Does anyone know if cylinder liners/sleeves are available for this block?
It has already been bored out to 3.030" and it has recently fried a piston due to water getting into cyl.2.
After a search on wiseco I believe the max oversize I can get is 3.040" is this in fact the largest i can go?
My machine shop has said that the cylinder is slightly out of round and would need bored out to more than 3.040 which basically means my block is scrap unless I can get sleeves for it.
Its an old outboard, but too much money has been spent on it to simply scrap it or sell it for parts. Everything else on this outboard has been overhauled or replaced so I want to try everything possible to get it back to life.
My questions are -
Are sleeves available for this outboard?
is 3.040 the max size it can be bored out to?
Does anyone know where I can look for a replacement crankcase/block assy? (i already try ebay every day?
Maybe an important note - I live in the U.K.
Any advise would be really appreciated.
