SAILING MISHAPS: An inch away from a full rebuild..

A push rod went SLAMMING into the rocker assembly, and had caused some pretty significant damage. Do we need to rebuild the engine? Or do we get lucky?

Trouble is- we were in a pandemic, had a university degree to finish, on a student budget, only had ever sailed dingies, oh and didn’t have a boat. The dream seemed not only unrealistic but pretty insane. However, we worked hard, finished our degrees, worked as many hours as physically possible, saved with all our might, got experience and in March 2022 bought our very own sailboat, Teulu. Having little sailing experience and being a young couple, we have encountered a tonne of hurdles and made plenty of mistakes! but for every downfall, there has always been a reason to dust ourselves off and carry on. We hope you can join us as we sail around the world and keep #bloodydoingit *Timestamps* 00:00 Intro 01:18 Welcome to Vista Mar 02:11 Engine parts 03:26 The engine work begins 04:30 Removing the fuel injectors 05:47 Removing the rocker assembly 06:02 Missing valve collet 06:37 Removing the push rods 08:29 Breaking the news to Becka... 10:23 More parts needed! 10:50 Inspecting the damage 12:36 Putting it all back together 18:10 Fitting a new anti-siphon valve 19:37 Removing air from the system and starting the engine 22:08 Chris' Birthday 22:29 Driving and exploring to Anton Valley 27:02 Getting a bit lost… 30:15 Getting to the air bnb at last! 33:00 Morning waterfall hike 37:15 Finding some frogs 38:46 Saying goodbye :( #sailing #boatlife #travel
