Theres a pretty big chance your crank case vent is clogged and thus causing pressure to build up in the crank case/oil pan.

I got curious about that Coast Guard vessel so I asked my friend Mr Google. It appears it is from Trinidad and Tobago.

Sounds like the rings are worn or cylinder wall sleeve's are scared. Either way not going to be cheap. You probably already know this but you could send Cpt Rick Moore a message and he could tell you anything and everything about Grenada that might save you time and money. Good luck. on the motor.

Living the dream through Tula’s Endless Summer!I could smell the flowers.The comment about Disneyland gives a mindset for the video.Good luck on the repairs!God bless!

That oil issue sounds like "blow by" which is exactly what you described. But do take a look around for any kind of vents that may be plugged or pinched hoses. I had a 210 Cummins that I took off the road because half of age but mostly because it would spew oil out and cause gaskets to fail. It wasn't until i took some parts off for another truck and found a pinched hose that caused the issue all along.

All engine have some form off cylinder blow by, but usually only a small amount. To stop pressure from building up there is a pressure release valve ( a PVC ), that vents into the air intake to ensure the vapours don’t contaminate the environment. That’s a simple and cheap check before looking for other more expensive solutions. Great video as always guys. I thoroughly enjoy you work.

So cool. We sent you a shot of us wearing our Tulas shirt right near that park/beach with the almond tree. Enjoying episodes when we get service on our drive to Ushuaia!

Love your channel and looking forward to seeing more of Grenada! Thank you very much

You have no tensioning pulleys for the belt on the autopilot. They help by tightening the slack part of the belt, and when the direction changes, they then shift to tighten the other side. It is a simple system to rig up--simple rollers on a sliding plate..

Thanks Mike! Hopefully we can get our hands on some materials in Grenada to rig something up

Capt. Rick Moore is Probably the best Grenada Resource on YT

Feel your pain on things breaking. Last weekend I had to repair our washing machine, my son’s xbox controller, and a speed sensor on my wife’s suburban! Always something!!! Keep pushing ahead...

Check all of the breathers are clean and clear on the engine first ,if they are get it compression tested .

You guys are why we are gonna start sailing full time. Thanks for the inspiration.

So many simple engineering issues could be so avoidable, like with the strap on the seat. Glad you guys made it in on the one engine and you are able to explore! Cheers from Arizona!

Auto pilot belt looked loose, slipping caused it to get warm, and for the pvc, and compression test guys, an easy way to tell if a cylinder is down is if it cranks unevenly befor starting, found you guys while searching about an issue on my velvet drive on my 24', remedied that, now been waiting 2 summers for my velvet/ V drive to get repaired on my 32' aint life great, enjoy your videos, facebook and instagram immensely! Sail on!

Can't wait for the next one, my girls are loving your shirts.

Check crankcase vent possible plugged sometimes a flame trap in the line might be stopped up

Thank you Granada main great or grand which that place is you know glad you had a safe trip hope you get everything fixed and continue your journey

We are going to go to Grenada next October, now I am even more excited, it looks so breathtaking!!

It is awesome, Laura! We’ll be sad to leave. Where are you staying?!

Take the oil filler cap off to ventilate engine and see if it will run that way. If it does then maybe it is something easy like pcv or clogged vent tube as others have said. Good Luck! Grenada looks awesome!!

It looks like Grenada was worth the trouble you went through to get there. I had to laugh when Billy not only says "Because I know that I'm a slob" but he says it with a big smile. 😄 Thank you for taking us on your journey with you.

There were two of those “cool boats” with the plumb bow close to my slip in Lauderdale and they were megayacht toy haulers! Yachts hired them to follow them with the jetskies, tenders, subs, and all the other toys a self respecting cruiser would never leave home without but don’t want messing up their boat’s beautifull lines.

Looking at your Autopilot. Bandsaw tires and adjustable belts may be a possible solution. Look on Loews harbor freight, or amazon and you can find them. Adjustable belts allow you to take links out. These belts are supposed to be resistant to water, salt and harsh conditions. Good luck with engine.

Thanks Barry!! We’ll have to try that! Keep the tips coming 🤗

You are correct. Engine blow by - rings. Engine shot. Good luck!

When a diesel has oil blow by: "Diesels do not produce sufficient vacuum for a PCV system. They use only a crankcase breather which is vented to the filtered side of the intake ducting. The engine can "breathe" both in and out via the breather cap. The round black thing on the TDI valve cover is a breather cap." This is cleanable. If not your problem it is still handy to know yet another thing that can go wrong with marine engines.

You maybe right! And definitely worth checking, I’m sorta thinking more a broken piston, Either way you are correct a huge amount of crankcase pressure, would love to hear it running! Hhhmm. I definitely don’t think it’s the rings, why all of a sudden? That’s why i think piston.. i guess we will see?

If you can check the compression and do a leak down test that would diagnose if it's a ring problem. I'm leaning more toward too much crankcase pressure from some other reason than ring blow-by. Any smoke from exhaust? Glad you guys got there safe. Now for something completely different..... Have you guys ever been to Isla Mujeres, MX? My wife and I go twice a year. Such a lovely little island.

You guys should check out the Amazon Rain Forest and anchor your boat in an area where you get the sounds of the jungle. That would be so cool!

Your crankcase ventilation tube might be blocked if you have one. Usually there is a little soft filter on the end or pcv valve though they are more often on gas engines.....could be rings too..exhaust restriction causing blowby...try taking the oil filler cap off and running the engine....of course you've probably already fixed it.

Yu asked a number a days ago, why I watch your UTube videos. I started watching just out of curiosity but as I watched more and more I was very impressed with how hard you both work to get the boat back to beautiful. And your dives are very interesting.

High crankcase pressure will cause your oil dipstick to push out and lift the oil in oil pan. Clean the crankcase breath filter.

You guys prolly have the engine sorted by now, but perhaps your crankcase breather/vent is clogged. If clogged pressure can't escape by the normal route so will often release up the dipstick hole instead. Just a thought. :) So cool seeing Grenada! Wow, the landscape is gorgeous. Now you have me wanting to go just so I can smell the tropical flowers. We talk a lot about making it all the way down there someday. Looking forward to seeing more of your Grenada adventures.

We spent a week in Grenada in 2018. Loved it. Might be our homebase someday. Have you been to the chocolate plantation yet?

Navy white and orange is the Netherlands. They have ships in the Caribbean because Aruba and other islands are part of the Netherlands. Like someone else said below, Trinidad and Tobago have black white and red and they have coast guard vessels including one numbered 25.

I had a giggle to myself when I thought to myself, “Billy must be wearing the new tropical flower flavoured lip balm/sunscreen”!

Sierra & Billy: taking my "huge fan" hat off and putting my "father & grandfather" hat on, and for you to glean sincerity & concern from me, I spend a lot of time reading newspapers. Stories about climate change caused by global warming and the effect warming will have upon rising sea levels , how "lax regulation, austerity, and climate change threaten to be Puerto Rico's next big crisis in water", and hearing about your upcoming projects and seeing your recent boat tour episode, it is my best recommendation to place the installation of a water maker as a very high priority. It is entirely up to you, but potable water is a necessity. Locked water outlets onshore is a real bummer.

If you will take a dry bar of soap and rub it on the auto pilot belt really well, it will grip a lot better. It's not a fix but it will work for a day or so at a time. At least it will be a short term fix.

Crankcase vent is probably clogged. No other reason for the crankcase to build pressure.

Hi billy , You probably figured it out , but Yanmar’s are famous for clogging up the exhaust elbows. This will cause a lot of back pressure Symptoms are Loss of power and crank case pressure.
