This is a 200hp engine. Took it to a shop and they gave me the bad news. #5 piston they said is in pieces yikes. It also blew a hole in the cylinder wall. They said also #6 piston only had 30lbs of pressure. The rest were fine. He suspected the problem was a high pressure fuel pump because of how the piston was burned. I asked if he thought it could have been a bad O2 sensor and he didn't think so. But with the engine not being able to run right now well enough for them to know for sure if the high pressure fuel pump was bad what can I do to find out what caused this problem? They suggested a new power head or a new engine.
If I buy a rebuilt one how much typically does it cost to install it? He said that I can't use my old injectors and fuel pump? Why is that? Can someone who is not a Yamaha mechanic install these things by himself or is that foolish to think? What all is involved in installing a powerhead? What else is needed?
Without knowing what caused the first problem is it even advisable to get another one?
Thanks for any help.
