Firstly Hi from Australia.
I have a 135hp Johnson that we have been rebuilding and some time ago purchased online 020 sierra pistons.
We were first told that 1973-1976 were the only years for a 135hp and the website we purchased the pistons from showed the part number for 1973-1976 so we thought we were safe. This was some time ago and since then a new computer and a CC hacking the required cancelling means we have no receipt or proof of purchase.
anyway upon reassembly I find out the pistons have a way different gudgeon pin height and subsequent research tells us that in fact there was a different 135hp for 1973 to the ones made in 1974-76. detailed serial numbers etc. are well worn off this engine.
So I have a rebored 020 1973 135hp with matching pistons that I either purchase new pistons for and rebore again to 030.
Or can I search for some 1974 conrods that will fit?
Help please
