We enjoy posting our adventures and the community it creates. <br /><br />I am unsure of the OD & ID of the cutlass bearing. It is four inches long. I simply took the old one over to the boat yard manager and requested that he order a new one. C'est la Vie has a 1" diameter shaft so i assume that that is the ID.<br /><br />Please contact me via the blog or at jeffalovett@gmail.com if you have questions about M34 projects. Hopefully we can help. I look forward to following your progress.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18190539009976527752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1435302445983868783.post-29699871945589191962012-10-26T19:14:31.151-04:002012-10-26T19:14:31.151-04:00Hi Jeff, I just bought a Morgan 34 last month and ...Hi Jeff, I just bought a Morgan 34 last month and will start work on it soon. I love the fact that you have created this blog. It has helped me plan some of the work that is ahead for me. I have to ask what size cutlass bearing did you use? I know mine needs to be replaced. I also must say that the engine compartment looks great. Don't get too down about the oil leaks. Oil leaks are common and normal on some engines. I have worked on cars my whole life. It's not easy to keep an old motor from leaking. I am curious as to what motor that is and how much horsepower it has. A four cylinder diesel looks like a tight squeeze. I have a two cylinder Yanmar that is going into mine. A bit under powered but it came with the boat and is in excellent condition. Thanks for posting all of your work. It is of great value to rest of us.Steven Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632467496606821152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1435302445983868783.post-78431933193166309592012-10-10T06:53:08.121-04:002012-10-10T06:53:08.121-04:00Dani, I'll let you know how well is works onc...Dani, I'll let you know how well is works once we get C'est la Vie back in the water. Installing the sound proofing hs definitely consumed more time than I expected, but thus far I am pleased with the outcome.<br /><br />I created mounting panels that rest on posts beyond the sound proofing for all our engine room components. I'll write up a blog post on these soon. Our engine tank hangs on a bracket above the engine and bilge. I elected not to add sound proofing to this area.

The sides are full with fuel tanks and other engine room room components. I wonder if it would be benefical to just add it to the back of the companionway slates.
