Hello All!
I have a 1974 Johnson V5 135HP - One of the pistons has recently thrown a ring (3rd cylinder). I am debating on whether I should attempt repair. The motor is in great shape otherwise. I am concerned that once I open up the powerhead, it will be like opening a can of worms.
Has anyone attempted this?
Any advice? Is this type of repair listed in the haynes manual?
