N II Deep Posted May 31, 2011 Author Posted May 31, 2011 jon i might have a extra stand i'll check tomorrow if i do i can drop it off on my way up to kentwood in the late am early afternoonwe ended up spending an extra day in Detroit for my son's soccer games.so I have not had a chance to find a stand.
luremaker Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 jonAny idea on how many hrs are on this motor? And did it run well before this happened?If the motor ran strong last season I would start with the oil pan and pull the rod and main cap ,first mark each one in order 1-? and only on one side ,the mains and rod cap have to go on the same way they came off.You may be able to just have a spun bearing and get by with crank work.If you are going to have it rebuilt ,you can email me if you like I have a good friend that builds pro motors for all apps and is well known around the holland zeeland area.He has beat any price around on rebuilds from start to finish or if you want to put it together he does that too.luremaker

Jon pulled the heads to find a blown head gasket, witch allowed water in. Witch caused hydro lock/ bent rod and piston.
N II Deep Posted June 3, 2011 Author Posted June 3, 2011 get bent. Motor is moving. Now. Just repair and fish or tear all the way down and do complete rebuild????
Indybleck Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 You're that far might as well finish the job. Probably won't ever have to do it again.
fishsniffer Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 You're that far might as well finish the job. Probably won't ever have to do it again.agree..you can fish with ken or ryan or me the rest of the year:thumb:
luremaker Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 I would rebuild it and have a fresh one for years to comeluremaker
sherman51 Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 you have the motor out, half tore down. i think i would either get a rebuilt long block or just rebuild that one. another long block would get you back on the water. or you might even want to check michigan motorz for a new long block. he has awesome prices. just my thoughts. get er fixed. good luck.sherman

Also he's a one man deal so if he has other stuff going on it might take a while.
