Hey guys,
I had someone give me a 2.4L block as a spare (I currently have a 200HP, that seems completely healthy, but it never hurt to have a back up). Everything looks to be there, was told it has low compression in all cylinders, something like 80-90PSI.....
Would this be worth tearing into, and rebuilding to have sitting around if mine ever lets go, or even rebuilding to sell it? I have literally nothing in it at the moment....
I've seen the rebuild kits online for around 1249.00, (ebay, with WSM pistons). Is there anything out of the ordinary on these, or is it just the typical outboard rebuild?
Torque specs would be great if anyone had a link to something like that.... I don't have a manual.... and I know I need to get one, but it's just one of those things I haven't scooped up yet.
I know these are strong running motors, just by the one I have hanging on my boat..... but I've also heard the horror stories about having to bore/sleeve or bore/rechrome a cylinder from some of you guys on here. I know at some point it no longer becomes cost efficient to sink money into an older engine, but I'm kind of hooked on the roar of a two stroke screaming at WOT.
As always, I appreciate the comments/help good or bad.
