DIY Engine Hoist and Head Removal - Free Range Sailing Ep 66

In the first of our refit series, we get started on our two main priorities for Mirrool's refit namely, preparing the hull for a new coat of anti-foul and a minor engine overhaul. As with all refits the unexpected is commonplace and we have to adapt to changing circumstances.

With regard to the morbid attraction engine interiors exert upon small and injurious objects. Back in the 1980's after just completing a complete rebuild on the engine for a V8 Range Rover a mate of mine started it for the first time and immediately heard a sound every mechanic dreads, a high frequency rattle! Evidently a single, small, machine thread screw had somehow been overlooked where it lay somewhere in the intake network and literally as the engine started, the destructive little monster had promptly migrated straight into a cylinder. You can no doubt imagine the rest of the saga Troy!

Well done as always. having that engine out and doing injector repairs taking the head off is time well spent as it affords you an inspection , decarbon the cylinders and head etc and provides peace of mind knowing everything is sound an ounce of prevention goes a long way. I always cut my oil filters open and check the filter medium for any metal or cuttings etc you can get a feel for whats going on down in the basement . Cheers to you both hope your haul out stays within budget

Great to see you guys getting on top of some boat maintenance but the main reason I'm leaving a comment is, I just wanted to thank you both for choosing such a lite material for your T-Shirts. I unfortunately caught shingles off my brother in-law just before Xmas and anyone who has had it will tell you, just how painful and irritating it is. My only gripe is I wish I had bought half a dozen of them, as it was the only shirt I could wear for any length of time while I suffered with it. So a BIG thank you and hope you guys keep with that brand for future T-Shirts as there are so lite and cool to wear, just perfect for our hot Australian summers. Talking of Shirts I think Pascal could do with a new one, looks a bit worse for wear but maybe that was from all the hard work you guys have been doing. I also hope she didn't have to sand that whole bottom down by herself, can't think of a worst job than sanding paint off. If she did, you've got a keeper there Troy, as if she wasn't perfect enough... great cook, loves fishing, eats oysters and likes a beer... you better get a ring on that finger before someone else does :-) lol.

A nice efficient hull like yours means a small Yanmar like that will drive it just fine. That engine is about the same as my generator engine in my old 36 foot trawler LOL. Once I reconditioned the injectors and set the valves it ran just fine. I'm sure yours will too.

@NotBob223 5 жыл бұрын

Its great to have you back! I had to do the same thing with my Yanmar YSB-10 last year. Be careful of that injector bits. I found out the hard way that Yanmar takes months to get hard to get parts to Canada.

@FreeRangeLiving 5 жыл бұрын

Months! That would have tested our sense of humour. I guess that is a drawback with these small Asian motors- not much demand for long service interval parts results in no stock held outside of the manufacturing country.

Push a long strip of rag or plastic (lint free) into any open galleries to prevent bits dropping into the sump. A long strip, so it hangs out, over the side & you don't re-assemble the engine with the galleries still blocked by them.

Remember Troy to use the citric acid in the ports were the water runs through to dissolve the lime scale and give you a very clean port for more water to cool the engine down and you can also use the citric acid the clean out all the pipes so they are nice and clean any citric acid will do as long as its in the crystal form so you can dilute it

@ravenfeather7087 5 жыл бұрын

Ah, the old diesel engine blues. When I took over the survey vessel I ran the organization I worked for agreed to replace the engine with a Cat 3306. What a treat to have something that was dependable and not needing constant repair. More of the story, I examined the hull of the old steel boat and discovered it was getting thin in places. Rusting. So, having to take it to a shipyard anyway for the engine, wrote up the specs for cutting out weak sections and replacing with new metal. One day I went to check on the progress, several hours drive, and when I saw their hull repair my eyes about popped out of my head. Instead of cutting out the weak sections they had simply scabbed over the weak metal and welded on another layer of metal. Fortunately I had carefully written the contract and it said cut out the deteriorated metal and cut new metal to fit the hole and then weld. Which they did. They did a great job with the engine though! Loved that engine. I suspect it's still blub blubbing.

@FreeRangeLiving 5 жыл бұрын

I do remember you telling us about that shipyard in the Gove episode. I like the CAT diesels too except for the injectors being under the rocker cover.
