Default Re: OMC V-8 Outboards...

i had a 1986 140 done that way bigger bore doesn't make them have more HP like that just makes them later model style motors, but when we shaved the 1986 heads down 1/4 inch they compression went from 135 ea to 190 each then it ran extremely strong but the starter can't turn them over so i put stock 1990 heads on it back to factory.

just remember

compression / fire / fuel

that is all a 2 stroke needs

make them run that is all makes a 2 stroke stronger so raise all them and you will raise the HP
