Dear folks,
Cesar Hernandez here. Don't own a sailboat but my daughter do (Catalina 30 with an A-4 gas engine). Her newer model engine is in my living room being torn down. She was given an older model A-4 that was from another boat (replaced with diesel) in better shape than the one being torn down. The issue is that the new model A-4 is raw water cooled and the older A-4 was fresh water cooled, so the cylinder heads are bit different. The older A-4 engine water disposal setup is configured differently enough that it won't fit in her boat engine space so I either need to get real creative or was wondering if an exchange of cylinder heads was possible, (new engine cylinder head put on old engine engine block would work)? Any help on this issue would be helpful
