Hiya, and thank you, these videos are very informative. Is the Facebook page still working? I am looking and learning on behalf of a friend, She bought a boat which came with a 1500 BMC engine but wasn't actually installed. She was told that the engine had been rebuilt and was ready to go back in. I know nothing about these engines particular engine's but within 30 seconds I noticed that the bell housing is missing. It doesn't actually look too bad but after looking in the rocker box cover I don't think it had just been rebuilt. Any advice on these engines and where to find parts would be very much appreciated.

@@jonesmaintenanceservices4987 thanks mate, I'll get my friend to post as I don't actually have FB myself. The engine and gearbox have been sitting a long time but I think it's pretty much ok, the biggest thing is obviously the missing bell housing. I'll get her to post a few pictures Later, I'm not familiar with these engines so there might be other things that I've not noticed and any advice is welcome 👍
