"I purchased a boat with this
"I purchased a boat with this motor and the motor is throwing off a lot of smoke (very bad when you are downwind), but has good oil pressure and starts and runs well and doesn't consume much oil (suprizing). I suspect worn rings or a cracked ring.
Is there are a way to inspect the rings without dismantling the motor?
Also is a ring change a job that can be accomplished by a weekend mechanic? Any special tools required?"
