    Winterization of my Commodore 272

    Winterization

    1990 Mercruiser 4.3 Same As???

    If you have to dive into the internals on the 4.3, you don't just replace a single piston The block needs to be bored and honed and you replace all the pistons With that stated, look for a complete low mileage 4.3 from a truck. Strip the motor down to a short block and heads. Knock out the...
