Hey, new to the forum and need a little advise. I am looking to purchase a boat with a "new" rebuilt power head. The boat is a 2003 ranger if that matters. The original powerhead blew because of 2 bad injectors. All injectors were sent off to be inspected and cleaned, 2 came back bad. The motor has 0 hours on the new head. What concerns would you have?
I have one mechanic telling me he wouldn't touch a motor that has been blown up because you have old and new components and would worry about the seals being bad.
I talked to another mechanic and he is saying that he would rather have a refurbished 2003 motor than one that has never been touched because something is bound to go wrong given its age.
I would have a leak down test and compression test done before purchasing.
I don't have a lot more information, but any guidance would be appreciated.
