Can you remove one of the bolts?
Take it to Blackwoods, opposite Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club, they should be able to match it or point you in the right direction.
For your bearings, you could try CBC Bearings. Maitland Rd. Mayfield West, or SKF Bearings. Frieisan Rd Sandgate.

Hi Cruisers,

Can anyone point me in the right direction please...needing 4 Bolts for Thrust Bearing in BUKH 20hp Diesel...
or complete bearing ....

Hazzard

SV Future Days-Port Stephens NSW

all bukh bolts are metric Bunnings have metric bolts for very average use .A
bolt shop would be OK for grade 8
It would help if you could explain thrust bearing and or where this is located please




If any one would like this dv20 complete less alternator and engine mounts pm me its going cheap @ western port less than $300 no gear box included comes with a starter motor

it does have a head gasket problem
run OK on both cylinders and no water in the oil but the head gasket need replacement
It ran OK from port Philip to western port not a problem
close up of the water leak directly under the engine exhaust pipe
the anode plug can be seen on the left


Only found the leak after I removed the motor its in the blind side



Basically I have enough to do with out repairing this motor . If I was rebuilding it Id fit new rings and valve grind before I bought it it had very little use and I think sitting on a mooring not being use would have helped with the head gasket leak
The fly wheel is included just found it easier to manoever and remove from the boat just the front engine mounts have been used for the dv24

Yes the bearing bolts on to the gearbox externally ...once I remove it from prop shaft will have better idea of size etc...and what caused it...I'm hoping they just worked their way loose over time....will have a "rat around" the sump see if I can find something!!
