Is it an Isuzu 2AB1 and is it salvageable?
I bought an aluminum sailboat, a Trisbal 36 and the engine is in sad shape.
First of all is it an Isuzu 2AB1? Looks to be and I've Isuzu manuals. :laugher Satyrus's Engine such as it is!
The boat was flooded with rain water and sank at her berth. The engine was submerged in fresh water (rainwater). When I bough it the cylinders and sump were full of water. The water may have been in the engine for years. I can rotate the crankshaft with a socket wrench through 270 degrees. The valves can be manually moved. I have removed the starter, valve cover and injectors. Non of the bolts or nuts were seized nor did I break any bolts in the process. I removed as much water as I could, sprayed in Blaster, rinsed with methanol and sprayed with Blaster again and added oil.
Questions:
- Is it salvageable (ignoring the starter) ?
- If salvageable:
--- do I disassemble enough to get it turning, or do a complete tear down. :hammer
--- What parts do you recommend I replace.
--- Is the injector pump useable/salvageable?
- If the engine is not salvageable, what would you recommend as a replacement:
--- a rebuilt 2Ab1
--- or ????
I tried to upload pictured but the SailNet "Manage Attachments", would not upload even though my jpg. files were less than 95K and less than 800 x 600.
There are pictures at Satyrus's Engine
Thanks for you time.
