    If you buy a crate 514, follow the recommendation of adding clearance to the rods and mains for marine use. They come from Ford with street type clearances which are a little tight for boat use.

    I believe and 058 can correct me ifin I is wrong but because of the constant load on the engine the oil gets hotter along with everything else thus needed greater clearances to keep from running metal on metal.
