    97 force 90 hp trim tilt opinion?

    So I finally was able to take some pictures. The on in it’s side is a two wire pump, which is what I had on my motor. The new transom assembly I purchased on eBay came with a 3 wire and it looks brand new. I want to use the new. I’m assuming the third wire is just a ground.

    1997 90 hp rebuild project

    I ended up ordering a .020 kit from WSM. I remember reading somewhere but can’t find it, that milling the head .065 and mill exhaust will help improve flow. Block is at machine shop and they are also chamfering the intake and exhaust ports. Anything else I should do to block?

    1997 90 hp rebuild project

    The main steering pivot shaft had froze. In order to replace it the power head needs to be removed. Crank looks fine but figured if the block is going to shop maybe have them look at it. No noticeable ridge at top of bore. Maybe catch a little with my nail.

The steering is very hard, but the tube and shaft are clean and greased. I noticed the vertical swivel pin is in bad shape. I heated to melt the grease also...
