Thank you for uploading this video, I'm currently trying to restore a seized Perkins M30, similar your MD2030, and about to take off the pump, really helpful.. Really nice boat also..
Good job you two. The amount of Hylomar looked right to me. I have a flexible driver for hose clips. I can highly recommend getting one. Its one of the most used tools onboard Adagio as it can get in at difficult to get to angles. Putting the end of the header tank hose in a container of hot water would have made it easier to fit, but I expect you know that!
Hi Andy. Thanks for your positive comment I will look into the flexible driver for hose clips - sounds like a winner 😁🪛👍Yes, I should definitely have used hot water with the hose! Sometimes we forget the obvious 🤣🤣
Great video ! Super idea to trace the part on cardboard and make holes to put the bolts in. 👍 so much easier to replace. Also you can never use too much sealant . Look forward to the next video from you both.
Hello, and thanks for your kind comment. The cardboard idea has saved me lots of time looking for bolts that "I just put down here" 🤣 Love the sealant comment 👍👍 Next video is in the making ⛵🛠️🪛🔩⚙️😁
Nice trick to remove water pump pulley. I will suggest placing a rag or old tee-shirt cover for the alternator vanes to protect knuckles. The water pump outline looks like one of the isles you visited. I think youre ok with the Hylomar, as long as you have a thin uniform coat. Great video!
Hi Olive. Thanks for your comment and a great tip to protect knuckles 👍 I had not thought of the shape of the pump being like an island, but now you mention it....😁 Hylomar was put on as you described so should be good 👍👍😁 Glad you enjoyed the video.
Thank you for the very well made video. An interesting improvement would be to replace the square of the water outlet on the engine block with a drain cock, which can also be obtained from Volvo Penta; this would make it much easier to change the coolant. I have a question about the use of Hylomar sealant. Why did you coat the entire seal with Hylomar and not the small area shown in the workshop manual? Please do not take this as criticism. (Please excuse my poor English.)
Hello Wilhelm. Thank you for your kind comment. I have seen the drain fitting you suggest and it looks like a good idea. Maybe something for a future job 😁 Using the Crows foot spanner did make it easy though (plus I have some more shiny tools 👍) There were two reasons for coating the gasket all over and not just the area shown. 1: I did not want any leaks and 2: I think it only needed to go where the gasket touched. I hope I am correct.
