I have the Powerhead off my 1998 75 Force and would like your thoughts on whether it is worth fitting a new set of rings whilst motor is off. The compression is 140 even with a weak starter and bent reeds. The motor has done 220 hours. The rest of the motor is in good condition. I don't have much experience with rebuilds. The guy who will hone the cylinders said he would look at the motor with the head removed and work out the condition of the bores. Am I likely to gain much from fitting new rings?
I'm tempted to do it for the experience.
Thanks
