Well the first hour on the water was great. Then a little rattle so I shut her down. Pulled plugs. #6 looked dry and powdery.

Towed to launch ramp to be safe. Pulled head and #6 detonated!!
Now to figure out why. This motor has an ignition ECU and a fuel ECU. A crank sensor& throttle position sensor tell the computer where to set timing. No trigger on these.

I indexed the flywheel for all 6 cylinders marking 0* and 25*

Timing is supposed to be checked with motor running at full throttle. Well how the hell am I gonna do that? Maybe tied down on trailer at ramp-.....at night so I can see the timing light???? Most likely...

I tried it with the starter and they were all between the 0 & 25 marks.

Powerhead is broke down and at the machine shop getting a .005 hone. It was at .015 and some light scoring will come out with the hone. I’ll get a .020 piston and do some more testing..

Got the lower unit back on. A neat trick I do to control the alignment is to use a ratchet strap to hold the lower. If the driveline splines don’t align just add a little pressure and now your free to move flywheel. Same for shift shaft.

I installed my homemade drag plate with “elevator bolts” .
I really like these fasteners. They are found at true value / ACE hardware stores in the nut& bolt isle. They are in the stacked specialty boxes. They have a large flat head so no need for a washer.

The carrier nut hadn’t been torqued yet as my wrench goes to 180# and the nut is 210#.

With the lower mounted, I called a friend with a wrench that would work.

Did you do the nose cone job yourself?

Re: New project- 89 Voyager

Update:
Got the interior all stitched up ( that post is in the interior forum)

I got my block back from the machine shop, bored all six to .015 over. Bought new pistons and a gasket set from ProMarine. Sent injectors off to be checked and cleaned.

It had low compression on 4&6. The injectors weren’t bad so still curious why it scored .

Hung power head, got my 1/2” pipe tap and drill bit so I could finish the nose cone plumbing. I painted the lower with some left over Dodge silver and clear coat .

Getting real close now.
My carpet is at a Phil’s place. He’s 3 hours away so I’ll get it when it’s holding me up.

Still need to assemble seat sliders & swivels and mount seats so I can position the foot throttle. Then run the engine.

Congratulations on your Voyager.
Please start a thread and throw in some pictures.

I started a how to upholstery thread in the interior forum.

Just found this thread and am I glad I did. I also bought an '89 Voyager last summer. Thanks for sharing the rebuild process. Very educational. Cheers and great work!

Those cricuts are handy little machines. A friend of mine owns one and I've had a few decals made up.

Today I was able to fine tune the plywood panels for upholstery. The rear side panels got trimmed down more and the rear seat got trued up and router’d all the edges to soften. ( I see more torn upholstery at hard edges)

The foam and vinyl are en-route. I want to be ready when they arrive....
