Remanufacture experience

[dbolt6]

All, any help is appreciated.

2001 225 90 deg Loop, 3.0 Johnson with a failed rod bearing. Looking at getting it remaned.

Does anyone have experience with "Boats Parts Store" in OK?

No, using Blackbird due to all the bad posts!

Any other suggestions,,,would do it myself, if could find a good crank.


Thanks in advance

Re: Remanufacture experience

Ask them if they do the water mod to block, if they dont know what that is dont use them. Ask what type pistons used in repair and if crank is new or reman.

Re: Remanufacture experience

will ask about the water mod...but can u explain it to me, so i am a little bit knowledgeable to the answer.

as for the piston, they use forged Wiseco?
the Crank is either, my preference...$$ diff. reman is $1000 / new is $1700

thanks for the reply...

I am not a Wiseco fan and you can get a new crank for $800 with a 1 year warranty . The water mod is to increase cooling to cylinder sidewalls to help prevent piston ring pin migration. The existing water deflectors are removed and bigger deflectors and cooling passages are drilled...
