Installing the M25XP engine after the Damper Plate replacement
Friday was a long day! We started by setting up the Air Conditioning, by 10am, it was already 96ºF and that was not easy ( see the post about that here ).
With the boat cooling down, I started on the reinstall.
Here's the progress on the check off list.
Install Heat Exchanger4 Hoses connecting the engine and the heat exchanger to the exhaust system.Glow Plug supply wire- Oil Pressure switch wire
Coolant Temperature wireCoolant High Temp wireStarter Solenoid WireStarter power wireRaw Water pump hosesCoolant pump hosesFuel supply hoseFuel return hoseInstall Alternator4 pin Alternator plug- Alternator +ve wire
Alternator -ve WireAlternator Temp Sense-ve Ground master wire to engine ( Bell housing )
- Connect Drive Shaft
Connect Throttle cableConnect Engine Stop CableConnect Gear change cable- Bleed the Fuel System
- Change the Gearbox Oil
- Refill the Coolant System
- Tension the Alternator
- Shim the Alternator support ( Alternator alignment )
- Align the Engine to Propshaft
So that's the plan for Monday. Going to be busy but if all goes well, we'll be ready for the realignment for either Tuesday or Wednesday.
Note: In order to ensure there's no risk of shorting out the Alternator +ve wire while reconnecting it we have to ensure it is not a live conductor. Before I reconnect the Alternator +ve wire which is currently insulated from shorting out against anything, I'll turn the Solar Master Disconnect switch to off, then turn off the Battery Master Disconnect, remove the temporary terminal insulation, connect the +ve wire to the alternator, turn on the Battery Master Disconnect switch and then the Master Solar Disconnect Switch.
