PNW Yanmar engine service

[dmksails]

Looking for recommendations for where I can have the head of my 3GM30F serviced - basically cleaned up and the values checked. I'm locate in Port Townsend.

We are in Mexico now - but for the 6 years when we were in the PNW on our current boat and the 5 years for our previous boat we always used Auxiliary Engine & Generator Service which is located adjacent to Shilshole Marina. Not cheap, but everything they have done for us has worked out well.

Check with Tacoma Diesel. I'm not sure what kind of head work they do in house. They started farming out a lot of the machine work several years ago. When I rebuilt my Cummins 855 they sent me to Cam Grinders in Seattle for all the block work

For that rebuild I got reman heads from NW Casting Service in Portland. They're not great, but they work. The cooling passages for the water rail are badly pitted and I have a hard time keeping them sealed. They're now called Pilot Engines, not sure if quality improved

Not to sure I’d clean up a head without barrel home rings and wrist pins.

I saw a 4 door Holden Beater with a Chrysler small Hemi in it. I imagine Australian mechanics are amazing Folks. I limped a Toyota van around there.

I’ve rebuilt a 3 cylinder Yanmar by replacing parts and honing the barrels.
Cost $800.00 for a new head delivered and 240$ for gasket set. We did a complete bearing on the block new Welch plugs $200.00
New pistons rings and wrist pins set of 3 $700.00.delivered. I sent the injectors in 150$ cleaning and tip. I told my pal up front it’s easier to buy a replacement engine for $4500.00 from Yanmar.
