Hey guys, been a while since I was on here last and now that the weather is starting to get better i've just started work on my project boat again.
I've rebuilt one of the engines with new crank, pistons etc and managed to get it started up yesterday which was great. One issue I found was that there appears to be a lot of engine shake/vibration off the engine at idle and when under power. I started the engine without any prop shafts or anything connected. Are the 720s generally known to shake a bit or is there something i'm missing?
All the mounts are tight, and in great condition.
A few pics of my process so far.
Engine bay when I had it. Left motor locked solid.
New oil lines and primed ready to be fitted
Pulled the 2nd motor to give it a going over with new oil lines a good clean and some paint etc
Hours and hours cleaning
Where I am now
