YANMAR 3GM30F Top End Rebuild with NO EXPERIENCE! Pt. 1 I Ep. 31

YANMAR 3GM30F Top End Rebuild with NO EXPERIENCE! Pt. 1 I Ep. 31 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 engine bilge and some serious engine issues! Our YANMAR 3GM30F 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 this episode you we will show you how to remove a cylinder head and in future episodes, you will see us get the cylinder head refurbished, which includes lapping vales and skimming the mating surface. We also undertake an injector overhaul and hunt for a head gasket. You may have seen our '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 engine maintenance! This is the reality of living aboard a sailboat. However, our Gibsea 372 has proven herself many times over. so 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.2 of the YANMAR engine Top End Rebuild with No Experience!
