Have a Mercruiser 3.0 around a 2004 model and there is alot of rust appearing on the Block.
Looks to be worse around the head gasket and may be the source ?
With good compression, could this be a built of salt water over time that has done this or could a leak in the head gasket trickly salt water down the block ?
Any thoughts on this ? Any one else seen similar ?not to keen on replacing the head gasket but might be the fix >
Paint has peeled off.
Compression and performance of engine fine at the moment.
