She had burnt exhaust valve seats, blown head gasket, pitting on the # 3 piston and 8,793 hours showing on the clock. Yanmar couldn't provide the replacement parts and I didn't want to spend $1500.00 for used head to put on a motor with nearly 9,000 hours and 31 years old. I actually bought the 3GM30F in Japan in 1985, the motor was so old that it didn't have glow plugs. It replaced the Volvo MD 2 that C&C put in the boat in 1974.
I just hate to cheap my boat so everything that goes into or on her is always new and has been since we purchased her in November of 1975. Fortunately for me, I export boats and yachts (sail & power) for many of the major USA builders still in business as well importing sailing yachts for a number of European builders so I can usually ask for and get a favor or two when comes to updates and parts, etc..
