New Rings 98 115 SPL

[budsbud662]

Im thinking of buying a 115 evinrude with 120PSI on 3 cyl and 80psi on the other cylinder. I know its a crapshot but im thinking the one cylinder needs new rings and/or new rings on the whole thing.

If there are no holes in the cylinder sleeve would it be worth buying and re-ring and re-berring..

seller wants 500$ for the motor.

thanks.. its not a ficht

Re: New Rings 98 115 SPL

depends on the condition of the pistons and cyl walls

how do they look?

Re: New Rings 98 115 SPL

well before i buy it im going to peal off the head.

is it possible a stuck ring is causing the lower compression on that cylinder, maybe i could just decarb it..

the seller said the motor would only idle when warm, and didnt run good. so he bought an etec. repair was not attemepted. head was never off to be examined.

what do you guys think?

Re: New Rings 98 115 SPL

It all depends on what's tore up - you could probably get your $500 back parting it out if it turns out it's going to cost more time and effort than you want to spend to fix it. If you get lucky and it's a stuck ring, then you just got a steal. How lucky are you feeling?

i feal pretty lucky,

if the piston nor cylinder sleeve are screwed up. could i re-ring and hone that one cylinder???

what are the odds that it would work?

you can always bore that cyl hone the the rest replace all rings and gaskets and inspect bearings and thermos change waterpump waterpump imp
build carbs link and sink check total timeing and you will be running great
must have manual and use marine machine shop on whatever holes you do i usually get my piston or pistons from them they can also tell ya what kind of shape the others are in if its bad its already tore down sell lower and elecs
on ebay and try to talk him down to 300

out of context. how much does a machine shop standardly charge to press out a cylinder sleeve?

I wouldn't jump right to resleeving until you know .040 won't clean it up or it's cracked. Be sure to use a machine shop that's used to working on outboards. Some automotive machine shops get in trouble pretty easy with outboards. If you need contact info for marine machine shops just let us know.

Re: New Rings 98 115 SPL

The shop I'm using over here quoted $150 to resleeve, plus the cost of the sleeve (around $150 from what I saw online).

$42.50 per cylinder to bore, but if you've done a lot of car work you're probably getting a better deal than I am

Sounds like a fun project!
