Engine CompressionTes~ng
1. CompressionCheck:Proper compressionis essential for good
engine performance. An engine with low or unevencompression
cannotbe properly tuned.
&WARNING Useextremecare aroundenginewh#erunningor crank-
ing. Removeloose clothing and jewelry to prevent
entanglementwith rotating pulleys and drive ~ts.
a. Runengine up to normaloperating temperature.
[~ Engine must NOTbe started and run without water for
cooling.
c. Remove
andinspectall sparkplugs.Install thread-typecompres-
sion gaugein sparkplughole.
d. To PreventSparking:
e. Withchokeandthrottle plateswideopen,crankenginethroughat
least four compression
strokes, Carbureted
modelsonly.
Test Conclusion
Example
1. If compression
improves
considerably,
the pistonrings are at fault.
2. If compression
doesnot improve,valvesare stickingor seatingpoorly,or
valveguidesare worn.
CrankcaseOil
J._l~ initial factory fill is a high quality motor oil for AP! Service
SG/CD.During the break-in period (20 hours), frequently check
the oil level. Somewhathigher oil consumption is normal until
piston rings are seated. The oil level should be maintained in the
safe range between the Add and Full marks on the dipstick. This
range represents approximately 1 liter (1 quart), if it is necessary
to add or changethe motor oil, use a quality oil with APi service
category SG/CDthat meets General Motors Standard GM-6094-M
or Ford Specification ESE-M2C153-E.Volvo Penta DuraPlus TM
Motor Oils are recommended.

the engine is operating. Adjustment in this mannerwill no1: allow
1:he lifters to bleed down.This would result in vanvetrain damage,
probably bent push rods. For those whoprefer to adjust thE; valve
lash while the engine is running, the preferred methodwould be
to find the "zero lash" point as described above and then slowly
turn the adjusting nut I/~ turn. Wait for the lifter to bleed down
(,several engine revolutions) and again turn adjusting nut 1/4 turn.
Continue this adjust-and-wait cycle until nut is one complete turn

Engme/eng
Regardless of what type of equipment is used, however, it is
essential that valve guides be free from carbon or dirt to ensure
proper centering of pilot in the guide.
b® Place roughing stone o,r forming stone over pilot and just
clean up the valve seat. Usea 46° stone for both the inlet
and exhaust valve seats.
d. Narrow down the valve seats to the proper width for the
intake and exhaust. See Engine Specifications.
°This operation is done by grinding the port side with a 30
stone to lower seat and a 60° stone to raise seat.
4. Valves:
Valves that are pitted can be refaced to the proper angle, ensuring
correct relation between the head and stem on a valve refacing
machine. Vatve stems which show excessive wear, or valves that
are warped excessively should be replaced. Whena valve head 860011
which is warped excessively is refaced, a knife edge will be
ground on part or all of the valve head due to the amountof metal
that must be removedto completely reface. Knife edges lead to
breakage, burning or pre-ignition due to heat localizing on this
knife edge. if the edge of the valve headis less than %2in. thick
after grinding, replace the valve.
c. Start the grinder and move the valve head out in line
with the grinder wheel by moving the lever to the left.
d, Turn the feed screw until the valve head just contacts
wheel. Movevalve back and forth across the wheel and
regulate the feed screw to provide light valve contact.

Inspect the piston for cracked ring lands, skirts or pin bosses,
wavy worn ring lands, scuffed or damagedskirts, or eroded areas
at top of the piston. Replace pistons that are damaged or
otherwise show signs of excessive wear.
5. Place support on arbor press, start pin into piston and press on
installer until pin pilot bottoms.
Piston Rings
Piston rings are furnished in standard sizes as well as several
oversizes. See your parts catalog.
This type compression ring takes its name, twist type, from its
installed position which is cocked or twisted. It assumesand
maintains this position for life because the upper edge of its
diameter is chamfered, making the ring unbalanced in cross
section.

2. Checkpiston ring grooves by carefully removingall particles of
carbon. Also check for burrs or nicks that might cause rings to
hang up.
installation
2. Slip the ring in the cylinder bore; then, using the head of a
piston, press the ring down into the cylinder bore about two
inches.
Using a piston in this way will place the ring square with
the cylinder wails.
r=~ 3. Checkthe space or gap betweenthe ends of the ring with a
feeler gauge.
8. Install the oil ring spacerin the oil ring groove and position gap
in line with piston hoJe. HoJdspacer ends butted and install steen
rail on top side of spacer. Position gap at least one inch to left of
spacer gap, then instal[ second rail on lower side of spacer.
Position gap at least one inch to right of spacer gap.
9. Flex the oil ring assemblyin its groove to makesure ring is free
and doesnot bind in the groove at any point, if binding occurs, the
cause should be determined and removed by carefully dressing 860050
with a fine cut fine. However, if the binding is caused by a
distorted ring, install a newring.
[3~ 10. Proper clearance of the piston ring in its piston ring
groove is very important in maintaining engine performance and
in preventing excessive oil consumption. Therefore, whenfitting
newrings, the clearances betweenthe top and bottom surfaces of
the ring grooves should be inspected.
[3~ 11. The compression rings should be fitted so that the
clearance is 0.0020-0.0035 in. (0,051-0,089 mm).
12. Assemblethe rings to the pistons as they are fitted and makea
final test of the ring fit in the grooves by repeating the fitting
procedure given above.
1. Lightly coat pistons, rings and cylinder walls with light engine
oil.
7. Refill crankcase and check for leaks. Test unit and check for
coolant leaks.

EEl 2. Checkthe cylinder walls for taper, out-of-round or exces-
sive ridge at top of ring travel. This should be done with a dial
indicator (use TooJ J-8087). Set the gauge so that the thrust pin
must be forced in about 1/4 in. to enter gauge in cylinder bore.
Center gauge in cylinder and turn dial to "0". Carefully work
gauge up and down cylinder to determine taper and turn it to
different points around cylinder wall to determine the out-of-
round condition, if cylinders were found to have more than 0.002

Boring
1. Before using any type boring bar, the top of the cylinder" block
should be dressed to remove any dirt or burrs. This i,.~ very
important. Otherwise, the boring bar maybe tilted which would
result in the rebored cylinder wall not being at right angles to the
crankshaft.

electric drill to the hone and drive hone at drill speed while
moving hone up and down entire length of cylinder until hone
begins to run free. During this operation a liberaJ amount of
kerosene should be used as a cutting fluid to keep the stones of
the hone clean. Move hone slowly up and down with rough
stones, but movehone up and down rapidly enoughwith the fine
stones to producea final bore finish of very fine surface scratches
in a cross-hatch pattern of approximately 45° to 60°. The marks
should be clean but not sharp, and free from embeddedparticles
or torn or folded metal.

4. Valves:
Valves that are pitted can be refaced to the proper angle, en;~uring
correct relation between the head and stem on a valve refacing
machine. Valve stems which show excessive wear, or valves that
are warped excessively should be replaced. Whena valve head
which is warped excessively is refaced, a knifeedge will be
ground on part or all of the valve head due to the amountof metal
that must be removedto completely reface. Knife edges lead to
breakage, burning or preignition due to heat localizing on this
knife edge. if the edgeof the valve headis less than 1/3z in. (0,792
ram) thick after grinding, replace the valve.
d.Turn the feed screw until the valve head just contacts

Mainbearingsare of the precision insert type and do not utilize
shims for adjustment, if clearancesare found to be excessive, a
newbearing, both upper and lower halves, will be required.
Bearingsare available in standardsize and 0.001in., 0.002 in.,

To CheckCrankshaft:
3-28 E~
These dimensions should be checked with a micrometer for
out-of-round, taper or undersize. If the journals exceed0.001 in.
(0,025 mm) out-of-round or taper, the crankshaft should
replaced or reconditioned to an undersize figure that will enable
the installation of undersize precision type bearings.
]’o obtain the mostaccurate results with Plastigage (or its equiva-
lent), a wax-like plastic material which will compress evenly
between the bearing and journal surfaces without damaging
either surface, certain precautions should be observed. With the
engine out of the boat and upside down, the crankshaft will rest
on the upper bearings and the total clearance can be measured
between the lower bearing and journal.
1. With the oil pan and oim pumpremoved, and starting with the
rear main bearing, remove bearing cap. (Note: Wipe oil from
iournal and bearing cap before applying Plastigage materi,~l.)
3. Install the bearing cap and evenly tighten the retaining bolts to
specifications.

Normally, main bearing journals wear evenly and are not
out-of-round. However,if a bearing is being fitted to an out-of-
round journal; 0.001 in. max. (0,025 ram) be sure to fit it to the
maximum diameter of the journal, if the bearing is fitted to the
minimum diameter and the journal is out-of-round 0.001 in.
(0,025 mm), interference between the bearing and journal will
result in rapid bearing failure. If the flattened gauging plastic
tapers toward the middle or ends, there is a difference in clear-
ance indicating taper, low spot or other irregularity of the bearing
or journal. Be sure to measurethe journal with a micrometerif the
flattened gauging plastic indicates more than 0.001 in. (0,025
mm)difference.
10. install a newrear main bearing oil seal in the cylinder block

Piston Rings
Compressionrings are the deep section twist type, 3~2 in. (2,38
mm) wide.
This type compression ring takes it name, twist type, from its
installed position which is cocked or twisted, it assumesand
maintains this position for life because the upper edge of its
diameter is chamfered, making the ring unbalanced in cross
section.
Using a piston in this way will place the ring square with
the cylinder wal~s.
’1. install the oil ring spacer in the oil ring groove, and insert
antirotation tang in oil hole. Hold spacer ends butted, and install 10755
steel rail on top side of spacer. Position gap at least one inch (2,54
cm) to left of spacer gap, then install secondrail on lower ,;ide of
spacer. Position gap at least one inch to right of spacer gap.
2. Flex the oil ring assemblyin its groove to makesure ring is free
and doesnot bind in the groove at any point. If binding occurs, the
cause should be determined and removed by carefully dressing
with a fine cut file. However, if the binding is caused by a
distorted ring, install a newring.
[~] 4. Proper clearance of the piston ring in its piston ring groove
is very important in maintaining engine performance and in
preventing excessive oil consumption. Therefore, when fitting
new rings, the clearance between the top and bottom surfaces of
the ring grooves should be inspected.
6. Assemblethe rings to the pistons as they are fitted, and makea 860050
final test of the ring fit in the grooves by repeating the fitting
procedure given above.

oil.

Cylinder Conditioning
if the cylinders were found to have less than 0.005 in. (0,127 ram)
taper or wear, they can be conditioned with a hone and fitted with
0.001 in. (0,025 mm)oversize pistons. A cylinder bore of less than
0.005 in. (0,127 mm)wear or taper maynot entirely clean up when
fitted to a 0.001 in. (0,025 mm)oversize piston, if it is desired
entirely clean up the bore in these cases, it will be necessary to
rebore for an oversize piston, if more than 0.005 in. (0,127 mm)
taper or wear exists, they should be bored and honed to the
smallest oversize that will permit complete resurfacing of all
cylinders.
Cylinder Boring
1. Before using any type boring bar, the top of the cylinder block
should be filed off to remove any dirt or burrs. This is very
important. Otherwise, the boring bar may be tilted which would
result in the rebored cylinder wall not being at right angles to the
crankshaft.
3-36 E.oi~,/~
2. Place the honeinto a cylinder bore, and expandthe stone~3until
the hone can just be turned by hand. Connecta 1/2 in. (1,27 cm)
electric drill to the hone, and drive hone at drill speed while
moving hone up and down entire length of cylinder until hone
begins to run free. During this operation, a liberal amount of
kerosene should be used as a cutting fluid to keep the stones of
the hone cmean. Move hone slowly up and down with rough
stones, but movehone up and down rapidly enoughwith the fine
stones to producea final bore finish of very fine surface scratches
in a crosshatch pattern of approximately 45° to 65° included
angle. The marks should be clean but not sharp, and free from
embeddedparticles or torn or folded metal.
3. Expand the stones against the cylinder bore, and repeat the
honing operation until the desired bore diameter is obtained.
Piston Selection
5. Thoroughly clean the cylinder bores with hot water and soap.
Scrub well with a stiff bristle brush and rinse thoroughly with hot
water. It is extremely essential that a good clean operation be
performed. If any of the abrasive material is allowed to remain in
the cylinder bores, it will rapidly wear the newrings and cylinder
bores in addition to the bearings lubricated by the contaminated
oil. The bores should be swabbedseveral times with light engine
oil and a clean cloth then wiped with a clean dry cloth. Cylinders
should not be cleaned with kerosene or gasoline. Clean the
remainder of the cylinder block to remove the excess material
spread during the honing operation.

Main Bearing ~earance
To obtain the most accurate results with Plastigage (or its equiva-
®
lent), a wax-like plastic material which will compress evenly
between the bearing and journal surfaces without damaging
either surface, certain precautions should be observed. With the
engine out of the boat and upside down, the crankshaft will rest
on the upper bearings and the total clearance can be measured
between the lower bearing and journal.
1. With the oil pan and oil pumpremoved, and starting ,with the
rear main bearing, remove bearing cap. NOTE: Wipe oil from
journal and bearing cap before applying Plastigage.
3. InstalJ the bearing cap and evenly torque the retaining bolts to
specifications.
’7. A standard size,, 0.001 in. or 0.002 in. undersize bearing may
produce the proper clearance. If not, it will be necessary to
regrind the crankshaft journal for use with the next undersize
bearing.

wavy, worn ring lands; scuffed or damagedskirts; or eroded
areas at top of the piston. Replace pistons that are damagedor
otherwise show signs of excessive wear.
Englne/en9 6-27
Piston pins should be capable of supporting their own weight in
either pin boss whencoated with light engine oil and at 60° F.
Higher or lower temperatures will cause false indications.
--®
Piston pins are matched fit to the piston and are not available
separately. Piston pins will not becomeloose enoughto cause a
knock or tapping until after prolonged use, and in such cases a
new piston and pin assembly should be installed.
Piston Rings
Compressionrings are the deep section twist type, 3/~2 in. wide.
This type compression ring takes its name, twist type, from its
installed position which is cocked or twisted, it assumesand
maintains this position for life because the upper edge of its
diameter is chamfered, making the ring unbalanced in cross
section.
6-28 Englne/eng
I~ All compression rings are marked with the letters "GM"
,cast in the upper side of the ring. Wheninstalling compression
rings, makesure the side marked"GM" is toward the top of the
piston.
Using a piston in this way will place the ring square with
the cylinder walls.
E~ 1. Install the oil ring spacer in the oil ring groove, and insert
antirotation tang in oil hole. Homdspacer ends butted, and install
steel rail on top side of spacer. Position gap(~) at least one inch
left of spacer gap (~ then install second rail on lower side of
spacer. Position gap @at least one inch to right of spacer gap (~.
2. Flex the oil ring assemblyin its groove to makesure ring is free DR2908
and doesnot bind in the groove at any point. If binding occurs, the
cause should be determined and removed by carefully dressing
with a fine cut fiae. However, if the binding is caused by a
distorted ring, install a newring.
E~/..= 6-29
[~ 4. Proper clearance of the piston ring in its piston ring groove
is very important in maintaining engine performance and in
preventing excessive oil consumption. Therefore, when fitting
new rings, the clearance between the top and bottom surfaces of
the ring grooves should be inspected.
F~ 5. The upper compression ring should be fitted so that the
clearancefalls within the Specifications at the end of this section.
For clearance of lower compression ring, also see Specifications
at the end of this section.

During this operation, a liberal amount of kerosene should be
used as a cutting fluid to keep the stones of the hone clean. Move
hone slowly up and down with rough stones, but move hone up

System Diagnosis
Complaints of faulty steering are frequently the result of prob-
lems other than the steering cylinder assembly or pump. Condi-
tions such as hard or loose steering, or vibrations, are often
related to such factors as the drive belt; pump and cylinder
mounting; fluid tevel; or incorrect installation of the steering
cable. These factors should be checked and corrected before
disassembJingor replacing parts of the steering system.
System Checks
¯ Fluid level.
After the problem has been found, determine the cause. For
example,if the fluid level in the reservoir is found to be low, refill
and bleed the system and check the entire hydraulic system for
leaks. Just refilling the reservoir will makethe unit operate, but
will not correct the condition that caused the problem.

Part A - Marine Products and safety of
People Who Use Them
Enjoyable boating is the goal of people who design and build marine products. To reach this goal, manufacturers are
careful to make sure...
Install accessories. . .
This section talks about safe boating and how you can help keep it safe. Some things you may know
. . . but others you may not.
First!
A word about fasteners . . . plain . . . special . . . all screws, nuts, washers and bolts.
Don't substitute unless you know they are the same in all characteristics.
Second!
Special locking screws and nuts are often used to attach steering, and remote control components to
the sterndrive.
When you remove any part from the sterndrive, keep track of special screws and nuts. Don't mix with
other parts
When reassembling the sterndrive, use only the special screws and nuts intended to hold steering, and
control cables, plus related parts.
Service with parts of known quality that meet Marine Industry (BIA/ABYC) Standard.

Sterndrive Throttle Control System
If operator cannot slow the engine to idle RPM and shift into neutral, (stop propeller), operator could panic and lose control

S-6 Safety
Sterndrive Fuel and Electrical Systems
What's Important?
When boating, fuel leaking in the engine compartment could be ignited by a spark from a loose wire
connection, or a damaged or deteriorated electrical component.
Do not substitute fuel or electrical parts with other parts which may look the same. These parts are
designed and manufactured to meet special U. S. Coast Guard safety regulations to prevent fire and
explosion.
If you work on marine engines, you must understand these U.S. Coast Guard requirements. If you don't have them, write
to . . .

. . . and ask for copies of:
Safety
S-7
Always use replacement parts specified by the manufacturer. They meet the U.S. Coast Guard require-
ments. Most automotive parts do not, especially electrical components that must meet ignition protec-
tion requirements of the U.S. Coast Guard regulations.
Torn Boots!
Wires Cracked!
Using parts which meet U.S. Coast guard requirements is only half the job. The other half is your job . . .
It's time for replacement BEFORE sparks and/or fuel leaks occur.
Replace parts carefully. Make sure nuts and bolts are tight especially when they anchor electrical wires
(to prevent sparking). If lock washers are specified - use them. No short cuts or missing parts with
either of these CRITICAL safety related systems.
When refueling, always ground fuel nozzle to the inlet fitting on the boat to prevent the buildup of
electrostatic sparks. If you use a funnel, make sure it's metal and ground the fuel nozzle to the funnel.
S-8 Safety
Follow "Starting Procedure" outlined in the operator's manual.
Always make sure there are no gasoline fumes in the engine compartment before starting the
engine. Open the compartment and use your nose. Don't gamble.
Backfire flame arrestor must be in place and securely attached to the air intake.
If loose, damaged, or altered, an engine "backfire" may pass through the flame arrestor assembly into the engine compart-
ment. If fumes are present in compartment, fire and explosion could result.

DR3471 DR3469
Make sure shop aids have extra capacity — and keep them in good repair!
The engine compartment cover is a guard. When you remove the cover / guard to work on the engine, remember:
Loose clothing (open shirt sleeves, neckties), long hair, jewelry (rings, watches, bracelets), hands,
arms, belts can be caught by moving belts or spinning pulleys
Handle high voltage ignition components carefully. They can shock you and may cause you to recoil into
moving parts.
Two people working together on a running engine must look out for each other. Never, ever, hit the key to start the
engine before signalling to your partner. (He may be leaning over the engine with his hands on a belt, or a "hot" electri-
cal part, near the propeller, etc.)
Safety

Exhaust gasses of running engines contain carbon monoxide. . . you can't see it. . . you can't smell it. . .
you can't taste it. . . but it's there whenever an engine runs. . . and it's deadly!
When you smell the other gasses in the exhaust, you are inhaling carbon monoxide. Run engines only in well ventilated
areas.
