Did a compression check today, took out one plug at a time...went by the manual. Just got this motor off of craigslist...
Cylinders 2,4,6 were around 95-96 lbs
Cylinders 1,3 were 80 lbs
Cylinder 5 is only 50 lbs.
Checked it twice.
The head gaskets and the entire motor looks clean/good/intact.
The guy I bought it from had the wrong plugs and wrong gap on the wrong plugs...
What are the possibles here? Should I have the whole thing rebuilt or what are my options? Anyone know prices for rebuilding engines? Is it better to go get a different motor? Should I scrap it? I don't have any boat experience at all...just a little common sense.
Thanks
