Ok here's what I got. Looks like classic water ingestion scores on mag piston and cylinder, yes it was flooded when a cooling hose came off. PTO side just has one small score on piston, cylinder good. Both are 1st over. So for so good. When I was pulling it apart I noticed two exhaust bolts sheared off flush in the mag cylinder. I tried to remove the bolts, no luck, broke the easy-outs.
So the questions are:
1. I have a spare standard piston. Can I use it and get a new standard mag cylinder and leave the PTO side at 1st over?
2. Should I re-ring and hone the good piston and cylinder, or just put it back together after cleaning up the small score with sandpaper?
3. Or I could take the cylinder to the shop and hope they can remove the sheared bolts, bore the cylinder and buy a new 2nd over piston?
Of course I want to keep costs as low as posible. The boat is a 95 XP and only worth what 2 grand at the most, running. If I can get another 50 to 100 hours out of the motor I would be happy. Thanks for your help.
