    Pistons on Ford 302 / Mercruiser 188

    most likely a reman or a prior OMC motor from the pics, the boat is trashed. the moss growing on the deck means the deck was done as a deckover at least once and that has failed.

    . . . and I Thought Hi-tech Boat Engines Were Bad . . .

    my VW Jetta with the VR6 had the original clutch when I sold it with 240K of well-beaten auto-crossed miles. the daily is the second dual mass flywheel car I have owned. and I will be looking for an aftermarket flywheel and multi-disc clutch.
