I'm looking at a 96 with a pennisula with 900 hours. How do I find out of this is one of the problem engines? I'm not totally useless but I'm an engine idiot. Thanks in advance.

That's the boat and motor I have. I have had it 2 years runs great.

24 years, 900 hours and still running good?
Probably a good deal...

I got the Yanmar, the model year with the valve guide problems, but all good now. (2001)

Thank you for the replies. I was wondering if the engine problems appear after time or due to hours used? I am thinking a good diesel mechanic would be able to check it out during a survey.

If I recall the problem years were early 90s. (93-95?) Plus it happened on engines that were not maintained and run hard. I'm pretty sure you would have known by now.
