Clifton,

Unfortunately there are not going to be any full fresh water cooling systems for engines making this much Hp. The pressure/flow losses thru the marine exhaust systems are too great and therefore reduce the coolant flow through the engine to the point that localized hot spots form and introduce detonation to the engine.  Let me know if you need any further technical information or help placing your order. In either case I will be glad to assist!

Question: What is the best way to determine the rotation of Marine Engines? My engine is currently not running and out of the boat so I really don’t have any way to run the engine to determine this.

Answer: The best way to determine this is to look at the direction the engine itself turns. For standard engine rotation the engine harmonic balancer will turn clockwise when looking at it from the front. Since the sea water pump pulley and the crankshaft pulley both run on the groove side of the belt, we therefore know the pump must turn the same direction as the engine. In contrast to this the engine circulating pump runs on the flat side of the belt so therefore it would turn the opposite direction as opposed to the engine. In this case where the engine is not in a running condition you would look at the Marine Flywheel to verify which direction the starter motor has been engaging the flywheel. From this you will be able to determine which direction the engine rotates when running.

Richard,

Short blocks are no longer offered because they are simply not cost effective. Along with this they cannot be tested as a complete engine assembly and in the instances bad heads are installed onto them it’s simply too difficult to sort out the warranty responsibility.

Regarding options I would recommend the remanufactured Marine longblocks as these are specifically built to marine standards. I was the engineering manager for the exhaust & cooling division at Mercruiser for 10 years so I have quite a lot of experience with the engines.

Where can I get a marine grade short block 260hp min. replacement for my 1984 mercury (chevy 350) carb. intake motor?

If i go long are all your offerings NEW blocks and are they high in Nickel content like the older #######010 blocks?

Do your blocks use ARP bolts and such?

I would also want a forged crank,, yours?

Anything special about your camshaft or lifters to help my decission making?

Customer inquiry from: Dave
Body: I just bought a 1990 Thompson Sportfish project boat. It has a 5.7/V8 Bravo. I think it’s Bravo 2? Engine Serial No: 0C873819; Transom Ser. No: 0D336104 and Drive Ser. No: 0D343488. It was originally from Lake Ontario and I will be using it in The Atlantic Ocean. I want to install a closed loop cooling system but it’s a bit confusing as to which one is correct. I think it is: Mercruiser 5.7L Fresh Water Cooling Kits Full System – Part #: 5399-8? Any help? Thanks, Dave Miller
