Crack in cylinder wall, need insight....

[bjly92]

The Sleeves also look cracked, so to me, the Block would only be useful as an Anchor. I think it was pretty tacky of the Machinist to say a cracked Cylinder is fine, just to get money out of you.

You will be better off getting another complete used Outboard of the same Model, you would then have a Cache of Parts in reserve

That's honestly what I'm looking for, I just can't find one near me. I found a few good fits but I'd have to buy the whole boat. I'm willing to drive really far our and spend the night in a hotel if I can find one within 1000km of me.

Your location?

Can you elaborate on why it would need a rebore? The sleeve inside is not aluminum and I'd just be welding the aluminum block

Because the bore will shrink and no longer be round, even with the cracked sleeve in there
