  2. What about the other starter motor, does it have one too, and does it click when starting its engine?
  3. I remember that transporter bridge, we always looked at it from the train which usually called at Runcorn on the way to Liverpool from Euston.

    Oil pressure.

    If the crank was very stiff to turn maybe the reconditioners only used new piston rings on the old pistons and didn't scrape out and clean the ring grooves before fitting them, causing the stiffness. I've come across this a couple of times in the past.

  8. I reckon it must have straight cut spur gears, Noisy I would have thought.
  9. Almost certainly that reduction box has helically cut gears and will need a pressure gear ol ep80/90 probably.

  11. They must be really well sealed then as stainless steel is not a good bearing metal for bearing tracks and balls.
  12. These self aligning bearings are not really meant for marine use they're machine shop bearings for use in dry conditions. Only boat builders found them an easy way of avoiding using propper plain top bearings which entails accurate alignment of the bearing and skeg socket.
  13. Paraffin is as good as Gunk was.

  22. Another way to ensure the timing belt is replaced correctly without timing pins is to before it's removal Jamb the camshft belt wheel by banging a wooden wedge behind it firmly to stop it moving then paint marks across both camshaft wheel tooth and belt valley between teeth, same with lower crankshaft toothed belt drive wheel. Once the belt is off these paint marks can be transfered to a new belt if needed. These paint marks and transfer paint marks from old to new belts need doing very accurately. If the crankshaft or camshaft moves, all the paint marks will all align up and be corrected. I often did this on many different engines when no timing pins were handy. to be safe. Afterwards always turn engine over by hand before starting it up, to be sure as valves and pistons on diesel engines only just miss each other when running, ONE tooth out and they could collide, TWO teeth out and they almost certainly will.
  23. I reckon it has a timing belt. The top half of the timing belt case comes off as is usual on timing belt engines. You can see the divide line between the upper and lower parts of the casing as a diagonal line from lower right to upper left. The pump would be bolted to the block inside the timing belts circuit and driven by the outer notched V belt
