MJ's Blown Piston

Hi MJ,

It has been a long time since I last posted but I feel that you need some encouragement with this. As you will remeber I blew my 175 Merc a couple of seasons ago and was really bummed out. But, all has turned out ok.

Get the manufactures manual and a lot of plastic baggies for parts, pull the power head and take it down the basement. Tear that sucker down to the block. It's a 2 cycle- hardly any parts at all! Get it to a machine shop and get an estimate- might not be too bad!

I did it with my engine. No experience necessary. Did mine in just a few nights.

Go for it! What do you have to lose?
