Updates on the engine room!
Well Jerry and I went back down in the engine room to clean out the bilge of antifreeze. The day before Jerry and John from Magus, took off both heat exchangers, which are running raw water through cylinders to cool down the oil and the water going into the engine. After these were removed then the fuel pump was accessible, it turned out that the gasket was bad and needed to be replaced, luckily Jerry had gasket material on board. After cutting out a new gasket, and replacing the fuel pump and the heat exchangers, turning on the engine for an hour, and going below to look....no oil. Yeah, so now we think we found the problem, one major project done....oh who knows how many to go!
