Hi,
I'm new to to this forum and I am new to engine repair... I have done basic services but have never done anything to this extent. Im working on a mercruiser 5.7 fuel injected from a 2001 calabria ski boat. The boat was submerged with rain water because he unfortunately left the plug in. It was frozen until I soaked it with a 50/50 mix of atf and acetone mix. It broke free after removing the heads and hitting the pistons with a piece of wood and hammer. Eventually through time and hitting the piston and putting a pry bar on the fly wheel it moved. It moves pretty freely now however there are a few bores have rust pitting and buildup on the bore wall. Any information on what I should do would be great. Im trying to keep the budget low so hopefully I don't have to strip down the motor and rebuild it.
Heres the link for the photos...
Thanks ahead of time.
