The Re-Incarnation of an old diesel engine.

At 33 years old, this engine was crying out for some TLC. I still needs a few new gaskets to make it ready for re-installation on my Aries-32, The Chester P, seen in the background. This is a Westerbeke 30, with a 1978 date code on the block.
Brownie, seen in here, owns a shop in Santa Ana, CA. that specializes in fiberglass rudders and keels. If he can't find a part, he'll make it, and is excellent at tooling up a project. I'm one happy owner of an old diesel. Once the gaskets arrive, we should be able to re-install this engine before the end of the year.

Actually, British Leyland, or Leyland Ford 1500D. The gas version of this block was used in the MGB for years... do you own one? I just paid $80 each for new glow-plugs by Bosch. The Champion AG-32's are no longer manufactured in the US... bummer man.
