SECTION 1 ILMOR MV8 OWNER'S MANUAL

NOTICE: Always properly clean the engine and transmission if exposed
to salt water. Exposure to salt water causes corrosion, leading to
significant damage to metal, including stainless steel. If evidence
of corrosion shows on the engine, carefully clean the engine and
transmission with fresh water and a mild soap solution after use in
salt water. A protective marine oil may be applied to exposed metal to
halt the acceleration of corrosion. Failure to properly clean boat or pay
attention to corrosion matters will void the warranty.
NOTICE: Air in the system could cause the raw water impeller to fail,
causing severe engine problems. If air in the system is persistent, visit
your local Ilmor service center.
NOTICE: If the serpentine belt comes off or wears through, catastrophic
engine failure may occur. Do not operate the engine without a properly
installed serpentine belt. Any resulting damage will not be covered by
the warranty.
NOTICE: Make sure the seacock is back in the ON position. If this
operation is skipped, the engine will overheat, failing the raw water
pump impeller and causing severe engine problems. Make sure that
the cap/lid has been installed correctly and has not pinched the sealing
o-ring. This will cause air to be introduced into the system and could
cause the raw water impeller to fail, causing severe engine problems.
NOTICE: Any exposure to brackish or salt water requires a closed
cooling system. Operating your open cooled engine in brackish or salt
water can and will void your warranty.
NOTICE: If power steering fluid is not visible, contact your Ilmor service
center immediately. Severe engine damage could occur.
