Ayuh,..... I'd sooner think it's a Mercruy Outboard.....

Re: 2001 v6

2 strokes are outboards, so is this a Mercrury Outboard or a Mercruiser V6 which is a 4 stroke?

Re: 2001 v6

i dont think he knows what he is talking about, its a 2001 sugar sand tango jetboat with a merc v6 he said

Re: 2001 v6

The Sport Jet Mercs are 2 stroke outboards. You can look in this link for the manual http://1manual.com/Mercury manuals/Service_Manual_Index.html but you are going to need a lot more info than just a V6.

Strip it down to a bare block, remove the heads, remove the crankcase cover. That exposes the crankshaft with the con-rods. Mark the caps and rods, then remove the con-rod cap bolts. Remove the roller bearings from each rod and store them so they can go back in the original location, then push the pistons out though the top of the block... Easy peasy.....

Re: 2001 v6

you guys know if the motor can be resleeved?

The 2001 Sport Jet came in four flavors - The 175XR2, 200DFI, 210 Carb, 240 EFI. If you give us the HP or the serial number we can tell you if it is even worth fixing. The 200DFI's are not one of those motors that the average beginner starts off rebuilding. If that's what you have just get a rebuilt powerhead. The 175XR2, 210 and 240EFI's all can be resleeved. Runs about 1,000.00 a hole to have it done right. LA Sleeve is where I send mine.

As a side note; Yes you can search around for a good used sleeve and throw the block in the oven at 550 degrees then slide the old one out and put the new one in. You might get lucky and pull it on the first try. You also might get lucky and get the new one aligned right on the first shot.

If you're trying to do his at home your house will smell a lot like a two stroke motors been cooking in the oven.

Re: 2001 v6

serial number is oe397483... no i am going to have a pro do it, he said for me to bring in the sleeve and the piston...

Re: 2001 v6

It's the Sport Jet 210 carbed, model number S210J10YD.

Re: 2001 v6

Ouuuuch!!! some put it to ya ...dry too!

Cant be done as sleeves have to be cut-off and machined flush with block surface, all blocks are not cast the same so sleeve lengths vary. Also heating the block will not let you remove sleeve as it heats at the same rate as block. The proper way to remove a sleeve is to split it with a grinder, it takes me about 10 minutes to remove a 2.5 sleeve as it goes all the way to bottom of block a 2.4 sleeve takes about 5 minutes.

so you think that can be sleeved???

Yes but check the electrical and carbs real good on that cylinder and check all the bores and pistons as #3 shows so aluminum transfer on top of piston from the exhaust...

If you want to preserve the sleeve you heat the block and pull them. The steel and aluminum expand at different rates so it's pretty easy. Not sure why you waste the time cutting them but to each his own. I throw mine in the oven and go to work on somebody elses motor. When the buzzer goes off I put the ov-gluv on, pull the sleeve and then go work on somebody elses motor. I doubt I spend more than 5 minutes pulling a sleeve or 6 at a time for that matter. But you're right the 2.4 aluminum sleeve with the Mahle Nicasil or was that Chrome, doesn't matter, they have to be cut out.

Re: 2001 v6

lynnboy021 - That cylinder might look a lot worse than it is. Most of what you see is aluminum that can be washed out with muriatic acid. You can pull the intake manifold off, remove the bearing cap and pull the rod and piston out. Clean the cylinder up with muriatic acid first and then finish the job with a brush hone. My bet is that it will be near as good as new. Of course a new piston kit and a set of rings will be needed but thats a lot cheaper then a re-sleeve.

Don't forget that this piston is the result and not the problem. You still need to figure out what caused it.
