Westerbeke questions

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! Alfred Poor 1973 Tartan 34C #288 "Jambalaya"

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. *Joe DeMers - owner* Sound Marine Diesel LLC SoundMarineDiesel.com <http://www.soundmarinediesel.com/> *phone & fax (860) 666-2184* On 4/15/2013 3:12 PM, Alfred Poor wrote: > > > Ahoy, fellow Cal Listees.
