need some advise, i got a 1984 merc 200 horse did a compression test and found that there was 0 compression in 2 cylinders side by side. thought it could be bad head gasket but under further inspection found that the chrome coating on the cylinder walls is peeling off. the rest of the cylinder walls and pistons look in good shape.a mechanic said that i could sleeve the cylinders and use the same pistons and replace the rings. any advise you could give me will be greatly appreciated thanks
