88ProV Rebuild Kit

[jachunter]

The motor previously posted about is now at the machine shop.<br /><br />Where is the best price and can I get a rebuild kit? Or do I have to order everything seperate?<br /><br />I have priced the pistons through many sites on google around 80$ and the yamaha dealer says 200 per piston!?! Whats up with that?<br /><br />Thanks again guys.

no kits avalible<br /> gotta order everything seperate<br /> be careful ordering pistons, some brands include circlips,pins and rings other brands just supply a piston. <br /> always replace the bottom main bearing and use new rodbolts. I reccomend new wristpins and bearings the rod bearings and mains may be reused if kept in order and returned to the same spot if they are not damaged.

Re: 88ProV Rebuild Kit

We find it most convenient to use a marine machine shop that can supply the parts as well. Shops like Mar-Fab, Tribble Machine, Flagship, etc can not only do the work but can send the block back with all the necessary parts. Including the water pump and carb kits (non-injected motors). On injected motors, Flagship can clean and flow the injectors as well. Most of these places have rebuild programs where you send in a dressed powerhead and it comes back rebuilt and dressed ready to bolt on.<br /><br />The biggest thing is to find out what caused the problem and correct it. Replacing a damaged piston is taking care of the effect, not the cause.
