So teach me here. That corrosion (looks pretty nasty to me?) encircles a coolant "hole, yes? If yes, why was oil leaking and not coolant.? Or...
I don't store with a lot of fuel. I'm a contrarian on that. So Just the bottoms of the outflow are immersed. I figure closed or not the exhaust...
I use two plastic play sand pails push into the ends of the exhaust. I've lost one or two over the years but generally they stay put. I've...

I believe it was part of the MAN schedule?
My Mans had to be retorqued, I think it was at 400 hours?
I was thinking more in the way of a test. If the adjacent heads aren't torqued properly wouldn't that give even more credence to the suspected...
So this has the makings of an educational thread for me. Does it make sense to check the torque on the other heads that may remain in place?...
Add into the equation that I think the OP will be putting that on the bow of a Post 50. I've always considered 13 feet the maximum and watch the...
Carl is the owner/administrator. He will put the 2 threads together if he thinks it's appropriate. He often will do that on his own. Don't give...
