General Discussion

Looking at you guys that have rebuilt your engines for some advice. I will be installing my rebuilt engines soon and have been told that after my initial alignment on the hard I’ll have to do another alignment after some running time under load in water.

So questions are;

Is it true that an additional alignment will be needed? I really wouldn’t want to do it a third time so if so, after how many hours under load could I expect everything to settle into its final location and do the second alignment? Would flexible couplings absorb enough that a second alignment wouldn’t be needed?

Thank you in advance for your support
