Need a second opinion.
My 1987 Yamaha 90's overheat alarm went off.
I checked the obvious and found nothing serious. The impeller was fine, the thermostat was old but seemed OK. On reaching my technical limit I took it to a mechanic. His diagnosis:
"there was a corrosion pinhole in the head that was allowing water into the head. There is a second internal anode inside the engine block that had never been changed and this allowed for the corrosion problem.
The necessary parts:
Head
Thermo gasket
bolts
thermostat
water jacket gasket
head gasket
spark plugs
Is this sound correct? A second anode in the head? Sound fishy?
The estimate for parts is almost $400. Labor aprox. $300.
I just need a second opinon. Are these the correct parts and the prices for parts/labor in the general ballpark?
Thanks
