vintage mercury outboard

[buzzm19]

Hopefully some old timers are still around, has anyone herd of re-sleeving the old keiflier vintage outboards like 1971- 1979 years l6's where the block is one piece. I have one with a scored sleeve and two machine shops said they can't do them. The sleeves are available to buy. Thanks Buz

very few machine shops do blind bore machining and honing. google blind bore cylinder boring

I would do all 6 with new pistons.

If it needs a sleeve its junk.......to many used blocks out there cheap.

Cheaper to find a used powerhead in good condition than to resleave.
