I would rebuild this engine if:
1. you have a sense that the boat has been well maintained, namely the
engine zinc has been routinely replaced. Yanmar added a small amount of
nickel (or was it chromium?) to the cast iron for their marine blocks, this

I had a season where my rings got stuck. Compression measured 155, 165,
425. The crankcase was so heavily pressurized that the dipstick blew out.
Ultimately I was able to "unstick" the rings by putting penetrating oil (PB

Don,

installed in 1986. After 8,793 hours it was simply worn out and not worth

Atomic 4, has this breather that before my restoration, would emit blow by

Hi
I continue to try and understand what is wrong with my engine without paying
more good money. And I have started looking for a new motor.
First the problem. The engine recently started to leak a fair amount of oil
and to start poorly. We spent a lot of time trying to find exactly where th
