The it is a 4 1/4 stroke. I measured

Hi. Sorry it took so long to get back. I took the water pumps off. The water did indeed drain. I’d like to stare something here before getting into that. I, in my embarrassment, had already given Eric the money for the motor and hadn’t gotten it. Being humiliated for my stupidity of prepaying...

pan is coming off this week

Thanks again.. and you are right. At least I have the internals. He’s a piece of **** for not reaching out. Like I said earlier, I don’t expect any money back. How about helping me with a bare block ffs?

I appreciate the honesty. And I agree it has to be torn apart. So far the only thing I know for a fact is that it has the big pistons in it.

Here is the cylinder with the issue. No visible crack but it had water in it and is all washed including valves

Thanks everyone. I’m thinking of selling it as is and building a nice merc motor.. It’s too bad that we have people like that in our hobby who take advantage of people. I’m not a rich guy who has a spare 9 grand lying around. Carla will get that ********** some day. In the meantime if anyone...
