I have oil coming out of the oil stick tube when underway. At the docks, no oil is coming out of the tube. Cylinders 6 and 8 have low compression, 95 ns 90. The others are around 120-130. Both of the heads were redone with new valves and springs. I am guessing it is the piston rings. - and the...

I currently don’t have anything that beeps if the water temp shots up due to a possible impeller failure. What are the different ways I can install an alarm system against over heating?

Machine shop called. I have cracked head on my 426 Chrysler. Current heads are cast iron, but most new replacements are aluminum. I am assuming I should stay with aluminum, but is there a strong case for not using aluminum? It looks like the wedge blocks come in 2 different combustion chamber...

Update on my project; I received and replaced the exhaust manifold. Utilizing the test of plugging the lower water connection and adding water from the top (and blowing it with shop vac), I can see that the water level stayed the same. I started the engine, and it started up great, and about 3...

My Port side chrysler 426 gas engine is having a major issue: Cylinder #7, (SB side of the P engine, furthest one back, which sits lowest) has water squirting out when I run or crank or run the engine. I don't see few drops, it is more like 3-5 table spoons each time the piston goes up. I see...

About 10 years ago I purchased the thermostat conversion kit as listed here: https://marinepartssource.com/thermo...ysler-2846215k As you can see in the picture, the long hose, which seems to be the one going to the exhaust risers, is located in the lower thermostat house outlet. What baffles...

Has anyone converted the thermostat housing on their Chrysler 426 engines to the following product? http://www.marineparts.com/p-79962-chrysler-inboard-thermostat-housing-1968-1974.aspx THe issue is: My engines are running very cold. I put a temp gun on either hose coming from thermostat...

I am looking to add an autopilot to my boat. My cruising speed is 12 knots, so it is not a fast boat. I have the original, 1965 hydraulic steering ram which measures 1 5/8 wide and 14" long. I am looking at raymarine ev150 vs ev200 Same pump, same sensor. The controller screen is the only...

Née auto pilot system? I removed the original autopilot off the boat 12 years ago. Now I want to put in a new one. This for a 1965 41 DC. I converted the steering from hynautic to hydraulic 6 years ago. Now I have teleflex steering pump. Any recommendations on which autopilot system I...

I am researching what alternators were used on my Chrysler 426s. The manual has a bunch of info but no model number. I saw on the sierra Chrysler inboard parts catalogue that their model is 18-5954, but that product is no longer offered. On the sierra site, it says their part is also for...

I was replacing the points on my distributors and the springs under the plate look pretty old. Should I be replacing them??? Original Chrysler distributors. Thanks in advance.

The family helped me clean the boat when we pulled it out - and now I can not find my notebook with part numbers. I was hoping to make some updates this year. I need want to update my ignition system - I haven't done it in 10 years now. I need anything you have. ignition coil #, ballast...

I have made the decision to replace my gennie. I have an aft cabin, where the gennie is located in aft part of the engineroom. Above the gennie, there is a wood structure that hold the floor panels. the genie is (of course) larger than the framing above it, so I can't simply "lift" it out...
