Sorry to hear about you troubles. Try Ron's Marine (Johnson/Evinrude). I get all my work done there.
Quickest way there: Out of Suffolk 58 to 264 Exit Victory Blvd, turn left At third light, Airline Blvd turn right Continue on Airline until you get to Mosberth Resturant right hand side of street. Turn right on Rodman Ave. Go through the second or third stop light. (If it's green) :-) He is on the right hand side of the street, blue building Ron's Marine & Equipment Inc 2406 Rodman Ave, Portsmouth, VA (757) 397-3451

Thanks for the suggestion, thats who I was going to call, looks like a good shop.
Well I just finished the compression test....not so good. Looking from the stern to the bow all the left cylinders were at 100-105, on the right the top two were 100-105 and the bottom right was 0. Was getting absolutely no compression or resistance with the plug in. The motor turned as if all the plugs were out when I still had that bottom right cylinder hooked up. I then checked to see if I was even getting the piston to compress, and it is so it looks like the rings are shot or the cylinder is fried. Anything else I should check before dropping her off at the shop? Can I resleeve the cylinder or is that asking for more trouble down the line? -Svence

it may be lucky enough to be honed out and use a new piston, rings and bearings on that hole. but at a marina they won't usually fix one hole usually they want to do a $2500 to $3000 rebuild. Um i would remove the oil injection now.

The thing that pisses me off is that the oil injection didn't fail...it was me. I knew it needed oil but just figured I would wait for the damn low oil light to come on. What's it gonna set me back to rebuild that one cylinder? Going to call Ron in Portsmouth today or tomorrow and see what he says.

in a shop my guess is least $950 and most likely will cost $2500 to $3000. The OMC owners manuals all say to check the oil before you leave the dock and everytime you fill with gas.

You might try Airodine it's located at the airfield at Bowers Hill. They do machine work (and on marine products) They won't care if you fix 1 or all cylinders. BUT you want to check (visually and mic) all cylinders and look closely at the pistons/rings/wristpins/crank to make sure you don't have other problems due to low oil. You probably already know but I just had to mention it.
