1985 3.8L (225Hp) Galaxy with OMC.
Motor was running great at about 25 MPH then a load clunk and the engine stopped.
Thought it was the timing chain and gear, tore down to that and everything is good. I can turn the top of the motor but the bottom side is locked even with the plugs out. I know this is not good.... Is there anything else I can check before I pull the motor and have it rebuilt? I did pull the distrubitor all good there also.
If I pull it and rebuild it is there any thing special I need to know or will the rebuild be just like an auto rebuild?
I know my season is over for a while.
Thanks,
Dan
