Crusader engine performance

Gary Scott	Looking to buy a 1987 Trojan 32 flybridge cruiser with Crusader 270 HP engines. Taking a test ride first before hiring a mechanic to test engines. What kind of Max RPM should I expect to see, engine temps, and oil pressure. Engines are raw water cooled. Thanks.	2002-11-18
bond-o	I'd be looking for; WOT RPMs.....44/4800 temps.....145* to 180* oil pres.... over 15psi at idle, less than 70psi at WOT Compression,+ vacuum tests will tell you alot...	2002-11-19
