Help on Mer 165

[Salmonhunter]

Hello all Im new to these kinds of boards so bare with me.<br />I own a Reniel 267 with twin Mer 165 (I-6 250's). Basially I need to rebuild my port engine it has some bad noise coming from it I'm thinking a rod. Question is should I just rip the motor out and buy a rebuild long block and if so can someone post some good sites to go to. Or pay an arm and a leg for a machine shop to rebuild it. <br />If anyone could send some good info my way that would be great.

Well,......<br />That's a matter of Opinion,+ Which Machineshop you're Friendly with..............<br /><br />Another Option,..........<br />Your motor is the Exact Same motor that was used in GM Pickup Trucks of That Time......<br /><br />Just as with the SBCs, or the 4.3ls,... There have been some Changes in the Basic motors over the Years.......<br />But,.....<br />If you can find an I6 that's for a GM Truck of the Same Vintage as your Boat,.......<br />It'll bolt Right In....... No Problems,....... Go Fishing........<br /><br />I'm Pretty Sure that the GM Goodwrench parts guy at your local GM Dealer can sell you a Brand New replacement motor,......<br />Reasonably Inexpencively............
