So bought new rings, ring tool, cylinder hone, gaskets and the wrong ring compressor. Trying to figure out how to make one. I’ve honed the cylinder cleaned the faces of the motor. Any advice on getting this back together or something else I should be thinking about?
Ring Compressors. The one in the yellow box I’ve had close to70 years. No good for outboard motors. I had been using these hose clamps till someone on here said these plastic ones work well. So I tried them. IMO they do work well. There on eBay for less than $15.00. May find them cheaper if you like to shop around.
A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
