I have a chance to get a 90 nissan fairly cheap. Problem is it has a bad piston (holed from incorrect sparkplug). Looking around I find few parts sources for nissan motors. Is this worth trying to find parts for and rebuild? Would love to replace the current 70 I have with a 90 but not if it's going to be more headache and cost to rebuild than it's worth.... Any clue (ballpark) on cost to rebuild the powerhead? Any input appreciated.

If you don't have a local Nissan-Tohatsu dealer who will help you, it could be a bear. To the best of my knowledge parts are all dealer only.I have seen mention somewhere of a shop that was selling rebuilt cranks.Check out maxrules.com website to order parts, manuals etc.

Aftermarket pistons are readily available as well as gasket kits. Less than 100.00 each for pistons with rings, pins and clips. Gasket set should be less than 150.00.<br /><br />Good luck!
