    Is that a Mercury or a Force? I can’t think of any Mercs that had a head gasket except V6s. Is it a Mercury Sport Jet 120? They used four cylinder Force power heads.

    Without knowing what engine it is, I couldn’t know for sure what available OS pistons you could get; but those grooves in the cylinder wall are VERY deep. I seriously doubt that one is worth saving.

    Long live American manufacturing!
