Re: 92 FORCE

What model motor do you have? hp?<br /><br />I would start by pulling the head and examining the head gasket, head, pistons, and rings, looking for damage.<br /><br />Could it just be a head gasket? Maybe, probably not, you will only know if you look.<br /><br />If motor requires a total rebuild, it is not worth the time or money.<br /><br />Better to put the money toward a decent late model used motor.

Re: 92 FORCE

The cost of a total rebuild would be in the 1400 to $2000 range.<br />Some probably better to part it out on ebay and look for a new or late model used motor.<br /><br />But check the head/gasket/pistons before deciding what to do.<br />Might only be a $100-$200 repair.

Re: 92 FORCE

Rcollins, it could be a blown head gasket, so do pull the head and inspect it.<br />Low compression will cause the symptoms you describe with poor idle, sooth running, and low HP. <br /><br />Did the motor overheat?

I AM TEARING IT DOWN,BUT I CAN'T TELL IF ITHAS 5 OR 6 BOLTS HOLDING THE POWERHEAD TO THE LEG.ANYWAY I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN I FIND OUT.IF ANYONE KNOWS PLEASE TELL ME.THANKS RCOLLINS

Re: 92 FORCE

Can't you just remove the head without removing the entire powerhead?<br />Maybe not. Haven't looked at one of those in years.

Re: 92 FORCE

I finally got the head off,but I ruined it ,I found a used one.Its an 89 not a 92 .Anyway I need to know if I can use stainless steel bolts for the head instead of the regular ones.
