Re: Universal M30 white and black exhaust

Re: Universal M30 white and black exhaust

There is one thing that still troubles me about your saga & that is that the motor was running before you pulled the head off ( albeit badly) but not after you re-installed it.
Are we missing...

Re: Universal M30 white and black exhaust

Hell yes it needs a rebuild. If you can do a 3 cylinder engine for under $600 you are lucky. If it was a Yanmar in NZ you'd be looking at $3000+ if you had to buy parts from a Yanmar marine agent.
