I have a 2.4 litre 200 HP merc and the trim unit is leaking around the ram on top. Is this a hard fix once i get the cylinder off? or is it relativly easy?

I have been told that the 1988 1.6 liter 115 hp omc is the same motor as the 140. Is this true? They both have the same specs as far as bore and stroke. They both have the bubble back exhaust. Other than the carbs what is the difference and would it be worth it to upgrade my 115 to a 140?
Pulled the heads on my 115 to replace the water diverters and gaskets.I found 1 head with alot of pitting on the bottom cylinder. It was obviously rebuilt at one time and the head was not replaced. Is it safe to run a pitted head or should i replace it.

I TESTED MY STATOR. I AM SHOWING AN OUTPUT OF APPROX 20-3O VOLTS MAX OUTPUT WHILE SPINNING OVER. IS IT POSSIBLE FOR STATORS TO GO BAD AND PUT OUT THIS VOLTAGE? BOOK SAYS SHOULD BE AROUND 200 VOLTS BETWEEN THE GREEN/WHITE AND WHITE/GREEN WIRES.
