It shore is purty.

I notice that the shift lever is on the opposite side as is mine. Can it be moved from one side to the other easily?

Cool! If the team has time some day, it would be neat to see one with all the MMI kits installed too.

It's very easy to move the shifting lever from side to side on one of our exchange engines. We use our own levers that have been designed with a split-hub to secure them to the shaft. Universal's shifting levers had a simple hole in the hub with a square headed set-screw and they tended to "marry' themselves to the cross shaft, which usually required a press to remove - meaning that it was only possible to remove them when the reversing gear was removed as during an overhaul.

Thumbs up Such clarity and detail!

Wow! Thank you. I like being able to see the detail so clearly. Would be nice also to see the detail of the sides of the block without the alternator, electric fuel pump etc. but what you have is such an improvement from other pics. It is great.

Question I am curious

In gazing at this beauty, I noticed two things.

There looks like some connection to the access to the oil pan plug on the port side under/between the carb and fuel pump. Am I seeing things? What is that?

What was used for the great setup between T-fitting on the water jacket side plate and therm housing bonnet. Convenient for diverting water to the jacket, especially when winterizing. Are the fittings available from MMI? Hope so.

Mary,

The fitting you see on top of the 3/4" pipe plug on the oil pan below the carburetor is part of our MMI oil change kit, which we include on each of our exchange engines to encourage oil changing at regular intervals. We left the hose off of the kit for this photo because we felt it needlessly cluttered up the photo.

Do you plug the oil change hose under running conditions?

I'll second the vote for a 'bypass hose shut-off kit'. I started looking for a way to build a nice, clean, neat looking set up like that and haven't found it yet.

I spoke to MMI today. Their original bypass kit CSOT_01_61 uses a spring loaded check valve, but they sell the manual valve separately (CSOT_01_319 I think), which can be used instead of the spring check valve.

my oil change kit came with a fitting for the end of the rubber hose and a screw cap that goes on the fitting. So, under running conditions, the hose is coiled loosely in the engine compartment, and the cap is screwed on the end, keeping it closed. No muss, no fuss

Jesse, thanks for the information. I am currently using a hand pump to pump the oil out thru the dipstick tube...I was able to get almost 4 quarts on Tuesday when I changed the oil after delivering the boat to the travel-lift slip..a little messy, but not too bad. Warm oil helps!

Also, since my last post to this thread, I've found the bypass valve kit thru MMI. I think rigspelt posted the part number already!

Thanks everyone..keep up the great work at this site.
-Shawn

I just wanted to tell everyone what a great tool / resource all the pics on this sight have been. I've utilized the pin-ups and other pics to help plan my MMO engine exchange. It's been great to bring up a photo or two to compare the different (early, late) engine models and it's also helped me size parts without having to travel to the boat from time to time. So Thank you ALL for the pictures! Keep sending them!

Chris

aft block drain tube

I am curious if there is a fitting on the aft block drain at the block? I just recently had to drill out my hole to accept a 1/4" tube as hole had deteriorated and would no longer hold the 1/8" pipe. It looks like it might be some kind of lock nut, but I have no idea how that would work on pipe thread (tapered)?

Yes. The kit comes with a fitting & plug to put at the end of the hose. Works great! Makes changing the oil a five minute, no mess operation.
