Main Message Board / What's a healthy engine sound like?
« on: Yesterday at 01:25:37 PM »
I've been reading with interest the thread on alternator belts and engine temp, and taking a look at my engine. At 23 years old, but low hours (less than 900), it seems like it's in good shape, but I don't know what a diesel marine engine is supposed to sound like. I have no reference, as compared to a car, which I know what is normal.
This may sound odd, but can I get some feedback on the way the engine 'sounds'? There are 2 vids, one idiling and another with forward engaged at idle. She's tied up at the dock still if that matters.
How does the old girl sound? Anything to look into? Also, a couple of pics of the back of the engine, just in case!
