Re: G16 engine vs salt water
Just my .02 but even if that engine runs, it still ain’t right. Think I’d just call that one a loss, it’s probably worth more in spare parts than as an engine. Especially if salt water got inside it at all

Re: G16 engine vs salt water
No water ever got high enough to enter the engine, it was just that it sat in the salt water many times.

Re: G16 engine vs salt water
Oof
Looks like a lot of the ford trucks I see bouncing down the road here like the frame is structurally made from overcooked spaghetti For some reason it’s always ford f250 and f350. The back of the cab all dented in from where the bed bounces into it |

Re: G16 engine vs salt water
It's got to be something about the specific metallurgy Yamaha was using. We have had several local campground customers wanting us to look out for old Yami's with good frame they could transplant their good engine into. Yes, we're in the rust belt, but a long way from salt water.

Re: G16 engine vs salt water
Gonna try these sway bar end link bushings to use as cheap motor mounts. The kit came with 8 bushings and washers. It was only 15 bucks and in stock at the local parts store.
The metal angle on the engine was just under an 1/8th inch thickness. |

Re: G16 engine vs salt water
The only word of caution I might add into the discussion - dissimilar metals. If that was galvanized angle - the zinc and al will make a hell of a battery, and corrode even faster. If you can find a chunk of al angle, might be able to make the angle more of the sacrifical metal vs. the block. Good Luck !

Re: G16 engine vs salt water
This is all just temporary, to assemble the cart and test the engine and rear differential/transmission for operation.
