[Public-list] RE: Greymarine Engines

John and Peggy,

I live aboard Selfridge Air Guard Base, Michigan (about 30-45 miles from
your house) and I have a Grey Marine Sea Scout engine sitting in my garage
that I am trying to get rid of.  The engine has no carb/starter or
associated crap on it.  But to my knowledge the rest of it is in good shape
and could be used to get your engine running.

Have a Greymarine engine (cira 1964) in my Alberg 30 #39.  Having problems
right now with a stuck open exhaust valve in # 3 cylinder.  Got suggestion
to drain oil & fill with transmission fluid-run for about an hour-  then try
to tap valve back down.  Then fill & drain with motor oil X2.  Does this
jive with anyone else's experiences or knowledge?

Also am desperately seeking a manual,specs, location of parts & supplies for
this engine.  Have called several places and they have laughed  & went on to
tell me that I am not alone in my quest but  "Sorry I can't help you"  One
women suggested I form an association of greymarine owners who can get
together & cry in our beers as one.  As it looks like the head may have to
come off,  I'm going to need more than a few beers.

Any help here would be more than appreciated.  I live in Brighton , Mi. &
dock the boat in Sarnia, Canada on Lake Huron.From bob at fox.nstn.ca  Mon May

We have had this problem with various old boat engines over the years.

We mixed diesel fuel and motor oil and with an flexible shaped tube inserted
in each spark plug hole, we filled the cylinders with the diesel-oil mixture
as much as possible and let it set for a couple of weeks.

During the wait period we put a wrench on the engine to roll it over several
times. We drained the oil mix from the engine after a couple of weeks; the
mixture "freed up" the engine. 

 If you can get at the valves and lifters by removing a valve cover and
soaking them with an oil mix helps too.

Perhaps we were lucky, but this has worked for a few old boat engines we had
in our family over the years.
