Anyone know the ballpark price to change a timing chain for a 470 merc 190hp/ I/O ??<br /><br />Am I looking at 200.00? 500? 1000??<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Lou
Well without consulting a price book....I would guess less than $200 however....<br /><br />Depending on the clearance in front of the motor to fit a puller, the gaskets and the mysterious unknown inside you might be getting into more $$. Since you are going "inside" it may be a good time to also change the camshaft seals and bearings too.<br /><br />It may be more than a chain....the tensioner? Hope the gears are not chewed up either.<br /><br /> http://www.sterndrives.com/470information/470coolantleakrepair.html is a good link to replace the seals which are a "known" problem.<br /><br />People are always "parting out" 470's so check e-bay for some less exspensive parts.<br /><br />Bob
