" That is the question ..
My poor old 79 model 6cyl has burnt a piston dead (no4)
Every thing else seems to be in reasonable shape though ..
From my inspection and observations it will need to have 2 new cylinder sleves inserted..
2 new complete piston sets as well ..
From your experience is it ok to do a partial rebuild .. " carefully "
" i cant afford a total rebuild this season"
but i will do it next yr .. but until then i want to do a cheap engine touchup you might say..
================
im currios to know , if i very careingly replace just the dead parts , will it hang together for one more season ..?

Im not experianced with well warn outboards ..
i do understand that its not the prefered thing or way to go but ... money is tight eyy
Thanks guys again foryu advice..
Steve from Aus.. "
