Engine Block Maker Quest

Trying to figure out who made the block/motor for Westerbeke who marinized it into the W27. The stocker alternator is a Mitsubishi M65R, leading me to believe it's a Mitsubishi block.

Might also be a British Leyland block?

Engine oil and filter change - Engine hours 2760 8/21/10

Changed oil as it had sat all winter. Replaced with FRAM PH3593A.

Heat Exchanger Rebuild - $360 Refunded

Water was no longer flowing out of wet exhaust. After checking the impeller and ensuring flow to the heat exchanger, I pulled it off to be rebuilt. It was rebuilt in Dallas by Superior Cooling. Cleaned rebuilt, and given a red epoxy coat.

Rebuild failed, got money back plus rebuilt properly as spare. Stored under quarterberth

Re-stitched Jib UV Protector - $137

Checked heat exchanger engine zinc. Little to no corrosion, left in.

Reconnected propane solenoid in locker - 1/22/09

The connection from the solenoid switch to the actual solenoid in the
locker wasn't done with heat shrink connections. When I cut the
connections there was some corrosion on the vessel side of the wiring.

I trimmed that back to better wire and reconnected the wiring with
Ancor crimp connectors and heat shrink.

Installed port LED V-Berth light and Fan - 1/23/10

Finished installing the port side Imtra Sydney LED reading light and
re-hung the fan with it's own switch. The install is much cleaner and
the fan seems to be quieter.

Now we can both easily read.

Cleaned Velcro from settee backs - 1/23/10

Christie and Casey used goo gone, razor blades and elbow grease to
remove all the old Velcro from the fiberglass behind the settees. I'm
hoping we don't have to replace it, though I imagine in any seaway the
cushions will fall down.

Installed Solarvent in head cabintop - 1/24/10 - $120

Today I installed a Nicro day/night plus solar vent for the head. I
purchased the vent on eBay.

I removed the chimney outlet from the former propane water heater, and
enlarged the whole by about a 1/2". I then epoxied the deck core with
west systems un-thickened. After that dried I siliconed in the inside
trim ring then siliconed the outer vent in.

Since it's solar powered with a battery for backup this should lead to
constant fresh air in the head. I will have to test whether is should
run on exhaust or intake.

Refill Propane Tanks - 1/22/10 - $16.00

Refilled both 2.5 pound propane tanks for $16.00
