LOL...too funny!
Darren, if you want a planer gauge my dad has one and I have one, we'll never need two. I'll get both of them out and take photos one of these days, he can choose which one he wants to keep.

Sasq, not really, I cleared the snow that fell Sunday night yesterday morning. What we've been having is horrendous winds. I'm glad we're quite sheltered in the woods here. Some open areas have had drifting and whiteouts though.

[attachment=4528]Trying to get the motor out of the boat , It cant come out in one lump without dismantling large bits of the boat, so its a has to be made smaller and lighter,

Wow, I don't envy you on that job Brian.
You must REALLY like that boat.
RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - Brian - 02-19-2013
This was our home for many years we have traveled thousands of miles in her before finally buying this house in Sicily. I am trying to get this job done so we can go on our summer cruise.
[attachment=4533]
Yes we do love her.--Brian.

Brian,
Very nice

Brian, Diesel with Glo Plugs? Is that the engine name Bowman?
Is this removal for a rebuild or?
RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - ETC57 - 02-19-2013
Nice power plant Brian,
Looks to be a beautiful boat as well.
Jerry.
RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - Brian - 02-20-2013
The boat is a Moody 34 ,
the base engine is a BMC 1500 used in Austin cars and vans,
It was converted by Thornycroft .
Bowman is the name of the heat exchanger mfrs
It has glow plugs because it is a anti chamber type diesel, and cold starting can be a problem, I will be happy to go further into this if you want??
The problem is the engine injection pump leaked fuel into the motor eventually leaking into the bilges from the oil seals. As i do not know how long the motor has been running with ultra thin oil. I have decided to strip / inspect and change rings and bearings
At sea you cant get out and walk home, and sometimes this motor
is asked to run for 3 days at a time
, so caution is best.
Progress today
Engine is out of its "Hole" and into the passageway, It was a struggle, no room even for one person. but with leavers --wood-- and wedges you can do a lot.
Pics to follow I havent uploaded them from the camera yet.
Back soon Brian
