LM318 Rebuild Kits

Well its looking like I am going to have to rebuild my LM318 and I am wondering if anyone knows of a good company selling complete kits or if the components are the same as automotive. Also going to need to find a book with good specifications for this engine. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the tips! I just want to smooth out the drivetrain. My last two boats I had OMC drivetrains in and had them dialed in great and they literally purred like kittens. This one sounds more like a drunken oaf stumbling home and I doubt that is the way it should be lol. Its just rough and needs...

Sounds like sound advice! Ialready have plans to rewire the boat. I hate electrical problems and boats are plagued with em. I always rewire as one of my first projects.

That would be awesome!

Pics giving good coverage of the cabin, the bathroom and the cockpit area would be best. I really appreciate the help, just send it to sportfishermanssvc@comcast.netnospam and remove the nospam from it.

I really appreciate this! I am dying to get started
