ENGINE REBUILD (Ep. 28) | Rebuilding our 185hp diesel engine on our boat

In this video we tackle the rebuild of our 185hp diesel engine aboard Camara. When we rebuilt the boat we never could afford to replace the engine, so we gave it a service and have been dealing with oil leaks and dirty bilges ever since. We finally saved up and ordered a rebuild kit from the UK and when we went on the dock during cyclone Gabrielle we thought we kill two birds with one stone and tackle the engine rebuild at the same time, making the most of our time on the dock. If you are also about to rebuild your engine, hopefully you can find some useful information and motivation from this video.
