A4 for sale Grasonville MD

I saw this engine at Anchors and Oars ((410) 304-2013)
No knowledge of it other than looking at it, it seems to be very nice. They also have 2 junker engines outside.

It is open at each end. It would have to inflate pretty quick to make a noticeable change and it would then be popping and shooting oil all over. Slowly changing from 0.25 to 0.29 inches would do...

I would *not* use fuel line. It normally runs at about 5 PSI. No need to bleed the gauge, it doesn't really matter if oil or air gets shoved up to the gauge.

You may want to find a better gauge. The connection should be a flare or maybe compression.

You need something rated for at least 300 PSI. Copper is common, but you need a flexible section between that and the engine. As mentioned, grease gun hose is a cheap way to acquire such a thing....

Unless it was synthetic oil specifically designed for wet clutches, i.e motorcycles, it is doing one hell of a job making things slippery in the transmission that won't work when slippery :eek:

I would stick with diesel or MMO as a cleanser and in either case a couple cans of SeaFoam will help. Both of them have some lubricating qualities as well as solvent/cleanser ability.

Actually marine life does not care about pink vs. green. Unless you plan to dump it some place where dogs, cats, or humans might drink it, don't worry about it. Fish don't care. It's a mammal thing ;)
