We were on our sea trial to sell and our starboard engine dropped a valve. The TMAD 60C Volvo Penta continued to run, has good oil pressure, no obscene noises, does not run hot. The skip is there, and the back pressure can be felt at the oil cap with it removed. Fordham in Jax estimated repairs at $8K to 18K depending on parts. Fordham, of course, overestimated adding in replacement of the Turbo even though there is no damage. You fix it or have a tech you trust to fix it. The blog of our adventures and all the details are here. Please read before asking questions to save time if you are truly interested. John Gallagher was the surveyor on board, you may be able to buy a copy of the out of water survey. Offered for $34900. make me an offer. I can send pictures, copy of last survey from 2016, not this past Sept 2017.
