    Need help with my 3.7l mcm 180

    ebasic sells GLM parts. the joking response is Good Luck Marine. most are chinese import parts. to properly rebuild the mercruser 470, you are looking at sleeving the block, line boring, head work, etc. get a complete estimate before you start. you may be surprised as to what it will cost you.
