Re: Rebuild or replace?

Well id tell ya to see if putting the penitrating oil in frees the motor up and then so check the compression if good compression then check the risers gaskets but look at the worst case new head gaskets 60 bucks for marine ones you dont wanna use reg ones and then 15 buck for intake gasket and now 75 bucks for new starter verses 2-4 grand for new motor that you will still have to work on
