Got on line, so pic's to follow.
Got the engine ready to lift out, in the process I discovered one broken engine mount and a partially plugged mixing elbow, I wonder if the increased backpressure in the exhaust would cause ring failure..
Strange, the engine hours are correct, engine installed in 98, survey in 2003 showed 58hrs, we bought it in 07 it then had about 100hrs, as of today there are 356 hrs. Talking to a couple of other boats that have had compression issues and they both have older engines with low hours, one was a twenty year old Volvo with only 600 hrs, methinks now that our Izuzu has never been broken in .
Any it will be interesting to see what the engine looks like inside.
