Rob when I saw your post today I was hoping for good news I was a little sick to my stomach after reading it I hope you can find someone to help you out and get everything worked out.

My guess is 2050

Thanks everyone I do have a swivel on the end. My wife was retrieving the anchor today and I could see the anchor was cockeyed the last few feet and told her to stop we need to line it up. Well she lined it up hose in right hand right foot on windlass switch left knee on pulpit and left hand...

Do you use the windlass to retrieve anchor the last few feet on to pulpit or should you do it by hand. Seems dangerous trying to line up anchor by hand and stepping on windlass switch at the same time.

This is the type of hone that was used on my cylinders. The guy that bored and honed my engine had four more jobs to do the day he did mine. He put a perfect cross hatch hone on my cylinders. He would measure every hole in multiple spots write down numbers on a sheet of paper hone measure hone...

The piston I replaced looked similar. It had similar discoloration from the high temperature. The third pic from the top it looks like the skirt of the piston has wear? I was told when a aluminum piston gets too hot it will change shape. How did the crank journal look? If it is in good shape be...

Maybe some rust from the exhaust elbow? When was the last time it was replaced? If you still had a good water flow I would say your impeller is working.

Rob get that piston out and post some good photos of the cylinder walls, piston top and sides, rod, crank journal and journal bearings. Let the trawler forum army help guide you through this.

Had my engine bored in the salon If the bottom end looks good you might get lucky with a quick fix.

Buddy and Bella our spoiled dogs Sometimes I feel like my wife and I are their pets and they are running the show.

Good luck I hope everything goes well and welcome to the forum. Mike

Bunker Hill in Newport Beach He saved me had to walk away from a boat that I was in love with. It was hard leaving all that money on the table but in hindsight I have saved thousands.

I have the 2714 and torqued the head bolts 115 pounds. I also ran a tap on block to clean threads and lightly oiled the threads before assembly.

Rob are the other pistons okay? What do they look like? Is that cylinder furthest away from the water pump? Hopefully the bottom end is still okay. The experts will chime in soon. Good job pulling the head off. Good luck on the repair.

Rob if you want to save money start taking the engine apart and make the block light as possible for removal. I am no expert but if you hire someone to do all the work 60 to 80 percent of your cost for the repair will be labor. I'm just guessing maybe Ski will chime in.

Rob I had a similar knock ( https://vimeo.com/166044459 ) and with the help of all the great members on the forum I was able to repair my engine. I'm thinking you might want to pull off the head and take a look. I've been there done that...

Remove transmission before removing block

First remove cylinder head this will reduce weight and allow you to get block higher off the floor. Make sure you use a engine stand that can handle the weight and length of the block. Build a truss to support the floor I used 6 2x4 to help support the floor. You will have more weight on the...

Mr Barnacles It is running great no more knocking and the oil looks good I have put 80 hours on the engine and will change the oil soon l will send out a sample for an oil analysis and post the results

Make sure it is piston slap I did a oil analyst and had high amounts of aluminum and other metals in the report. I've been told a bad injector can make a similar sound. http://www.trawlerforum.com/forums/s6/lehman-120-piston-slap-17797.html
