J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum The Boat, Sails and Equipment Yanmar 2GM Rebuild for Rhapsody

My winter has been filled with time taken to document the rebuild of Rhapsody's Yanmar 2GM diesel engine. I put together a website that has pictures of the rebuild along the way, along with some of my editorial comments. There is a 2nd page that has helpful Yanmar 2GM links.

This 25 year old engine now looks brand new. It is ready to install back in the boat and reconnect the linkages, hoses and electrical system. I've also recirculated the fuel using an electric fuel pump and Racor filter to get rid of "Diesel Bug". I'll do a final recirc this spring using a 2 micron Racor filter, then reconnect the fuel lines to the engine and bleed the system. It should crank right up!

Hopefully there is information here that will help others who want to tackle their Yanmar. This is a fairly simple engine, compared to the race car engines I used to build in the 70's!
