mechanical gauge on block to check pressure same reading as electric sender. what do you think thanks tommy
