 Good Grief, Is an engine a motor?    According to websters  “People use both interchangeably, but the difference is that motors run on electricity and engines run on combustion. The engine converts various forms of fuels into mechanical force, while the motor transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy.” What blew up in the chevy 6 in the first place?

I hope you are using a good grade of motor oil on your way to a motor sports event and have time to glance through the latest Motor Trend magazine.

The 4.3 succumbed to internal freeze damage that cracked the block allowing water to fill the crankcase. It happened before I bought the boat and did not surface until AFTER the boat was test driven in the lake. The boat has 90 hours on it. It ran fine on the test drive and had no obvious issues.
The previous owner was a really nice old gentleman and he agreed to pay for a new engine if I would install  it, since he had told me there was no problem with the engine.

So, now I will have a boat with very low hours and a brand new engine.

And hopefully the last boat engine with a bowtie on it that I will ever touch.
