My brother in law and I changed out my water pump yesterday, and also changed spark plugs. We took out the spark plug for cylinder #3 and it had small pieces of metal on it. We took the head off, and there was very little damage done to the cylinder walls, may just need honing. I think a bearing carrier or rod bearing is going out on me. We started tearing it down last night for the rebuild. So for the next month, it looks like I'll be working on my boat motor

Funny thing is, we checked compression, and it was normal....just goes to show, compression does not always tell the real story.
 
Yup, I bet I had the same situation. Mine had great compression, but blew pretty quick. You just never know with dang boat motors!!

Jim, I'm thinking of going to GVille on Tuesday. If you can swing it come with. You probably need to get there before the T anyway. We could meet here in Chatt.
 
JTF, I have a boat. We can get out on the Chick. if you'd like this weekend. I'd love to get on the water for the first time this year - I have 2 rods that are waiting for me as well!</p>

Let me know - But I bet you're gonna say no! Because, either you don't want to fish with me or you already have plans this weekend!
