Volvo Penta AQ171C Engine Restore Project

Winter 2017 - Spring 2018 engine restore project. Two AQ171C with 750 hours stripped and restored. Will be used to swap-out original AQ151A engines on the Fjord Dolphin 840.

Hi ime looking for some manifolds for my aq171 engines did u make yours?

[@munjadejan45]

Please be so kind and explain how you make timing of timing belt

[@Securedrives1]

Find top dead centre. Then the two cam pulleys have a mark which needs to be inline with the mark on the rocker cover. Everything is pre-marked. There is a mark on the crank wheel and then marks on the cam pulleys and then a mark on the rocker covers.

Hi, good job. I have the same engine and just starting renovation. Can you advise with choke you used ? Original out of production Thanks Tom

[@Securedrives1]

Tom, I restored the original Solex carbs so did not change the choke. I did explore changing the engine to EFI with Yoshifab based in the US. Price for all parts was about $1,500.

Original carbs Solex 44 PAI. Just restored. Idle jets are 60 in size.
