i have a freind of mine in Youngsville NC that was one of the best rebuilding those things, I don't know if he would mess with one now. It does take a special set of ring compresors. BTW, if it was running rough, odds are you have more than one cylinder down, I've seen those things with 2 dead holes and two barely above 75 psi idle all day long. You might want to think about repower, they are geiting a bit old.

sorry to hear about the misfortune, but this would be a great time to re power and welcome your self to the world of loop charging.

I wouldn't both with a rebuild way to expensive for that engine. BUT i suspect you can find a good powerhead for next to nothing if you keep your eye open. Lots of Merc inline six still available - most have rotten electrical harnesses that do them in. You should look into how far back a powerhead swap is possible with your mid before throwing in the towel.
