Howdy Folks,
I picked up a 2.5 that has some issues.
I found it has a blown head gasket.
It has a small amount of rust tracing in that cylinder that will be easily honed out. Also compression is down to 110 on the other 5 cylinders (at 10 degrees F). Cylinder 1 had 65, which is why I pulled the head
So I'm going to do a re-ring (as long as everything measures out OK) so I know this motor will be solid for a good long time.
Obviously it will get a water pump in this process.
Since I have NO idea the history on this motor, I want to do the whole housing, upper and lower. So... I hopped onto MarineEngine dot Com and there are 3 options.
What is the difference between them?
There is 2 listings without base as well, so that adds to the confusion.
Motor Serial number has a big spot over the last 2 digits, but it starts 0G2167??
Thanks!
