Mike,

Two comments on your engine problem and the responses:

(1) I had to clear my engine of water after it filled with (fresh) water 
a few years ago. It was a joint-stupidity, a I forgot to re-connect a 
cooling hose with a path to the through-hull, and the normally highly 
expert guy who launched it failed to check the bilge before going to 
lunch. At least it was left in the slings, water almost up to the 
cushions in the cabin, big mess etc. At that time I learned from an 
experienced mechanic that, under my circumstances it would (and did!) 
take 6 or more oil changes to clear the milk-like oil/water mix. Run it 
only a 5-10 seconds on the first change, and a little longer after each. 
Not sure how much that would apply to your engine, but you can crank 
with the starter with the water disconnected, or it's OK if you only run 
it 10-20 seconds at a time, enough to circulate and mix up the goo so 
you can drain it. My fairly extensive experience with A-4 cooling 
problems has taught me that if the top of the cylinder head is <  about 
220F no damage will occur, except maybe to the water pump. So the old 
"lick your finger" and see if it steams has worked for me as an early 
warning for overheating problems while testing (in cases where the 
temperature gage is inop or there is no water flow).

(2) New Atomic-4 engine blocks, as well as built-up short blocks have 
just become available in the past month or two from Don Moyer at Moyer 
marine, so you do have some options if you have the ambition to rebuild, 
or transfer most of the engine accessories over the winter....

Don is very helpful when people call him, would definitely suggest you 
call before pulling the engine if you have questions not addressed on 
his bulletin boards.

www.moyermarine.com

I just finally finished solving a series of fuel system and intermittent 
ignition system problems, so I am hoping to get in some more sailing, 
only out 3 times so far this year...

Good luck!

I would drain the oil from the drain plug on the bottom of the pan.

I am using a wire to rope halyard. rope was too fat to fit through space 
between sheave and plate covering sheave. So I just had a new halyard made.

hello,
looks like i'm pulling my motor as i'm getting water mixing with the 
oil...almost certain it's not from the head as i had it planed & fluxed for 
cracks & used 2 head gaskets...so, since there's no oil burning?with the 
exhaust?it has to be internal...i first noticed it(grayish oily goo) leaking 
from the front oil pan crank seal...checking the dip stick & oil fill 
revealed the same stuff...since the oil also lubes the tranny, how long can 
i leave it in the engine/trans before it does more harm&can i still save the 
motor?...any suggestions for getting?the goo?out...i'm thinking engine 
flush/oil change but i will have to run the motor again without water...any 
suggestions will be greatly appreciated...thanx...mike

This is not a good sign. If it is a cracked block you are done with that
engine as no more blocks are available. You Should drain the engine oil
completely as soon as possible, fill if with fresh oil and see if the new
oil becomes water contaminated. If the new oil gets water in it you will
need to find the source. Possible place to start is the water pump. If the
seals (or shaft) are bad in the water pump it could be exchanging water and
oil.

Debra,

On a rope to wire halyard the wire should be long enough so that it never 
reaches the sheave when lowering the sail. The rope part is the messenger 
line to hoist the wire. On my mast there are two cheek plates to prevent 
jumping held on by small sheet metal screws. The pivot bolt does not come 
into play to prevent jumping of the halyard.

Michael
