Wes,
Try using a mechanical stethoscope to locate the noise.
I wonder if the reduction in prop size may be a reaction to a fault. Is the 42 in front of a stern leg? If so does the exhaust go thr..... |

Larry,
When it does start, does it take a few cranks or does it fire right away? Have you considered a weak lift pump? The engine will run with a weak pump but starting would be affected.

I don´t think you need special Volvo tools to time the engine/pump.
You need a metric dial indicator with extensions and holders, such as:
