I’ve found that having someone rebuild an engine, do machining work, is fraught with issues. I’ve had several motorcycles worked on only to regret it. Personally i probably would have used some gasket goop instead of having them machine the cam cover. Of course that’s all in hindsight. Oil leaks just require more oil. I would not trust them to do anymore work. And I would try to get good used parts instead of having more machine work done. It’s fairly amateur ish to not know more machining work needed to be done than just machining the gasket surface when there’s bearings involved. If parts can’t be found a used engine would be my preference. To trust them to tear that engine down and clean and…..and then there’s a chance more engine damage has been done to other bearings with all of the aluminum shavings. I’d request to see the oil when it’s drained and have the oil filter cut apart. That will tell you how much material got into the motor. Request they show you the oil and cut apart the filter, when they drain the oil. I’m sorry you guys are dealing with this.

For the safety of you and your family I strongly suggest installing a new engine. Reliability is critical for the type of sailing you plan to do and I strongly believe this engine cannot be made reliable with the resources available to you in your location. I know the cost is a major consideration for you but the risk to your family is very, very high with the current engine, even with a rebuild. Even if it means more time without being out on the water you will be glad you installed a new engine when you look back a year from now.

At least you caught it early. I'm not a big fan of lots of insulation. I want to hear my engine at least a little. The engine will always tell you if something isn't right. Glad you got to safe port. Try not to let it get you down too much. In my opinion, some mechanical knowledge can be helpful, but that is just me. Personally I don't like to trust mechanics, but sometimes you don't have a choice. Enjoy your christmas

I have to say, I am not surprised that this has happened. I have had a bad feeling about this mechanic and engine for a while now. By this happening now instead of later out in the middle of the ocean somewhere, makes me think you have missed a bullet. You need to get a new engine fitted and by a reputable company.
