I'm not really sweating the $73. I'll probably just order it. I'm more asking because there might be other parts that I need. Why did the rocker snap? I haven't found the reason yet... I like to know what options there are.
Looking for some help to find a rocker arm for a 2003 Westerbeke 5 BCG gas generator. P/N: 037908
I'm hoping there is a cross reference to something like the 86 Sprint earlier in this thread. Those are only $12-30...
Here are pics of mine and the listing at Westerbeke. Thanks for any help.
Same thing happened with mine. I'm sure it's because the dipstick tube didn't get positioned correctly. It's too far off the bottom of the pan. I'm installing a drain plug hose and will run it up the side of my motor where I can connect a pump.
Not many do have that problem... I've been through 100s, if not thousands of training and qualifications shoots for rifle and pistol as a Marine as well as a State and Federal LEO. Perfect scores are extremely few and far between. If perfect scores are happening, the training or qual needs to be...
Heads are a non issue now. You just need the right head gaskets if you want to put Mk IV heads on a Gen VI 454. Gen VI motors just have a far superior block. Not to knock Mk IV, but that's just how it is.
I hear people say that, but I still see them all over the place. I have four Gen 6 L29s so I'm all stocked up for now thankfully. One in the boat, two in the garage and one in my 69 Camaro.
Merlin would definitely be a nice way to go if you needed to!
Nah. You just have to know where to look. Junk yards are still full of them. Certain 96-01 Chevy vans will have one for instance. Same motor, but would need a cam for starters. I have two long blocks sitting in my garage that I picked up for $500 with an extra set of 290 heads. I'm going to...
I'm one of those ignorant old school gear heads. So thanks for that... It's not always about what you learned on the innerweb.
Not all heads that are called peanut ports are peanut ports for starters. ie 290s from an L29. Excellent head with tons of potential, but is still limited.
Scoflaw...
If something held the float where it wouldn't allow the needle and seat to open, yes.
What about the choke? Did you have to manually open it? If its electronic and loses 12v when warm it will close and not allow the motor to run or run extremely bad if you can get it to start.
Not that it matters for diagnostics, but what makes you think your motor is a gen v? Should be a gen vi I believe unless it's been swapped out.
With it running well and then out of nowhere it just won't run, then runs poorly, it screams a bad connection to me. Was the choke closed? Is that what...
No thin skin here keyboard warrior. I simply don't like it when a balloon knot such as yourself makes a claim that I'm a faux Patriot or that what I say and do is for theater. For that comment you can go find another corner of the internet and jamb your attempts at humor right up your backside.
