Westerbeke questions
Alfred Poor2013-04-15 19:12 UTC
Ahoy, fellow Cal Listees. Our Tartan T34C was repowered with a Westerbeke
W21 (a long time ago). We are coping with the familiar "oil pan rot"
problem, and have probably reached the limits of what epoxy putty can do for
us. This leads me to three questions:
1. Can anyone recommend a good (affordable) source for parts such as a
replacement oil pan?
2. Can anyone confirm that this is the same block as the Mitsubishi K3D?
3. Does anyone know a good source for Mitsubishi parts (if #2 is in fact
true)?
Thanks!

Now for the bad news -
The W21 is an orphan. Mitsubishi built it for about 5 years, then
discontinued it. They no longer support this engine. I don't know if
Westerbeke supports it, but if they have any parts, you will pay dearly
for them.
You may have to talk to a sheet metal welder / fabricator to make you an
oil pan. If the upper half of the pan is OK, a welder can make the lower
half.
