Once I get it in the water and see what rpms it turns I may see what you have.

Hey, you mechanical types!


I have a couple of issues with the motor.

No water ever came out the pee hole however some water was comming out of the exhaust relief on the back of the midsection. (I am going to check for bugs/trash clogging the pee hole)

Water was also running out of the area around the top motormount........pretty sure thats not good.

So I think it was pumping water, but it was not getting to where it needed to go.

Any suggestions?


Secondly, I want to make sure I lined things up right when I put on the timing belt.

There is a line on the flywheel and an arrow on the dist. pulley. I lined those up.

The cover on the top of the dist. pulley also had a line on it but it was not at the same place as the arrow on the actual pulley. I assume it is used to adjust timing advance.

How'd I do?

A little update.

According to the experts, I did the timing belt correctly. And I got the "tell tale" aka pee hole unclogged. Oh, and the water leaking around the top motor mount has stopped, I guess the gasket had dried out sitting for all those years and swelled back up when it got some water in her.

I started washing the mold off of her yesterday, she is cleaning up nice. Going to do the inside today.

Then I just have to fix the steering and patch up a couple of gouges in the gelcoat and I will be ready for a ride.
