I took my boat in today and got it checked out. Everything is fine with the timing, carb, basically everything -- BUT -- Its only running on 2 cylinders! There was basically no compression on two of the cylinders. Using the motor oil in the cyl trick, we determined the rings to be OK, so we're going to change the head gasket out. First things first, we'll get the head off and inspect for damage.
Where is the cheapest place to get a top end gasket set for a 1987 3.0 Merc? NAPA maybe? If not, where would be the best place? Does anyone have any part numbers for kits so I can search the net and compare?
If it ran likes this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3EqwR-Bods) on two cylinders, I wonder what it'll be like on all four!!
