[@chrislarsen2307]

Well done guys !

[@sailinguntilvalhalla]

Thanks, we kept her moving that's all that matters

[@ugotlj4133]

So glad u r showing this!! I'm doing the exact same job on the exact same engine in a couple weeks. Thank you, big time, my man!!

[@sailinguntilvalhalla]

No problem we like to show the real stuff in between the relaxing smooth boat days. Hope it helps, good luck on your seal swap, any questions feel free to ask

[@ugotlj4133]

@@sailinguntilvalhalla so u softened up the seal in the oven before pounding it into place?

[@sailinguntilvalhalla]

No not the seal don't heat that just use a little motor oil or grease on the lip of the seal. You put the pulley/harmonic balancer in the oven and heat it so it expands (I go about 200°) and it'll go on by hand. If you don't it's a really tight fit so you'll need to suck it down with a big long bolt and the crank bolt its like a 1" thread which isn't easy to find for me. I've done this method tons of times you can use a rubber mallot to tap it on as well. When you remove the pulley you'll get an idea of the tension and it'll make sense

@@sailinguntilvalhalla Awesome! Thanks, brother!

[@sailinguntilvalhalla]

Yeah good luck man

[@FrankJamger]

Too often wind and tide are out of sync with the plan! Engine misbehaving too, Anthony quick to tackle it. Really nice of the guy to let you borrow his tool, yeah. We'll see how it goes in the next episode (looks like more bad weather?!).

[@sailinguntilvalhalla]

Yeah wind forecasts have been really off up here lately which is making some interesting runs. Yeah he really saved us with that tool, we couldn't thank him enough. Yeah weather gets even worse after this but we're still pushing north just trying to pick the best windows we can

[@quentin-andrew5585]

did I miss a full oil change?

[@sailinguntilvalhalla]

We were on the hook when this all happened, ended up heading over to the dock a couple days later and did it there. just don't film engine services as we figure people would be bored watching.

[@dennis6325]

Try using the European model in the windy app. The Canadian forecasts and Navioncs use the NOAA american model...and it sucks!

[@sailinguntilvalhalla]

I'll keep that in mind Thanks, we tried checking other models but after we got north of Vancouver Island weather was so all over the place that time of year we didn't know which one to follow as wind changed so much
