So I have a 2010 mercury 9.9 4-stroke that I believe has spun a crank bearing. Not sure why, I got the motor cheap and was expecting to have to rebuild the fuel system. Turns out it needs more than that. Aside from that the motor is pretty clean and is intact, doesn't seem to have been previously messed with. Im pretty mechanically inclined, I've built motors before just never a boat motor. Usually I can find some sort of reference material via youtube or forums where I guide myself through it, however I cannot find a single thing about rebuilding an engine like this. I also cannot seem to find the crank bearings anywhere, every where I look they seem to be discontinued. Is there a reason for this? Is it just not worth doing it? The engine really is in good shape besides the crank bearing and in my area a healthy motor like this goes for about $1k-1.4k, I have a good bit less than half that into it so I have a tough time seeing how it couldn't be worth rebuilding. Does anyone have any input or experience with this?
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
