    Attempting a motor rebuild

    Thanks Racerone, will do. Still I would like to be sure I can source these parts. Pretty sure I can, but still looking.

    Attempting a motor rebuild

    Btw, I used to live in Atlanta and visit there occasionally. I'm not opposed to driving for a good machine shop. Upstate SC as well, if you know of any to recommend.

    Attempting a motor rebuild

    I'm working up a list of parts and supplies and sourcing them. This is what I have so far. Any suggestions of what else I need and/ or where to find them would be much appreciated. Wiseco 3151P1 wrist pin bearing set x4 FG1019 GASKET SET or.. Same 27-809754A 1 - Gasket Set OEM bearings...

    Attempting a motor rebuild

    I haven't found one yet or started looking. I have a friend that knows of a machine shop, but I need to get their name. He used to rebuild motors, but not outboards. Why is it important that they have outboard experience? But yes, that is a concern I already had, I'm glad you brought it up...

    Cool glad to hear it's not overly complicated.

    Attempting a motor rebuild

    Actually, I'm really looking forward to it. And learning how. I have several of these motors and one with a cracked block that I've disassembled and reassembled to gain familiarity. Honestly, it's surprisingly simple. But I don't want to get cocky either, lol...

    Attempting a motor rebuild

    I'm not sure I can pull that off without dropping roller bearings all over! But I think it's leaking a bit at the crankcase halves too, so might be time for a full go through... And really, I'm kinda eager to do a full restore on this motor.

    Attempting a motor rebuild

    I don't think this motor has ever been apart, judging by paint on gasket edges and bolts. I have a friend online that thought the piston wasn't a true high ring piston. Hard to say for sure. I'll know more when I get it out. I'll post pics...

    Attempting a motor rebuild

    l'll be glad to post pictures or videos. I need to figure out how to do that in this forum first. I already have quite a few pics and vids and I'm sure to have more!

    Thanks Jerry, Yeah, I plan to rebore/hone anyway. Yes, Weisco is also what I've heard is best.

    Pretty sure this motor hasn't been rebored, but we'll see! Thanks!

    Attempting a motor rebuild

    Well I just removed the head yesterday. I'll get the motor off the boat , disassemble and send updates of progress! Might be a couple of months as I research more and get all the replacement parts together. Thanks all!

    Oh Chrysler parts are available if you know where to look.

    Is re sleeve better than rebore/ hone?

    Attempting a motor rebuild

    Thanks, yeah I figured it would need to rebore/hone. There is some light scuffing, but no obvious gouges that I can see. And almost 50 years of use, so it could well be a little out of round. I'd like it to be tight and like new when complete. Need to find a reputable machine shop.

    Attempting a motor rebuild

    My ol '77 Chrysler 135 has dropped compression down to 125 from 150 psi in the bottom cylinder. I took the head off and the gasket seems fine, but the piston has quite a bit more play when I rock it side to side. Looking from the transfer port, the top ring seems very loose and I can see the...

    Re- torque head bolts?

    I'm not a very experienced mechanic, but I'd guess that your gasket was still compressing.

    Re- torque head bolts?

    Yeah, re-torquing the head bolts as routine maintenance is certainly open to debate. I've been chatting with some very experienced Chrysler guys that are getting a good laugh out of this advice.

    Re- torque head bolts?

    I was recently advised to re torque the head bolts on my 77 135 hp Chrysler outboard twice a year. My concern is whether they are torque to yield bolts or normal bolts? I'll probably leave well enough alone, but still curious if this is standard preventive maintenance on these motors.
