thanks for the comment. can you explain the reason for not removing the back?

@ just no need once the drum is out you can replace everything I don’t remove the insides just to replace idler either I can reach it after removing front panel

Thanks for the kind words. I've replaced the gasket with and without sealer. Both had a "gas tight" seal. With sealer, there is more "peace of mind." The latest replacement was due to a water leak suspected from the manifold/ elbow gasket. After disassembly, I discovered a very small leak where cooling water entered the elbow from the heat exchanger. The previous gasket replacement was part of replacing the entire elbow.

@wendellcrim8647 thanks for specifying. I just don't want to buy the sealant for a single use every 15 years.

I have this stuff, would this work?: Quality and properties Putty-like paste basing on water glass For durable sealing of exhaust system parts Quick and easy application Ease of disassembling Physical and chemical data Basis: Water glass Consistency: pasty Colour: dark-grey Smell: nearly without odour Temperature resistance: up to approx. 700°C Processing temperature: +5°C - +30°C, best results during room temperature ph-value: 9.8 Density at 20°C: 1.68 kg/dm³ ± 0.02 kg/dm³ Solid content: 71 ± 1 % Storage stability: 12 monts if appropriate storage provided (=10°-25°C, relative air humidity of max. 60%) Size: 60 g and 170 g tube

@@boatMatthias Looks good to me. Temp resistance to 700° is the key criteria.

Sorry, she under a sales contract. Thanks for asking.

I don't know the answer. I've never had this happen. It would be a good question for a Volvo Penta service center.

All good points. I was unable to get a wrench on the crank nut. After consulting a Volvo shop, they confirmed there is no decompression lever on the model I have. I searched all over the engine with out finding the lever and began wondering if my eyesite was failing.

maybe you are trying to do NAT inside your own LAN? you can try configure the router access points as bridged access points

Always good having a new gasket available. You won't need it if the installed gasket remains in one piece while removing the valve cover. Your 3 cylinder will have max compression at 120 degrees instead of 180 in my 2 cylinder. Have fun.

This model of the 2002 does not have that lever. Even though it is depicted in the manual, I couldn't find it. Called Volvo. They confirmed no decompression lever on this model.

That is an option. Pouring diesel has a big chance of spilling it in the cabin and leaving a foul odor in the living spaces. So, I chose to pump the closed system.

Interesting question. I don't know the answer.

in bypass mode, the starlink router will only supply power to the dishy. all routing functions will be disabled. all routing can be handled by a third party router

I get my parts from Pacific Power in Kent, WA

What do you mean?

I put a housing over the wires at the baseboard.

I get my parts from Pacific Power Group. They have been very helpful. www.pacificpowergroup.com/product-category/volvo-penta-parts

@@wendellcrim8647 Thanks! I sent them a request for the v-belt.

I think it came from Amazon. Switches are pretty generic. Not sure if there is a best one.

Thanks for the kind words. Happy sailing.

You're welcome.

Check Starlink help. My PC is hardwired with ethernet cable which is why I installed the switch.

@@wendellcrim8647 My ethernet adapter should be arriving from Starlink any day now. And I bought an internet switch. So hardwiring should solve the issue?? I want the Wifi to work as well if I need for any reason.

thank you

I'm using the OME anti siphon setup. I replaced the original U pipe while the in the engine space for some insurance.

Best check with your device source.

@@wendellcrim8647 If your device has battery backup then you should be able to measure rain at any time 🙂

You can place that switch 100m away from the router. (100m with a good cat6 100%copper cable, 65m with a cheap one)

Thank you! ​@@cotasa

Just plug it in (if you don't have an ethernet port, get a usb-ethernet adapter. If your pc has wifi, just connect through wifi

Bro did you find out? I have the same problem

I have same problem,it didn't allow router more than one.

@@AngelaMelgar-p4c you can but you need to set second router as access point mode

Any access point would do the same, and if you are not far from the starlink router, your wifi will work just fine

@@cotasa I way less significant download speeds while using the 1st starlink router.

​@@NatMGby ditching, you mean bypass mode?

@@TechDripPH this comment was made before any updates were released regarding mesh capabilities

@@NatMG yeah I became curious because of your comment and did a little research and found out that it is possible to use the dish without the router powering it. Thank you

What seal is that???? I’m just about to change my filter…

There is a rubber washer/seal that goes on the threaded filter nipple. It cones with the filters. Looks almost like a garden hose sealing washer just smaller diameter

No seal came with my OEM part.
