Westerbeke and Universal, individualy or combined have produced several 30hp auxiliary engines. Can you provide the complete engine model designator

The engine is the 4 91 built by british leyland.I think all the wet.manifolds are the same?

4-91 is 15hp IIRC, and much different than a W30, 30B, 30BXX and others.
I will need to look at the hard copy of the manual Monday to see how the manifold is removed.

1. Remove the bolts at each end of the manifold.
2. Back off the remaining 4 inside nuts until they're almost off, using an open end wrench.
3. Lift the manifold straight up.
The inside bolt holes are slotted so the removal is really straight forward.
The engine is based on the BMC/Leyland 1.5D "B" series diesel.
