Good tip I found from doing my own manifolds to keep the gasket in place. Cut the heads off two of the old manifold bolts. Cut a notch in the end of them with a grinder. That notch is so you can un screw the bolt. Thread the cut off bolts into the outer two ends of the block. Slide your gasket on and then your manifold. Install the two middle bolts and snug them. Remove the two guide bolts from the outer ends and install the new ones. Following this procedure makes it SO much easier when you’re doing the job yourself.

Good video guys.... but regarding the clamptite tool; If you have serpentine belts on your engines and you are going to the trouble to buy this tool and keep it on board along with tools to get the belt off and cut the excess wire......why wouldn't you just carry a spare belt so you could just switch it out? I mean, you are already removing the belt from the engine so why put a patched belt back on that will most likely fail again before you get back to port? Am I missing something here? Never the less, you make good videos and I am giving this a thumbs up!

lol so true. First thing I thought about and I already carry a spare belt with me all the time. Maybe this is meant if you break the spare too!?

Love taps on the head of rusty bolts..heat....work it loose and tighten in small increments. It would take about 2789 years give or take for pen oil to crawl down into those threads..

I do believe that this refers to salt water. Fresh water you go much much longer.

i'm thinking of getting into the marine industry and I would like to know what the job description is. is there a lot of heavy lifting or is it hard and also does it pays good.
@swigsfx25827 жыл бұрын
bruh.....why would you spray the heads with penetrating oil when the threads are 6 inches from the bolt heads.....?
@senseisecurityschool93374 жыл бұрын
Spray both - the head and the rust in the inches below the head has some significant friction too.
@michaeltatham43076 жыл бұрын
You don't soak the head of the bolt on the riser, you soak the threads below.

You said the ALL marine gas engines have a Chevy block. But Pleasure Craft Marine uses both Chevy and Ford 302, 351. The starters are mounted differently for one.

rhanisee Yup, Mercruiser used Ford 302s and 351s but they stopped at the end of the 70s and went to Chevy engines

Big oversight in this video. Those engines are raw water, not fresh water cooled. You don't need to change "manifolds" (generally speaking) on FWC engines, just risers and elbows. The belt "repair" setup is the stupidest things I've ever seen. What happens when the belt is shredded and not a clean break? Just carry and extra belt...duh.
