I’m looking at a project motor and found a 2008 Suzuki 115 four stroke that runs but has lots of water in the oil. Two of the pistons has ruffly 180 psi but the other two barely break 80 psi. The asking price is 2000. Is this motor worth spending time and money or should I look for something else?

Id pass on that all day long. If the head gasket blew or the head cracked which Im sure it did you stand the chance that the rings on the 2 bad cylinders might be shot. For 2k get you a running motor that doesnt need work.

Thanks for the advice.
My thought was to make this a winter project and rebuild the powerhead. I realize that the motor will need in the least rings.
