Hmmm – A timely thread .
I have a 5.5 I have apart now.
Although the motor doesn’t seem to have the expanded shock absorber issue, at present, I’m thinking to pull it out and weld, to eliminate future problems.
Some would say that if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, but I’d hate to find out about this, some day, far up the river ……
I have bronze shear pin stock in a couple sizes, that I put in all the motors anyway, and I have no problem with replacing them “in the field”.
