I got my Yanmar 3QM engine back from the rebuilders and into the boat yesterday. They were unable to determine the precise cause of the blow by that caused the oil evacuation. Might have been stuck rings. In any event, they installed new piston assemblies, cylinder liners, bearings and exhaust valves. It took them 3 hours to remove the injector I was unable to when I tried two years ago.
In short, I should have a fine "new" engine once I bolt it in place and hook everything up. Total cost: about $4,500 not counting my R&R labour. Rich Knowles Indigo - LF38 Halifax.
