Hi all - I purchased a 1990 4207 with Cat 3208 TAs a few months ago. Starboard engine was smoking when purchased and seller felt like it was fuel nozzle overfeed, so I thought that would be a fairly inexpensive fix(relatively speaking). Had a diesel tech start to work on that issue and when he took off valve cover on right side (looking at front of engine) found a bent rod and loose valve spring. Other side had three bent rods. Evindence also that engine may have over heated at some point. So much for trusting what a seller says. In any event, I've had two other people look at it and they say it's best to replace the engine. I've been told $30k-$35k. I paid $60k for the boat and was willing to put $10k into it, but not $30k-$35k. How would one get the engine out? Piece by piece down to the block and take the block out a window? There a re some other things that need fixing as well. Any one interested in a project boat for $40k? Boat is in Nashville, TN.
