Yanmar 3GM30F Top End Rebuild With NO EXPERIENCE I Cylinder Head Pt 3 I Ep. 34

YANMAR 3GM30F Top End Rebuild with NO EXPERIENCE! Pt. 3 I Ep. 34 This is part three of our YANMAR 3GM30F Top End Rebuild! Follow our journey as we service our YANMAR diesel engine... In this episode we have a visit from our friends Chasing Currents and we get to work to return the cylinder head! If you have been watching our sailing couple vlog so far, you will know we took Indiana on a voyage to the Solent and sailed our sailboat back to Brighton. We came back to 6 litres of water in our YANMAR sailboat engine bilge and some serious diesel engine issues! Our YANMAR 3GM30F diesel engine needed some work! With the cost of a marine mechanic being way more than we could afford, we decided to roll up our sleeves and tackle the job head on! In the last two episodes we showed you how to remove a cylinder head, refurbish the cylinder head, which included lapping vales and skimming the mating surface and an injector overhaul with a hunt for a head gasket. You may have seen our YouTube sailing engine video 'HOW to get your ENGINE STARTED' episode earlier in the year, when we had issues cold starting our diesel engine. We guess this is the price you pay for buying a sailboat with no experience! When buying a sailboat, we thought we would have more sailing experience by now, but it seems we have got more experience in rigging and marine diesel engine maintenance! This is the reality of living aboard a sailboat. However, our Gib'sea 372 has proven herself many times over. So there's a bit more sailboat maintenance to tackle but lets hope with a little more elbow grease, we will soon be back out sailing around the UK and then one day, sailing around the world! Stay tuned for PT.4 of the YANMAR engine Top End Rebuild with No Experience!
