if you wanted to replace just 1 piston do you still need to tear down the entire powerhead and if so, is there an easier way to remove the entire head before disassembly?
Complete teardown? Yes. I always pull the powerhead dressed and put it back dressed. Seems to be the easiest way for me. <br /><br />Yes, you can replace one piston but I'll bet when you measure the cylinders you will find they are out of spec and need boring anyway. Unless you have a 20+ year old motor with no hours on it.<br /><br />Good luck!
