berkeley packajet rebuild
« on: May 31, 2013, 12:35:05 AM »
hello gents!

so ive searched hi and lo...I cant find the info im looking for.  I have a 460 packajet.  my engine seems to run hot, pegs the gauge.  I haven't ran it since that day...so I haven't had a chance to run it on the hose...maybe see if pump wasn't providing enough water (??)  perhaps a bad T-stat...who knows.  what ive been looking for are parts for this type of cooling system. namely gaskets.  ive never taken one apart but I imagine there are some seals that may need replacing if I start taking stuff off to troubleshoot.  does any one have any experience with the Berkeley packajet?  or know where to source parts?   (even struck out on ebay). as usual, any suggestions are welcome. 
thanks for the help...

Check with Jim Brock at Cyclone Speed & Marine.  If they're still available he should be able to get them for you.

Try this thred from 2009.. http://www.socaljetboats.com/engine-mechanical-electrical/berkeley-packajet-460/

I had a berkeley Packajet 460  setup in Bahner until the recent rebuild! Og Valve covers with packajet decal are going to be the only thing left!
