Well admitedly, 3 cylinder yanmars are not my stong point, i had one, but never had to do anything major to it, I did work on a three cylinder motorcyle, that had two pistons top of the stroke, and one bottom of the stroke, my engine re build skills came more from Jaguar, Porsche, MG, Austin, Ford etc, mainly straight fours, and straight sixes, with a couple of boxer engines, and and worked on one V6. For rebuild purposes an engine, is an engine, a diesel, just has a higher compression, and so is built stronger than a gas engine, but other than that its the same thing, and the same re build rules apply.AL, the crank pins on a three cyl Yanmar are at 120 degree intervals..
Thats funny, i was in the british merchant marine for about 15 years, and we used that word, FUBAR, all the time. Their is a whole book of seman sayings, it was written by, Rick Jolly, he was a doctor with the Royan Navy, and was in the Falklands war, he wrote Jack speak, which is all the sayings used by the navy, Its a very interesting book, some of the sayings go way back, but are still in use today, i once heard a sailor say of a new captain "i dont like the cut of that mans jib" that goes back to the war with france, where a french man of war, was distinct because of its jib, so when they spotted a ship, and the captain saw it through the tele scope, he would say "dont like the cut of that jib" At which point, he would tell the cabin boy to bring him his brown trousers.Five years in the Navy
When i rebuild an engine, i put every component in the dishwasher, and run it on the pot scrub cycle, my mom used to hate that, when she would open the dishwasher, and in their would be a cylinder head, and four pistons, then when i lived on my own, i had a little production line going, with components going through the dishwasher, now my wife has warned me, if she finds as much as a bolt in there, we are getting divorced, A dog a woman and a walnut tree, the more you beat them, the better they be, I just was never into beating her, maybe i should have been.So, what do I do with the gear once out waiting for the engine to be rebuilt.
Yea i am familiar with that rule, unfortunately, they made it illegal, and i could never convince my wife, that the rule of thumb, was something that she should obey, she wont let me even hit the cats.I am sure you're familiar with the rule of thumb
