Heard they've been biting good. Blew my motor up after putting on a new lower unit and have been out of commission.
fishinwrench Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 You sure did ! That's a rod journal bearing. Did it take out the crankshaft too? Bummer. Need help?

Not sure about crankshaft. Not sure what I am going to do yet being it is a 95. Was quoted $5k for a power head or $3k to resleeve and hone so not sure what to do.
fishinwrench Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 I can see where at least 2 roller bearings escaped so it's a safe bet there is crankshaft damage. It'll cost 450.00 to sleeve it, plus 5-600 for a good used crank and a new connecting rod. 1000.00 for all new pistons, bearings, and seals. Another 200 for gaskets, water pump ect. Then 22 hours of labor. A reman 2.5 powerhead is about 4500.00 plus 8 hours of labor to swap it. A few hours more if they refresh the fuel and cooling systems (which is actually required for PH warranty purposes).
