That'd be great and the bores looked real clean and smooth

B.I.L wants more info on what you mean by "Play" in the pistons. Do you mean at the Rod connections or at the cylinder walls?

The piston it self in cylinder. But its no beat up in there the cylinders are very smooth no scratches

Could also be that when I did it it was on down stroke at the bottom and didn't have enough support

I know my parents had motor looked at when the got it cause it was running. And the place that got it going changed head gasket and they never said anything.

Well I'm back went to look at boat and noticed that there's a 4-6" crack on windshield now I've gotta try and hunt one down

Find a similar windshield on a similar vintage boat on craigslist. May have to buy the whole boat for the windshield.

You can make your own if it's a bubble style windshield & you have the frame & existing 'glass' to use as a template:

Well i sold this boat 2 or 3 years ago and hopefully gonna pic it back up tomorrow. The people i sold it to didnt touch anything so its sitting the same way i sold it to them. Which brings up the first question. Its been in a barn this whole time and is covered in pigeon poop. I plan on using a pressure washer to get it off only problem is they never put the top cover on the motor (evinrude lark iv). Would it be safe for me to pressure wash the motor on low to get the poop off?

Welcome back !
Sorry i don't know if the pressure washer would hurt anything or not ...

 

[stretch8668]

Any idea if the poop stained the gel coat i wasnt able to pull it out of barn but it was covered in it. Ill be sure to have before and after pics. I gotta wire trailer back up and make some seats for boat. Gonna try to replicate the sun n fun seats. Plus other odds and ends i never finished up but its sitting same way that i sold it minus the poop.

 

[Woodonglass]

It probably DID stain it but...Warm sudsy water first, then some Acetone and a bit of wet sanding and you MIGHT get it out!!!

 

[stretch8668]

Ok thanks im gonna go to a car wash and use there pressure washer on boat as its hot water that gets sprayed out. I hope the stains arent to bad as she was a beauty when i sold her

Got boat back home and took 2 hours to scrub it. If zoom in on bow pick can see some lightning in places dont know if its staining or from scrubbing it.
