    1992 60hp Mercury top end rattle/heavy clicking??

    my bud has a 1992 60hp Mercury with an upper engine rattle. sounds to me like a possible wrist pin or maybe a cracked piston. we didn't notice the noise until after the water impeller was changed, but we didn't run it much before that either.

    hi all. I got a 1992 60 HP Mercury 3 cylinder in today with a power head rattle. not bad, but it's there. I'm wondering if by chance carbon buildup on the pistons could make this?
