Hi Folks,
I just registered for this forum and have a few questions concerning the topic of this post. I bought this motor new 21 years ago and have performed all of the maintenance on it. I can't guess the hours on it. The hour meter quit at 1500. It's simply worn out. The latest compression check revealed 127,118 on the port side and 20,110 on the stbd side. I pulled the stbd head and there is significant scoring on the low cylinder and some scoring on the other stbd cylinder. I haven?t opened the other side yet but expect to find minor scoring in both of those cylinders too. I'd like to take it to a good machine shop to do the boring and honing and tell me what size pistons and rings I need. My questions:
1. Does anyone know a reputable machine shop in the Mt. Pleasant (Charleston) SC area that I can have do the work on the block and tell me what I need in the way of pistons and rings?
2. Where is the best place to order/purchase the parts for the rebuild?
3. I need torque specs, etc for the rebuild. I don't need instructions on taking it apart or putting it back together. Are specs available on the internet?
Thanks in advance.
