Re: Bad valve gasket on 3 year old engine?
Hi Ron's
well..first off...welcome to the zoo......sorry to hear about getting towed in but to be honest..with a used boat..I would have walked around the engine with a wrench and socket set and some screwdrivers to tighten things up and to make sure things aren't working loose...I do that every now and then just to make sure things don't leak...it's not unusual for an engine to vibrate and bolts will loosen...
the loss of pwr is another matter..could be oil on the plug wires shorting them out...could be something even worse...like a blown head gasket...when you checked the oil..did it look like coffee??..cuz then you have water in the oil and probably a blown head gasket...cracked block...etc....so..I'd have the shop do a compression check to make sure everything is fine there..
