Thank you for all of the welcomes! They are Volvo 5.7 gxi. Listen if there is a bad apple somewhere, we will find it. We were able to discover from mechanic that the "good" engine suffered from bad injector(s). That's on us. Previous maintenance miss. The "bad" engine -- started out bad from day 1. They replaced heads and more but would not replace engine. They did the same thing 3 more times. Still no replace. Finally we worked with mechanic in Florida and a machine shop (that's the depth of my knowledge) and that engine has been somewhat stable. Recent issue was pretty minor. Water flow issue. Now we have a bow thruster issue. Certainly not a huge priority except I want it to work :)
