Pretty straight forward with lots of stuff on YouTube.
Yeah....
Nice spark plug. Your right, clean up the plug...re-gap it, re-install the head and drink some beer! Hahahaha!
Racerone, will walk you through it....I think he's part "Bushman".
I would just hone the cylinder, knurl the piston, change the rings, bolt it together and drive it like you...
I'm on my second etec...sold the first one at 800 and some change and it ran perfect.
When I inquired at e-nation about longevity, Alaskan fisherman we're getting 7000 hrs out of them before they needed anything major.
I think your good, trust me.

Well take out the obvious..... The planet, taking care of mother Earth.
But let's take that out of the equation, super reliable as long as you keep up with the alarms and shut it down when it tells you to. Vro stands for variable ratio oiling, so what does that mean? It means that at idle it's...

Many ways to skin a cat but I'm pretty sure you could do it anyway you wanted to do.... your good.
As to the other question, grease, heat, time, money, bushings, seals, scraping, digging, cussing, bleeding, stroking, yep Happy Times!
Colorful language is how I speak.... especially working on outboards but we don't know how young the Joey's are in here.
That being said, post a picture a little bit farther back, becauseI don't believe you've broken the exhaust at all. That is where the motor pivots to go right and left or...
Well problem solved and problem added. We've all been there. Can't wait to help or try to help with the new problem.
